This bridge heel lift is subtle, but its effects reach deep into your body and nervous system. 🌱

With each lift and lower, each intentional breath, your hips, glutes, and core awaken. Your body begins to discover balance and control in ways it has almost forgotten.

These gentle, precise movements quietly retrain how you move, teaching your body safer patterns, releasing tension, and sharpening your awareness of every shift and micro-adjustment. Even a few mindful minutes can transform the way your body feels, responds, and flows.

There’s a certain magic in slowing down and feeling every nuance of your own strength. Let your body remember its potential, let your nervous system find calm, and let your awareness deepen.

If you’re curious to explore more ways to move mindfully and strengthen from the inside out, you can discover these practices in our Body Mechanics classes at theyogashala.com.

“I had never practiced yoga before. I wasn’t sure where to start or what to expect.”

Mary came to The Yoga Shala as a complete beginner — curious, cautious, and looking for guidance. And just like so many who join us, she stayed. She practiced. She grew.

With Krista and Laura’s support, she began to notice shifts she never expected: more strength in her body, more ease in her movements, and a calm clarity in her mind.

“I feel supported in every class. Krista’s Body Mechanics sessions help with my back pain, and Laura’s beginner yoga and sound bath classes leave me feeling relaxed, centered, and renewed. I never thought yoga could feel this accessible and restorative.”

That’s the heart of The Yoga Shala: helping you trust your body, your breath, and your own potential for growth — whether you’re a beginner, returning after a break, or deepening a long-standing practice.

This is Mysore-style Ashtanga yoga.
It looks different.
Because it is different.

In this space, there’s no instructor at the front calling out poses.
No group moving in unison.
No pressure to keep up or perform.

Instead, each student follows their own breath, their own rhythm, and the sequence they’ve been taught, gradually, progressively, at their pace.

Personalized guidance happens one-on-one, throughout the room.

Students arrive anytime within a two-hour window, so practice fits into your life, not the other way around.

No two practices look alike, and that’s exactly the point.

This method meets you where you are.

It allows for true self-awareness, real progress, and deep internal focus.

It’s not led. It’s lived.

Whether you’re new to Ashtanga or returning after time away, this space was built for you.

🗓 Mysore classes every weekday and Saturday mornings & Mon–Thurs evenings
