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.
Shala membership
━
We want Shala to be a home, as inferred by its name. A place where yogis feel not only a deep sense of comfort but a sense of ownership and a sense of deep belonging. It’s been our experience that to truly unfurl from the inside out, we need support from our community and a place that feels safe, encouraging, with the resounding warmth of home. If you join Shala with a membership, and practice just once a week, you’ll find that your pricing winds up being less per class compared to the local yoga economy. At twice a week, even lower. This payment structure goes farther to support Shala both by generating upfront support of ongoing costs, and also by creating a sense of ownership for us all. If none of that feels congruent to you, drop-in pricing is always available! THIS IS AN AUTO-RENEWING MEMBERSHIP UNTIL IT IS CANCELLED.
— Member pricing for all drop in classes
— Member pricing for all class packages
— Member pricing for all workshops and special programs like Meditation Club, the Maha, weekend programs, etc.
— Includes access to the Video Library

The other half of shala
━
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:
Tara Bianca Rado (Durham Integrative Health and Acupuncture Center)

Jeff Brown (Integrative Touch Therapy)

Chris Williams (New Roots Therapy - Psychotherapy)

Ashlee Cooper (Psychotherapist)

Shala is not a yoga studio in the contemporary sense. You will not find a bustling schedule or substitute teachers 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 modern yoga 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 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 offerings, our schedule and our pricing to figure out where you fit in. We also have an archive recorded classes in a Video Library 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.
We look forward to practicing with you!
