  Shala Yoga is incredible. The teachers are outstanding. If you want real yoga with a spiritual practice this is the place to be. I have taken several classes now and every teacher has their own vibe and a deep yogi practice of devotion. The fact that they have donation classes everyday is seva. I am so grateful this space exists.. Thank you.
