The Yoga Shala

Established in 2003, The Yoga Shala is a community of practitioners dedicated to teaching Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga in the tradition of Sri K Pattabhi Jois. All of our classes are based on his method. Ashtanga yoga is a special practice and one that has changed and enriched the lives of practitioners around the world. This traditional yoga method (vinyasa karma) cleanses, strengthens and makes flexible the body and mind. By coordinating the breath (Ujjayi) with energetic locks (Bandhas) and specific gazing points (Drishti), the student learns to still the mind and fine-tune their attention; essentially “getting to know them self better”. Dedication to practice is healing for all aspects of the individual and over time is integrated into daily life and relationships.
