About

Welcome to my new website!  My name is Jayendra Hanley.  I live in Allentown, Pennsylvania, where I offer live and online courses in Anusara Yoga and individual instruction in Neelakantha Meditation.  It is a great pleasure to share the practices that I love with all who seek to experience the highest through yoga.

I started to practice hatha yoga and meditation in the late 70’s.  I met my main hatha yoga teacher, John Friend, in the early 90’s. Shortly after, I began teaching Anusara Yoga.  In 2004, I moved to Europe, where I lived for 15 years, teaching Anusara Yoga at my home in Spain and then the Netherlands, and visiting many countries around Western Europe to offer Anusara Yoga courses and teacher trainings. 

What a blessing and an honor it has been to teach Anusara Yoga, a method that has changed the course of my own life, which I discuss on my Anusara Yoga page.  

Neelakantha Meditation is a practice of deep meditation that is easy to learn and accessible to everyone.  I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone seeking profound meaning, peace, and benevolence in life.  Neelakantha Meditation can be learned in a short 2-day course, after which students receive a lifetime of support for their daily practice.  Each month, I meet online with students from Hawaii to Europe.  During these monthly sessions, we meditate together and discuss the practice.  Those who participate are often pleasantly surprised by how strong the group meditations can be, even online, and so this has become a unique, meaningful connection for kula members.  Please see my Neelakantha Meditation page for more information.

To learn about when I will be offering classes or courses in Anusara Yoga, or individual instruction in Neelakantha Meditation, please see my Calendar of Events.  

As I like to say at the end of my workshops, “Enjoy your practice, because if you enjoy it, you’ll do it.”
