Fantastic studio and all the teachers are superb. I feel like I have learned more about yoga and proper technique in a month at The Shala than I did in two years of practicing vinyasa yoga. Laura is super encouraging and makes you feel like you can do it--she gives you confidence. The Mysore style of practicing takes a little adjusting to, but if it is for you, then it is REALLY for you. You own your practice and you don't have to wonder "Is this teacher going to be good?" "Is this class going to be hard or easy tonight?" "I wonder if we're going to do 8 side planks or a bunch of boat poses . . . I'm so not in the mood for that ..." because you always know what your practice is going to be. I'm so happy I took the plunge and went to The Shala!
