Big news 🪷
We have a new logo, a new imprint of what the shala represents. When Austin and I first opened our Shaka in 2022 I designed the logo to represent an 8 limbed tree, with lines within it to represent prana, roots to represent lineage and leafs that could give off a sense of movement for vinyasa. The tree was held within the nurturing borders of our windows, representing the woman for yoga practice. Talented Chrissy who at the time ran Hudson Valley Naturals created this for us with great mastery :)
Fast forward to 2025, I have taken over the Shala as my own project supported by our whole community and felt that what has been created within our windows has now expanded / birthed / grown beyond those beautiful window frames. Thai expansion is seen in our practice, our sangha but also in the work the Shala is beginning to do outside of its walls as a means to take yoga off the mat and into our community. So my sister .lorenzetti created a new image for the Shala.
This new image represents a coral tree from Sicily, Italy, my home country. She came up with this herself after having followed the Shala through me closely.
The coral tree, with its vibrant red blossoms, carries a rich tapestry of spiritual meanings, including good luck, prosperity, and resilience. It is often viewed as a symbol of nature's beauty and enduring life force, capable of thriving even amidst challenges. In some cultures, it represents affectionate love and enduring connections.
More on this one our blog...
Over the course of the next two weeks, I'll be switching all over and we will soon have a new sign up - thanks to a grant from the city of Newburgh.
I hope you will love it as much as I do.
New merch coming soon🧚🪔🙏✨
