Shala is a space for community, connection, sincere practice and deep healing. It is a home for spiritual study, embodiment, and reconnecting to our hearts.

We are located at 819 Broad St. in a halcyon green bungalow. Half of Shala is dedicated to our practice space where we offer a variety of yoga and meditation classes for everyone from the beginner student to the seasoned practitioner. We also host specialized events, therapeutically-oriented as well as meditation-based private sessions, workshops, intensives and retreats at Shala and elsewhere. You can visit our class descriptions, our schedule and our rates to figure out where you fit in. We also have an archive of On-Demand recorded classes available for monthly subscription for when you’re on the road or just can’t make it in-person.

Reach out if you’d like to be on our email list and keep up, or just for some personalized guidance at any step along the way.

The other half of Shala is made up of offices occupied by a variety of highly skilled practitioners offering various body work, health and wellness modalities as well as other work. They operate their own schedule and businesses privately. Here are the body workers at Shala; you can reach out to them directly:

Shala is not a yoga studio in the contemporary sense. You will not find substitute teachers or class packages at Shala. No quick exits from class to make space for the next group to rush in. And on rare occasion, Mira and Jarret will travel and classes will go on a brief pause. So if you’re coming to Shala from a more traditional studio model, know that we see and feel you reorienting to be a part of this community and space.

The direct translation of shala in Sanskrit is “home” or you could say, “your abode.” Within the context of yoga, a “shala” is a space where a community gathers to be in practice together. A Shala should be welcoming and feel like home. It’s a space to be respected and where the community is honored. When you are a part of Shala, you are a part of a heart community (kula) and a spiritual home.

We look forward to practicing with you!
