Our mission at A Jewel in the Lotus Yoga is to educate and inspire students of Yoga to study and incorporate the Four Paths Yoga into One’s Practice and/or teaching of Yoga.
The physical aspect of Yoga is a strong piece of Yoga, however, it is not considered to be the only part of this Yoga. A Jewel in the Lotus Yoga understands individuals have unique needs that should be addressed in order to reach the state of Yoga. Hatha Yoga (Physical Yoga), Jnana Yoga (Study of Texts and oneself), Karma Yoga (Selfless service) and Bhakti Yoga (Devotional Yoga) are all cultivated. The student of A Jewel in the Lotus Yoga is encouraged and taught to incorporate all aspects of Yoga into One’s Practice and Life.
The Hatha Yoga taught is a Vinyasa Yoga based on the lineage of
T Krishnamacharya. This lineage and this Yoga incorporates Vinyasa Yoga based on the Ashtanga Vinyasa System, Alignment based Yoga (Iyengar Yoga), Restorative Yoga and Yoga Therapy (Viniyoga). Jnana Yoga, the study of various Texts and Philosophies is encouraged. Karma Yoga, selfless service, is Practiced within One’s circle of Life and One’s community to ultimately Realize the connection between the individual Self and the World. Bhakti Yoga, or Devotional Yoga is also cultivated through commitment to the Practice of Yoga Asana, Meditation, Mantra and chanting.
Due to the unique physical, mental and spiritual needs of the student of Yoga, the individual, the Four types of Yoga are taught in depth and cultivated through practice.
A Jewel in the Lotus Yoga is a collective effort of Angela Strynkowski, Lisa Mondello-Morris and Dr. Michael Diamond.
We are committed to:
***Offering Programs that are of an Interdisciplinary, Eclectic and of a Multidimensional nature.
***Offering various Programs that are accessible to all.
***Offering Programs that align with YA’s Code of Conduct and CYTA Code of Professional Ethics.
***Offering a Program that is affordable to all who wish to deepen their understanding of Yoga.
***Offering a program that embraces and encompasses all of the Path’s of Yoga that can then be Practiced and taught without conflicting with other traditions or types of Yoga.
The History of Our School:
The inspiration for creating A Jewel In The Lotus Yoga comes from the heart. Both Angela S.(200-ERYT) & Lisa M.(500 ERYT) have been devoted students & teachers of yoga for over 20 years. We realized that we wanted to serve our community & offer teacher training and deeper learning experiences for our neighbors here on Long Island. There are many TT’s offered in NYC, which is often quite difficult for the LI house holder to commit to. With our strong classical & modern training, extensive experience and user friendly approach, we intend to offer a high quality, well rounded yoga education. Access to our location can be by car or train, which gives ease of commute for our students. The demand for high quality yoga continues to grow and we are committed to provide the best yoga teacher training that complies with YA standards.
This will be a combined effort of:

The Location of Our Trainings:
The Fitness Incentive in Babylon, NY
on the
South Shore of Long Island
Fitness Incentive has a special place in My Life, Teaching of Yoga and Heart. I have taught there for almost as long as I have been teaching. For a time, I had the honor of Managing their Body/Mind program and had the "opportunity" to bring onto our staff many talented and well studied teachers. Fitness Incentive has a very strong Yoga Program. The students of Yoga at Fitness Incentive are some of the most dedicated and sincere practioners that I have had the opportunity to meet. After numerous trips to California to study with Tim Miller, Retreats with Richard Freeman in Utah at Inner Harmony, Kripalu, Omega and after study, climbing and play the Himalyas, coming home to Fitness Incentive is wonderful. It was only natural that I would bring these Trainings to Fitness Incentive and it was only natural that they welcomed us with Open Arms! Thank you Ken and Cor...and Dina and Rae!!

Fitness Incentive has various types of Yoga classes. We have many Workshops throughout the year on everything from Couples Massage, Ashtanga Yoga, Tantra Yoga, Beginners Workshops....
For the time that I "managed" the Body/Mind Program, I had the honor of bringing some inspiring and educational Workshops to FI.
