​
The DAYA Foundation was founded by Sarahjoy Marsh and Jay Gregory who envisioned a vibrant yoga studio, a center for yoga therapy, mindfulness, and the integration of East and West, Mind and Body, and contemplative and active processes.

They also envisioned a passionate community of practitioners whose lives would feel more whole, vital, and interconnected by a shared commitment to socially-conscious yoga, offered to all those in need. ​
