Just Breathe Yoga Studio began as a small sanctuary for movement and mindfulness in Rome, NY. Over the past two decades, it has grown into a warm, welcoming community studio and a nationally recognized Registered Yoga School offering high?quality education for teachers across the country.

Our mission has always been simple:
Create a space where people can breathe, heal, learn, and come home to themselves.

Our Philosophy

At JBYS, yoga is more than postures — it is a practice of presence, compassion, and transformation. We honor yoga’s lineage while embracing modern accessibility, trauma?informed teaching, and the wisdom of the subtle energy body. Every class, workshop, and training is rooted in authenticity, integrity, and heart.

Our Lineage

Just Breathe is led by Nicole Hayman?Sherman, ERYT?500, YACEP, RCYT, RPYT, Ayurvedic Practitioner, and Grand Master of Yoga. Nicole’s teachings blend classical yoga philosophy, Ayurveda, meditation, and chakra wisdom with a grounded, modern approach that meets students exactly where they are.

Our Community

JBYS is home to a diverse team of instructors and hundreds of students who share a commitment to growth, healing, and connection. We believe yoga should be accessible to all — through our Pay?It?Forward Pending Yoga Program, community events, and inclusive teaching approach.

Our Space

Our studio home in Rome, NY, is a place of breath, movement, and transformation. It is a space where students feel safe, supported, and welcomed — whether they are stepping onto the mat for the first time or deepening their practice as teachers.

Our Commitment

To offer meaningful yoga education, compassionate community, and a space where every person feels seen, supported, and empowered.
