Welcome to Jai Yoga Cape Town
We are a family run yoga studio in central Cape Town, owned and managed by Jacqueline & Syed and our 3 year old son Jai, (“Jai” is Sanskrit for “victorious”). Housed within a National Monument, the stunning Spearhead Building in Cape Town, we invite you to take off your shoes and leave the world at the door….
With 2 spacious pure white Zen styled yoga rooms within the studio we are the only yoga studio offering a complete schedule of the 3 most popular styles of hot yoga and non-heated yoga - Ashtanga, Bikram and hot Vinyasa yoga. Take your pick from one of our many hot yoga classes on offer in our Sun room – the hot yoga studio where we have Bikram yoga and Hot Vinyasa yoga classes. Alternatively choose to practice a yoga class in our non – heated peaceful and meditative Moon room with Ashtanga yoga Mysore Style, Beginners Yoga and Pregnancy Yoga. For meditations we have Yoga Nidra. We have plenty of beginners yoga classes as well as many yoga classes for advancing yoga students. For those who prefer one to one tuition we offer private yoga classes and we also give regular yoga workshops for yoga beginners and yoga students who wish to deepen their understanding of yoga. For businesses we are happy to travel and provide yoga classes in any suitable location.
The hot yoga studio – the Sun Room has stunning views of Cape Town’s Table Mountain and Lion’s Head and is bathed in natural light. This is where Bikram Yoga and Hot Vinyasa Yoga classes are held. The two side walls are floor to ceiling glass, affording views of the harbor and allowing sunlight to flood into the hot yoga studio. A floating glass strip at the front of the hot yoga studio above the mirrors completes the feeling of being surrounded by nature and light.. The non heated yoga studio – the Moon Room has a peaceful and meditative atmosphere, pure white walls and floors welcome you as you enter this yoga studio, with its high ceiling and crystal chandelier.
We designed the studio to be a user friendly and comfortable space – the studio comprises over 600sqm of which 400sqm is devoted to changing rooms, the lounge area and reception. To ensure you experience peace and tranquility in the heart of Cape Town and connect with the energy of Table Mountain, the studio is a a cell free zone,. If you wish to work on your mobile device we have free Wi-Fi available – please ask at reception for the code.
A major consideration when building Jai yoga studio was the environmental impact of the build as well as the long term carbon footprint. We built the yoga studio using approximately 70% recycled materials sourced from the existing structures that were in place when we acquired the space. All other materials were sourced locally in Cape Town with careful consideration for there environment. CFC bulbs, high efficiency heaters, low flow water systems, energy saving designs and recycling are all integrated in to the day to day running of the studio.
