The Yoga Shala, an Ashtanga Yoga studio in beautiful Winter Park, Florida (near Orlando and its College Park area), was established from a passion to give yoga to the world and connect people with a true yogic lineage. It continues to grow in response to members of our community who find [Ashtanga] yoga to be intimidating yet intriguing, and want to be included in its many healing benefits. Our goal is to foster a lighthearted, non-dogmatic, warm and encouraging environment, free of competition and expectations to fit within the westernized mold of yoga. We aim to provide the highest quality yoga instruction in our yoga studio, and ensure that it is accessible to all, regardless of experience. Our highly-knowledgeable teachers focus on individual instruction through one-on-one attention, encouragement and personalized adjustments. Their skill, passion for their students, and personal appreciation for the gifts of yoga create the unique environment that is the foundation of our community.
