Mindfulness. Vinyasa. Alignment.

JEM yoga is a practice of yoga asanas informed by precise attention to alignment and supported by  relaxed breathing, and a calm clear tranquil mind.

JEM yoga is owned and operated by one small, dynamic entity -- our own Jeanne McElwain. 

Jeanne “found her calling” to teach Yoga,  and opened up Jem yoga studio. My journey began with embracing the physical aspects of yoga, the asanas. As I became more aware of my body and became familiar with it's imbalances I dove deeper into using the breath. The breath helped me go further into the poses creating more strength and flexability. A feeling of calm and a peaceful happiness rose within myself as I increased my number of classes and private practice sessions. It was a feeling that I had to share. Everyone deserves to be happy, and teaching yoga would serve Merrick and the surrounding communities. It is my goal to help students make changes in the body, which brings changes to the mind. Wanting to be free of back pain, we can also find freedom from negative activity. Hoping for strength and stamina, we also find determination and concentration. Seeking relief from tight hamstrings we find also unlimited reserves of physical and mental energy. Trying to release tight shoulders and a stiff neck, we find a new fund of enthusiam and joy!

Jem Yoga is located directly on Merrick Avenue, one block north of the Long Island Railroad.

We hope to welcome you soon.
