The Yoga Shala शाला

is based in Leith, Edinburgh.

It’s a studio where yoga is practiced from the heart and led with authenticity. The Sanskrit word Shala means home, and the studio’s ethos centres around fostering and nurturing that sense of belonging for students and teachers of all experiences. A place to come home to your practice, where the rich traditions of yoga sit at its core, through physical and philosophical practices.

At The Yoga Shala we offer different styles of practice and movement, for all levels of experience. Including Hatha, vinyasa flow, yin yoga, pilates, restorative yoga and nidra, nurturing total beginners to the practice, to experience and established students with tailored intermediate asana practices. We also hold space for regular soundbaths, meditation sessions, courses and workshops.

The Practice

Our yoga practice is a gift. It brings us focus, awareness, patience and mindfulness while on the mat. The importance of this practice is to carry this state of being with us when we leave the mat.
