Welcome to The Yoga Shala

Orlando's Ashtanga Yoga School

We are located in the heart of Winter Park (in the Orlando area) and we offer daily yoga classes in the Traditional Ashtanga Mysore Yoga Method; the safest, most effective way to learn Ashtanga Yoga.  In Mysore style classes, Yoga students work individually with the yoga instructor to learn Ashtanga Yoga.  Building their yoga practice in a group setting, Yoga students learn Yoga postures one by one, and as each yoga posture is mastered, students will gradually build up his/her yoga primary series practice.  The focus of this individualized method is on personalized yoga instruction - imagine a private Yoga lesson in a group setting.

This method of yoga instruction is the way that yoga is taught by Shri K. Pattabhi Jois and Sharath Rangaswamy in Mysore, India and why it has come to be known as "Mysore Style" teaching.  For more information on Ashtanga Yoga please visit www.kpjayi.org . 

Practicing Yoga

Traditionally, Ashtanga Yoga is a practice that is recommended to be done daily. For busy Americans, this can be a huge commitment, but the benefits of a weekly yoga practice can spill into all areas of a yogi's life. The Yoga Shala has two levels of membership, 3 days per weekly or monthly unlimited.  As in India, students at The Yoga Shala are asked to make a monthly commitment and come to class 3-6 days each week. Click here to see our Yoga schedule and rates.  

Even if you have never practiced yoga before, or have never been to a yoga class or yoga school, The Yoga Shala is a great place to start practicing yoga. We have beginner's yoga courses that run for four weeks. Beginning yoga students work directly with our instructors until they have memorized the ashtanga primary sequence.

Understanding Mysore Yoga Classes.

In Mysore classes, unlike most yoga classes today, you work on the primary series at your own pace in order to both memorize the sequence and physically master each posture. This means that you will do your yoga practice as far as you are able, and when you reach a posture that you cannot yet master you will spend your energy on refining that yoga pose. Our yoga instructors will help you master the entire primary series in this way, working directly with you one on one.

We hope you come to The Yoga Shala to experience our traditional method of yoga instruction. Click here to learn about how to get started as a new student.
