Our mission is to get people enlightened through the practice of yoga, meditation, and Buddhist philosophy. Enlightenment is just a fancy word for the state of mind that is at peace and happy. Everything we need to be happy comes from within, and we have the map to navigate that path.
Three Jewels serves over 5,000 students per year, offers more than 50 classes per week, and provides services to the city and internationally by giving free meditation and yoga classes to homeless families, school teachers, children, people recovering from addiction, trauma-sensitive care to refugees and earthquake survivors, and much more.

LEAD TEACHER
Hector Marcel has been studying and practicing Tibetan Buddhism for 20 years. He is a passionate organizational change management consultant helping executives drive transformational change in their organizations through an emphasis on culture, people and service. He is a master teacher of meditation and eastern philosophy, linking ancient Asian ideas to modern western systems for individuals and teams. Hector serves on the board of the Asian Classics Institute, he is the director of the 108 Lives Project and is the president of Three Jewels (the Enlightenment Studio), a New York based studio dedicated to help people reach their highest potential through meditation, yoga, public talks and community outreach. He believes that meditation opens the door to every personal achievement. Hector is treasured by his students for his immense kindness, humor, and generous wisdom.
Supriya Jain is a digital strategist at a recently acquired East Village startup, and discovered Three Jewels on a lunch break. She has since become a daily meditator, curious yogi, and dedicated dharma practitioner. In 2018, Supriya completed the Three Jewels 200-hour Meditation Teacher Training. That same year, she completed a rigorous study of the 15 Foundational Buddhist Courses as offered through the Asian Classic Institute, which parallels the basic core of information that a Geshe (Doctor of Theology) learns at a Tibetan Buddhist monastery. Supriya has also been the Director of the studio's Karma Yoga work-study program since the studio’s re-location at the start of 2018. Her motivation is to help others find the discipline and depthless joy of a spiritual practice that delivers extra-ordinary results. She is indebted to Three Jewels for revealing her teachers.
