Yoga Shala

Yoga Instructor

The Ashtanga Yoga system in its pure form has been handed down, developed and refined by Sri K. Pattabhi Jois and R. Sharath Jois of Mysore, India at the KPJAYI. We believe that the Ashtanga system provides the most thorough practice for the body, mind and spirit with its emphasis on breath and mental concentration. This combination creates an internal fire (Agni) that purifies and heals the body from inside out.

With practice and dedication it becomes a moving meditation. As one's practice deepens, this system of yoga can lead to personal transformation and a deeper and joyful sense of self. It is a dynamic practice of systematized movements synchronized with the breath and focusing on a gazing point. At Yoga Shala, as students of our main teachers: Sharath and Tim Miller, and with multiple visits by teachers like Kino MacGregor and Tim Feldman, we have developed the experience to teach within Parampara (the direct and unbroken transmission of knowledge from a teacher to his or her student). We give you the tools to for you to learn and establish self-discipline and develop a love for yoga that will last the rest of your life. Read more

    For my first time ever at yoga...I give it 5 stars because the event was free and tailored for all levels. The vibe was awesome and the instructors were very helpful! They also served free snacks and refreshments at the event and there was no pressure to sign up immediately...it was more about getting a feel for the experience and quite informative!

    I took my first class at Yoga Shala 2 years ago and now I'm in their yoga teacher training program. So much growth happens at the Shala if you allow it. I recommend this studio for everyone! Yoga is for EVERY body!

    Yoga Shala is a wonderfully inviting and clean studio of friendly and knowledgeable teachers. There are many different levels of classes offered and fun workshops. The classes I attend are Ashtanga based Led classes and Mysore Independent practice. I enjoy the hands on adjustments and I always learn something new every time I go. I recommend this place of business to anyone interested in expanding their yoga practice.

    Ana is encouraging, Charles can read your mood and Lisa is strong and compassionate. They give terrific adjustments and support; and these are authentic, focused, groovy people. I feel like I am home when walking into the yoga room. Wish it was centrally located, as that Stone Oak area is often congested.
