Purposely and consciously approaching women I value and respect to part of the Shala founding team was a really important process for me prior to opening The Yoga Shala Edinburgh. Yoga teachers who hold space authentically and who do so with the intention of creating calm, nurturing and inclusive practices.
Offering all elements of yoga while consciously supporting all levels of practice.
Meet Our Facilitators - a community of teachers who live the practice of yoga.

At the Shala शाला we value our teachers, their trainings, their life experiences and their commitment to the yogic lifestyle. Valuing each teacher goes beyond simple appreciation: their guidance helps deepen our and their own practice in a share commitment, fostering personal growth, and exploring spiritual development.

Another new offering on The Yoga Shala शाला schedule | Sacred Breath & Sister Circles with Natalie Salvesen.

SACRED BREATH 🪷
Breathwork is an ancient and transformative practice that taps into the body’s natural ability to reach expanded states of consciousness, release stagnant emotions and energy, and foster a deeper connection with the self.

Saturday 28th June | 2-4pm
Sunday 27th July | 4-6pm
Saturday 13th September | 2-4pm

SISTER CIRCLES ✨
a space created to honour the innate power of women gathering to create sisterhood —celebrating and learning from each other in our rich diversity and shared humanity. This circle is a conscious response to collective patriarchal wounds—an act of reclaiming our power by reconnecting with each other, our bodies, our intuition, and our belonging. 🤍

Sunday 6th July | 5-730pm
Sunday 3rd August | 5-730pm
Sunday 7th September | 5-730pm

We look forward to welcoming you into the Shala for these transformative offerings.

I've been sitting with this idea for a while, and I'm really pleased to now put it out into the universe and see where it lands.

✨T E A C H E R S C O L L E C T I V E ✨
When I first contemplated opening my own the idea initially came from craving support and mentorship, for guidance, community and belonging. The past studios I have worked in have fallen very short of this, and in fact created an environment of competition, insecurity and doubt. Fuelling the idea that social media likes and the popularity of your classes, determined your value as a teacher.

At The Yoga Shala Edinburgh we do things a little differently. We create support rather than creating competition. We offer a space to grow your offering, rather than creating doubt.

If you are a yoga teacher based in or and would like to join the Teachers Collective please reach out via email.

I've been working towards Astavakrasana, 8 angle pose, and finally felt steady and strong in this asana this morning.

What pose are you working on at the moment - leave thoughts and names in the comments.

I still have to pinch myself sometimes just to let it sink in that The Yoga Shala has come to fruition. Creating a yoga schedule that resonates and has a balance between intermediate asana with vinyasa flow, and the stillness of nidra and yin yoga. A space that feels welcoming and available for experienced practitioners, but equally available for those who have never practiced before.

I particularly love Saturdays in the studio, starting with a yin yang practice, creating the ebb and flow of stillness and movement. Followed by our Introduction to Yoga 6 week course, watching attendees build confidence, fluidity and mobility week after week.
Always stopping for tea, catching up on the week past, learning and connecting with each other and building the community that trust me with their practice, time and energy.

Do you want to know the one piece of advice that has stuck with me since opening my own yoga studio……? >> The Yoga Shala Edinburgh

The shameful Supreme Court decision is not a win for women, it is a violent setback in feminist history. Bodily autonomy is key to feminist liberation.
From abortion to transition, feminist and trans liberation are two sides of the same coin.

At The Yoga Shala we proudly stand with our trans community and everyone is welcome for practice. Yoga in Action = supporting and speaking up for justice, for equality and for human rights.

At The Yoga Shala we stand with the trans community.
Yoga in action means always supporting and speaking up for justice, for equality and for human rights. Everyone is welcome at the Shala for practice, and no shameful Supreme Court ruling will change that. Trans rights are human rights.
