Edinburgh’s newest yoga and movement studio. A place where yoga is practiced from the heart, led with authenticity and always striving to create community, support and inclusivity.
The word Shala means home in Sanskrit, and this new practice space has been created to embody and nurture all aspects of the yoga practice, and all levels of experience.
A place where the rich traditions of yoga sit at its core, through the physical practices and philosophical ones too.
The Practice
-
These practices focus on continual fluid movement between the asanas and the breath, creating a focus and calm space for the mind.
Expect a challenging practice, with more strength based postures incl arm balances and inversions.
-
Embodying all aspects of yoga, breath, awareness and focus. These practices are created by our facilitators, who each bring a different energy and personality to practice.
The focus in these classes will be a little slower, with less vinyasa and more observational movement and yoga practices.
-
This class is a combination of led movement and self practice.
For the first half of practice, the teacher will lead you through pranayama and vinyasa practice.
For the second half of practice, the teacher will then move around the space helping you and the other students with individual yoga practice.
-
Our postnatal yoga classes provide an opportunity to stretch, restore balance, and relieve tension. The classes focus on mindful breathing and yoga poses to strengthen the abdomen and pelvic floor and, most importantly, rejuvenate your energy.
It's a nurturing practice encouraging postural awareness and supporting inner pelvic health, leaving you feeling revitalised and ready to take on the day.
-

-
Exploring body awareness through gentle somatic vinyasa movement, and the stillness of yin. Energising stagnant areas of the body by focusing on the internal sensations rather than the external appearances.

-
Give yourself permission to rest. Our floor based practices are assisted with blankets, yoga props and gentle lighting to create a quiet mind. An opportunity to surrender into rest and cultivate a sense of calm.
