Shiva Yoga Shala SWFL

Shiva Yoga Shala SWFL Shala means home. We offer the highest quality Yoga instruction by experienced and compassionate teachers. Welcome hOMe🕉️
Est. 2015 Welcome hOMe.

Experience a variety of styles and practices, including an Aerial Yoga studio two doors down from the main studio. Shala is a sanskrit word meaning “home”. Therefore, a yoga shala is a gathering place for students of yoga to practice, share, experience and grow. The Shiva Yoga Shala is a sacred space for movement. In this space, we evoke the energy and learn to dance with Shiva, the Hindu deity of

destruction and transformation. In life, the only thing constant is change. In our Yoga practice Shiva is responsible for change through destroying the ego, and letting go of negative habits and attachments. Thus the power of destruction associated with Lord Shiva has great purifying power. In our main space, you will see a large statue of Shiva in his form, Nataraj, the “Lord of the Dance” to inspire and remind us to let go, open ourselves to change, and gracefully move through life. Our teachers create a safe space of acceptance and encouragement. Together we move to strengthen the unity of body, mind, and spirit. Each class offers a creative dynamic series of poses blended together with breath, music, and inspiration. A flow of energy and expression is created that strengthens your body, eases your mind, and touches your spirit. The Shiva Yoga Shala is a safe home for transformation. Our entire team is here to serve you on your journey.

Sometimes the best classes are born from a happy problem.

For most of my teaching career (over 22 years) I have used the wall as one of my favorite props- and my students love it❤️ They love the support, the deeper stretches, the way the body can finally relax and align. But the classes kept getting fuller… and eventually there just wasn’t enough wall space for everyone.

So… a dedicated Wall Yin class was born.

Now every Thursday morning the room fills with students who know just how good this work feels. I often hear the same thing:
“This is my favorite class.”

The wall isn’t just for stretching. It helps us strengthen, align, decompress, and let gravity do its magic. In my Forrest Yoga classes we use the wall in almost every practice.

If your body has been asking for a reset… this class might be exactly what you need.
Only 11 spots available per class so please sign up early 🙏🏽

He’s Back. TONIGHT 6p🔥

After his knee replacement and a powerful season of healing, Nick Montoya is returning to the mat to teach his Heated Power Vinyasa at 6PM.

Nick (one of the owners of the Shala) has guided this community for over 10 years with strength, humility, and deep wisdom—and now he returns with even more perspective on resilience, recovery, and what it truly means to practice yoga through life’s changes.

This first class back will be special. Expect a strong practice, thoughtful guidance, and insights from someone who has walked the path of healing himself.

Come flow. Come support. Come learn.

🕉 6PM Heated Power Vinyasa with Nick
Back where he belongs — in the Shala.

✨We are so proud to introduce SHALA AERIAL ARTS!

What began as an extension of our yoga practice has grown into something much more—an outlet for artistic expression, creative exploration, and a vibrant community of movers and aerial artists.

Over time, it’s become clear that “aerial yoga” no longer fully captures what we offer and deserves its own brand. Our aerial program has evolved beyond the mat, blending strength, creativity, and performance in ways that deserve a broader vision.

Shala Aerial Arts is an immersive aerial space where movement becomes expression. Our program weaves together aerial yoga, NEW lyra, choreography, and performance to create opportunities for both practice and artistry in the air.

Our intention is twofold:
to help yogis—both aerial and mat practitioners—deepen their relationship with movement, while also welcoming dancers, performers, and creatives who are seeking expression, not just fitness.

To support this expanded vision, Shala Aerial Arts will offer a mix of single-session classes, specialty workshops, and 6-week series. This structure allows students to drop in and explore, while also creating dedicated pathways for deeper skill-building, creative development, and performance-based work.
Whether you’re looking to try something new, refine technique, or immerse yourself in a more progressive learning experience, there will be opportunities to grow both your practice and your artistry in the air.

Big things are happening in the air this March. As part of the launch of Shala Aerial Arts, we’re kicking off three brand-new aerial series, introducing LYRA, and welcoming back a community favorite.
Scroll to learn about our Aerial Beginner, Aerial Step Up, and Aerial Choreography Series, and grab your spot for the first Floating Sound Bath!

✨Aerial spots are limited so remember to book early✨

See you in the air! And tag someone who you want to fly with!🦋

2026 Limited Edition Mantra Shirt is here 🤍

“Om Namah Shivaya.”

This isn’t just a design.
It’s a vibration.

Om — the sound of creation.
Namah — I bow.
Shivaya — to Shiva, the inner teacher, the consciousness within.

Together, this mantra means:
I bow to the highest, truest Self within me.

It’s a reminder that strength, clarity, and peace aren’t outside of you — they live inside you.

When you wear this mantra, you carry the practice with you.

✨ Limited edition 2026
✨ Styles for men + women

We don’t use Yoga to bypass the world as it is.
We practice Yoga to meet life with ethical clarity, compassion, and courage.

The Shiva Yoga Shala is a sanctuary — a safe place to feel all the things without judgement, to calm your nervous system, to move energy, to be in a loving community, and to become clear on the next right action.

We are here for all people, especially those who are struggling and those who are living with real and justified fear.

You belong here🙏🏽
