Komal Majmundar
My journey in yoga truly began in college when I realized I needed to find a way to better navigate the stress and anxiety of everyday life. I didn’t know then how deeply yoga would change me. But as I began practicing, I noticed something shifting very quickly not just in my body, but within me. I felt calmer, more grounded, and more connected to myself. That feeling was undeniable, and I knew very quickly I had found something I wanted to carry with me through life.
In July 2015, I decided to open Roots Yoga Studio here in Journal Square, Jersey City a place that has been home to me for most of my life. Creating this space has given me the opportunity to share with others something that has given me so much.
With an emphasis on mindfulness, I treat my classes as a moving meditation. To me, yoga is much more than a physical practice. Meditation and breath are woven throughout each class as we move through both simple and more physically challenging postures. We build strength and flexibility in the body while learning to quiet the mind, become present, and create space within.
What I hope to offer through my classes is a space where you can simply be. A place to pause from the busyness of life, reconnect with yourself, and perhaps hear the quieter voice within. And with time, hopefully that connection begins to extend beyond the mat - bringing greater inner peace, clarity, confidence, and a deeper sense of well-being into everyday life.
Some words from my students
"Komal and Roots Yoga Studio came into my life when I needed it the most. I had dibbled and dabbled in yoga before, but never felt quite connected to it. That was until I met Komal! She has an amazing energy about her and gives you space to feel the moments."
- Jasmine
"The studio's intimate and warm space, matches the demeanor of its instructor, Komal. Her gentle guidance through deceptively simple poses invite quiet exploration. Here, one can sit alone and focus and hear those thoughts running...and let them all go."
- Lisa Perez
"What a gem this yoga studio is in the heart of Journal Square!
A true sanctuary to practice a gentle form of Hatha Yoga for
beginners and more experienced students as well.
The instructor, Komal, has created a very comfortable environment
and is very helpful in the needs of each individual student as she
guides each class. She has an intuitive sense of what each individual needs and leads each class with a calm steady flow with slight variations from class to class which keep it interesting and fresh."
- William Charas
"The small intimate space allows for great personalized attention from the instructor. Very different from some other studios where you are lost in a sea of faces.
The instructor, Komal, is amazingly grounded and intent on your personal development in yoga. I love that each class is a fluid experience that includes poses, meditation, breathing exercises and relaxation."
-Chris Chung
"While I was going through a tough time in my life, I decided to try alternative methods to help me get over my obstacles and eventually be able to enjoy my life. After visiting more than a couple of yoga studios website's I came across Sacred Souls Yoga studio and something told me that this was the place. I can only speak from my own experience; I have not only found a fantastic yoga instructor but a beautiful human being. Komal is caring, passionate and her energy made me feel at home."
