About Jai Kaur

Jai Kaur

(pronounced like "jīe core")

Annamaria San Antonio

My birth name Annmarie San Antonio was the good name I was given and used until 2005 when I received the name “Jai Kaur“ as I completed Level I Kundalini Yoga Teacher Training.

The meaning of “Jai Kaur" as given: “The Victorious Goddess who walks powerfully and gracefully through her life", motivates me to
keep up with my practice!

LCMT, CLT, NCTMB, E-RYT500, Medical Massage Therapist, and Certified Lymphedema Therapist.


I have been licensed for more than 33+ years in holistic healing offering a multi-dimensional integration of Eastern and Western therapies. 


I am inspired through compassion to offer my skill and experience with over 30 years of study and practice.


I bring it all to the treatment table and to our healing time together.


Let’s connect and discuss your particular needs and concerns.

Jai Kaur has the most extensive knowledge of the body of any massage therapist I have experienced. She is a good communicator and seems to sense the area of the body that needs more attention. She is a healer.

I have received massages from Jai to address lymphedema in my leg, as well as to provide a general massage experience.  She is a genuine and mature healer.  
She has helped me with bronchial congestion, fatigue, and just plain feeling cold and run down.
Her massage studio, overlooking fields, is a sanctuary. You can start to feel better just by arriving.

I first met Jai in kundalini yoga class where her insight and compassionate teaching immediately stood out. As I began working with her more closely, I discovered her multidisciplinary approach to health, combining yoga with specialized bodywork, lymphatic massage, and craniosacral therapy along with clear, scientific explanations of their benefits.
Her evaluations are thoughtful and holistic-considering emotional, physical, and spiritual aspects, along with medical history, lifestyle, diet, and stress levels. Before each session, she takes time to check in, making the experience personal and genuinely caring.
Working with Jai has been deeply healing. Her style of care fills the gap often found in the traditional medical model. She offers a meaningful path towards wellness that supports the whole person.

After undergoing treatment for breast cancer, I was seeking a specialist in Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) to help manage ongoing symptoms associated with lymph node removal and radiation treatment.  My OT recommended I see Jai and I am so grateful that I did!  Jai has such a wide range of expertise and knowledge in prevention of lymphedema and promotion of healing that draws from multiple perspectives and modalities (MLD, exercise, massage, life-style, and yoga, just to name a few).  Several months after I started treatment with Jai, I also underwent foot surgery.  In my sessions with Jai after that surgery, she integrated massage of the affected area into my treatment time to soften the scar tissue, reduce swelling, and help me regain full movement again. In appointments, she treats the whole body and whole person, masterfully adjusting her focus and healing modalities to what the body needs on a particular day. She is a gifted healer with multiple tools at her disposal. Because I have been able to work with Jai, I am confident that I am much healthier overall and have recovered more quickly and more fully from both my breast cancer treatment and foot surgery.

Jai Kaur is an excellent provider of multi-dimensional bodywork care. I have been seeing her on and off for massages for the past 15 years, at least, and I have always found my sessions with her to be more fine-tuned, precise, and comprehensive than any other massage that I've received.

After a massage, Jai Kaur generously offers time to further discuss any health-related concerns, epiphanies, or observations. She has vast knowledge across many practices such as bodywork, yoga, ayurveda, pressure points, exercises & stretches, and lymphatic drainage techniques.

These are only a fraction of the areas in Jai Kaur 's knowledge base. I highly recommend Jai Kaur as a massage therapist and I'm grateful to have her as part of my overall health support team.

She has helped me put myself back together many times over the years.

Yoga has been our greatest recent discovery. We had heard about the many benefits of yoga for a long time but it was only when we started receiving instruction from Jai Kaur that we understood what the hype was about.

We have now been doing yoga for about a year and a half and our flexibility has greatly improved, muscles that we never knew we had are starting to respond, and breathing has become a lot more conscious and seemingly nurturing.

Yoga has become a regular and indispensable companion for us. We cherish our weekly sessions at our home with Jai Kaur.  We like the way she customizes the exercise routine depending on our condition and interests.”

I first met Jai Kaur over 13 years ago when I took a yoga class from her.
Shortly thereafter I began working with her to relieve aches and pains due to pregnancy.

Over the years I have become a regular bodywork client of Jai Kaur. Through this work I have gained trust in my body and learned how to deal better with some of its quirks. Jai Kaur is knowledgeable about how the systems of the body work together and offers support to bring balance to those systems.

​Jai Kaur was particularly helpful in my journey back to trusting my body after being diagnosed and treated for cancer. She gently reached out during treatment, but was sensitive to my need for space.

When I was ready she offered a space full of support and free of judgment as I healed physically and emotionally.

I can recommend Jai Kaur who I have been to for many years here in Lincoln. She does an excellent massage together with other forms of therapy.

After yesterday’s bodywork, I feel great today, and had a GREAT night last night. I was somewhat unsure how it would be heading directly into a rehearsal, but it was actually quite amazing.

I am teaching a new song this season, and while it's always fun, last night felt distinctly different. My energy was flowing so freely. I was able to be in the moment and respond to what people were doing and move the song forward in a beautiful, free-flowing, organic way. I did several things that I hadn't planned, but just came to me in the moment and it was such a great energetic place to be.

I kept thinking about what you said about the lymph work unblocking stuck energy, and I felt my teaching last night was a total manifestation of that.

Today was an intense work day, but I keep getting little visions of yesterday, and feel like that was a magical, healing time. I can't thank you enough.

I regularly go to Jai Kaur for massage therapy. I have had several neck and back issues

as well as sports injuries. Her work has eased my pain and helped speed my recovery.

I always sleep peacefully the night after I have a massage with Jai Kaur.

Her massages allow for total body relaxation.

My husband and I have both received excellent and restorative massages from Jai. She effectively healed an aching hip for me, and the pain has not returned in over a year. She is very knowledgeable, listens very carefully to your concerns and is always improving her expertise and adding new therapies.

We highly recommend her services.

Thank you again for seeing me on short notice. My abdominal bloating interferes with everything and you were a great help in bringing down the swelling, addressing my pain and in giving me a better understanding of the source of that pain.

I look forward to my next lymphatic massage with you.

I woke up today with a clear brain and lots of energy. Is this a result of the massage, the detox foot bath? Or both?

Whatever it is, I haven’t felt this good for quite some time.

Thanks!

What sets Jai Kaur apart for me is her dedication to continuing to learn about her craft and then sharing her extensive and growing knowledge with her clients. She customizes your time with her to address your specific needs and creates a comfortable, relaxing, and safe environment to receive treatment.

I gave each of my adult children massages for Christmas, and I’m happy to report that they thoroughly enjoyed their experiences as orchestrated by Jai Kaur right here in Lincoln.

They received not only massages but also greater insights into how the body holds tension as well as some techniques to release them. Overall, they and I were very pleased.

Thank you, Jai Kaur!

I was super appreciative of the quality of the massage that I got with Jai Kaur,

especially given the circumstances of her setting up temporarily in our gym as opposed

to the confines of her regular practice.

She was friendly to engage with, mindful of what I said my needs were, and

provided some helpful tips for alleviating the stressors in between massages.

I very much look forward to my next massage with Jai.

When I first read Jai’s Yoga Class flyer in my email, I gave it cursory attention and then forgot about it. Some time later, something made me go back and look at it again. Without any conscious deliberation, I decided to go for it and with a quick reply, kundalini yoga was part of my life.

After the first class, it was clear that this was an important path that I needed to embark on.

Each subsequent class has opened me to growth physically, mentally, and spiritually.

I regularly go to Jai Kaur for massage therapy. I have had several neck and back issues as well as sports injuries. Her work has eased my pain and helped speed my recovery.

I always sleep peacefully the night after I have a massage with Jai Kaur. Her massages allow for total body relaxation. When I was 9 months pregnant with my third baby, I went to Jai Kaur for a prenatal massage.

My midwife had determined that the baby was lying in a posterior position, which can lead to a long, painful labor. Since this had happened in my first labor, I was eager to change the baby’s position.

During a wonderful massage from Jai Kaur, I actually felt the baby change position. At my next appointment, my midwife confirmed that the baby was now anterior. Jai Kaur recommended some gentle stretches and exercises, and the baby did not move back to the posterior position. My labor was fast and very joyful.

​I have and will continue to recommend Jai Kaur’s services to family, friends, and acquaintances. She has incredible skill and talent for healing. Her teaching can help others to find serenity in a crazy, busy world.

I first began practicing Kundalini Yoga under Jai Kaur when my children were 1 and 3 years old. I was often exhausted and drained from the strains of motherhood. I had regular muscle spasms in my neck and shoulders from nursing and carrying my baby.

Once a week, I had the luxury of getting a workout and releasing tension from tight muscles. But the greatest benefit by far was the relaxation Jai Kaur led the class through. After each class, I felt at peace and energized, ready to take on another week of parenting.

I really enjoyed your Movement Intelligence™ tutorial. I wrote down as many of the movements as I could remember and have incorporated them into my early morning practice (an Iyengar Yoga/Stott Pilates mix). I definitely look forward to learning more!”

ince I first started Kundalini Yoga, I have taken many different yoga classes.

Each class has its own flavor. However, no class offers the spiritual dimension of Jai Kaur’s class.

As she leads the students through poses, Jai Kaur talks about ways to achieve and maintain balance in our life.

Her meditations guide students in thinking about our relationship to the world around us.

I have found this piece lacking in other yoga classes.
