Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga (The Shala)

Namaste and welcome to The Shala, an oasis of tranquility and tradition in the heart of our bustling city. Since its inception in 2004, The Shala Ashtanga Vinyasa Yogashala has embraced students from all walks of life, fostering a community bound by the timeless practices of Yoga. Inspired by the teachings of Shri T. Krishnamacharya, The Shala provides a deeply personalized approach, ensuring each practice aligns with individual needs and capacities.

At The Shala, the focus is on harmonizing breath with movement, guiding students towards a profound awareness of their bodies and a deeper understanding of their practice. Through this synchrony, practitioners not only refine their physical postures but also cultivate mindfulness that extends into daily life. The environment is designed to support this journey, offering both in-person and online classes in a serene, aesthetically pleasing space.

For those looking to delve deeper, The Shala presents the 100-hour Introduction to Yoga Studies - Level 1 program. This course, spread across weekends from March to July, provides a comprehensive foundation in Yoga philosophy, fundamental asanas, and associated anatomy. Additional short-term workshops and weekend programs are also available to cater to the diverse needs of our community.

Beyond asanas, The Shala enriches its offerings with Yoga classes for children, Vedic chanting sessions, and unique events like the Mysore Style Ashtanga Yoga retreats. Under the expert guidance of Srimathy Ravi Swamy and Ravi, both seasoned practitioners and diligent students of Yoga philosophies, each session promises an insightful experience, blending tradition with modern bio-mechanical efficiency.
