Jay, who directs the content of the sessions, draws inspiration from his eclectic family history of yogis and diverse range of experience teaching beach yoga. His grandmother who has been traveling regularly to India
for 50 years, lectures on meditation and self-realization in the Chicagoland area were Jay was raised. He uses his grandmother’s compassion and wisdom to guide him in his teaching along with inspiration from his ancestor Siegmund Breitbart, the Jewish “Superman of the Ages” who amid rising anti-semitism in the 1920’s used yoga exercises and diet to become strong enough to bend steel, be named the strongest man in the world, and inspire two young Jews to create the Superman comic a decade later. Jay used Siegmund’s teachings on yoga and strength to help several Northwestern University athletic programs to new heights, using the University’s beaches as an ideal training ground. The success of the beach yoga techniques at Northwestern led to a position as partner and lead instructor of Chicago’s largest beach yoga company and distinction by the Chicago Tribune as having the best outdoor yoga in the city.
