🪷 Ever wanted a retreat that feels less like “checking out” and more like “coming home”? 🌱
That’s Seva.
Part yoga, part community, part getting dirt under your nails 🐛 (the good kind).
Here’s the rhythm:
🌀 Wake up to morning meditation + yoga posture practice + yoga philosophy
🌱 Give back with a few hours of hands-in-the-earth work
🔥 Evenings with laughter, games, song, and campfires
🥗 Meals so fresh they might’ve been in the ground yesterday
It’s not just a retreat. It’s where selfless service becomes the sweetest practice.
🪶 Join us Sept 3–7 or Sept 24–28, 2025 in the Ozarks. From just $300.
✨ Link in bio to snag your spot.

Your breath has POWER.
Dive into our Free Pranayama Practice Now.
Breathwork, or Pranayama, is a potent somatic practice that anchors your attention in the physical body and, therefore, reveals to you what was there all along, yet hidden from direct awareness.

Here at Circle Yoga Shala, our method is not one of chasing pain or getting lost in symptoms.
We use a whole-body approach to understand the origin of the problem and then we target our foam rolling precisely to that specific spot.
If you’re interested in learning more, we teach all this and more in our upcoming MoveWise Biomechanical certification.
Next MoveWise starts September 18 a Sparkfit in Little Rock, Arkansas.
You can learn more and register at the link bio.
We’d love to see you there.

Making space for transformation shouldn’t be out of reach.
That’s why facilitation for the Men’s Circle Retreat is donation-based — with a suggested minimum of $250.
Your contribution supports the work, the guide, and the container.
Lodging and meals are chosen separately, so you can find the option that best fits you.
The goal is simple: keep this retreat accessible, while honoring the value of the circle.

Circle Yoga Shala is a School for Yoga, Creative Movement, and Self-Inquiry in Arkansas’ Ozark Mountains. We are a Member School of the International Association of Yoga Therapists (IAYT) and a registered school with the National Yoga Alliance.
At the heart of all we do is contemplation, self-observation, and service.
We offer yoga teacher trainings in our 200-hour, 500-hour, and 800-hour Professional Yoga Therapy programs. We teach principles and methods that are grounded in somatic inquiry, and not inherently limited to a style of practice. To take a posture that is filled with one’s attention, ‘sensing’ what is happening (seeing and recognizing rather than thinking about), and then responding intelligently is to move with reality rather than projecting onto it. This somatic inquiry is taught in asana (movement and stillness), in meditation (sitting and walking), and in a felt relationship to the three centers: head, heart, and gut. This method lays the foundation for self-inquiry and contemplation.
Join our Seva program available each June for an opportunity to immerse in practice, community and nature without enrolling in a formal teacher training.
We also specialize in developing movement strategies from the simple to the complex to the spontaneous. We work with professional athletes and are consultants on Team Slukova' and Hermannova', Czech Republic's Olympic Women's Beach Volleyball team.
The philosophical basis for our teaching comes from 'East meets West': the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, the Pancha Maya Model, the Five Elements, the Kleshas, the Gunas, Ayurveda, and the Enneagram, as well as evolutionary theory, neuroscience and bio-mechanics, and Integral Psychology.
The school is also a living farm. The property consists of approximately 1/2 acre organic vegetable gardens, edible flowers and herbs, an orchard, chickens and horses. The Shala is an approved farm with the World Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms Organization, WWOOF.
We focus on sustainability practices, including composting and water conservation. Life here is a living example of the inter-connectedness of all things.
All meals are served in part from the farm and constructed with an understanding of Ayurveda, and the most current scientifically backed practices in nutrition.
We can accommodate up to 20 people residentially at the Shala for scheduled activities only. There are spaces available for couples.
