Ashtanga Yoga Workshop | Sunday, November 16th

Each month at The Yoga Shala, we gather for a deep dive into practice—an opportunity to explore, refine, and reconnect with the heart of Ashtanga Yoga.

This month’s workshop includes:
✨ 8:00–10:00 AM | Mysore
A personalized class where you’ll receive one-on-one guidance, adjustments, and support as you move at your own pace.

✨ 10:30 AM–12:30 PM | Oppositions of Forces: Standing Sequence
Discover how balance is created through opposing forces—rooting vs. rising, pushing vs. pulling—and transform the way you approach the standing series. Expect clarity, strength, and a whole new awareness of alignment.

Led by Krista Shirley, Level II Authorized Ashtanga teacher and owner of The Yoga Shala, this workshop is designed to empower you to grow in your practice—whether you’re brand new or years along the path.

Give your nervous system a true reset. For 60 minutes, let waves of crystal bowl sound unwind tension, quiet mental noise, and create space for deep rest. No effort. No “doing.” Just receive.

This is your weekly exhale—perfect before a busy week, gentle enough for anyone, powerful enough to shift how you feel.

✨ Why Mysore-Style Ashtanga Yoga Might Be Exactly What You’ve Been Looking For ✨

In a typical group-led yoga class, it’s easy to feel lost in the crowd. The pace may move too quickly, leaving you unsure of what comes next. Or maybe you’ve experienced the frustration of not getting enough attention when you need modifications for an injury, or clear instruction for alignment and breath.

For many students, this can feel intimidating—like you’re trying to “keep up” instead of truly learning and experiencing the practice in your own body.

That’s where Mysore-style Ashtanga Yoga is completely different. 🌿

✅ You move at your own pace through the sequence.
✅ Your teacher gives you one-on-one guidance, adjustments, and modifications specific to your body.
✅ Injuries, limitations, or even a brand-new practice are all supported, safely and intelligently.
✅ You’re never “behind”—you are exactly where you need to be.
✅ Over time, you build confidence, strength, and independence in your practice.

Mysore is not about blending into the group—it’s about being truly seen, supported, and guided, every step of the way.

Some students become part of the heartbeat of the Shala. 💚

Mari practices Body Mechanics with me every single week. Her dedication, consistency, and openness to the process are what make this work so powerful.

When she shared these kind words, it reminded me why I love teaching: helping people feel more at home in their bodies, supported in their healing, and confident in their strength.

Thank you, Mari, for showing up—for yourself, and for trusting me to walk beside you on this journey. 🌿

✨ If you’ve been curious about what Body Mechanics is and want to try it for yourself, we offer an Intro Special: 4 Classes for $50.

🌙 Sunday Sound Bath with Laura Daniel | 4:00 PM 🌙

Step out of the noise and into resonance. In this hour of immersive sound, crystal bowls and gentle vibration invite your breath to slow, your nervous system to soften, and your whole being to settle into deep rest.

This isn’t just relaxation—it’s restoration. As the tones wash over you, the mind quiets, the body unwinds, and spaciousness returns. No experience needed. Simply lie back, receive, and let the sound do the work.

✨ Led by Laura Daniel at The Yoga Shala (Maitland)
🕓 Sundays at 4:00 PM
