I stumbled upon The Shala 15 years ago and have been practicing here ever since. The founders, Barbara and Kristen, and all of the studio's teachers, embody a unique dedication, knowledge, and compassion for their students that is unparalleled. Having practiced yoga worldwide, and I feel lucky and immensely grateful to always return to The Shala's grounding space and community.

I have been going to The Shala for three years, consistently, and if it's up to me I will be going for the rest of my life! I think of it as Ashtanga-influenced Vinyasa. They are the perfect amount of challenging (enough to feel the effects on the body, but also calming and enjoyable). The vibe is welcoming, clean, and homey. Barbara has the vibe of a solidly good, thoughtful, caring human being and is a fantastic teacher. Each teacher does it a little differently, but they still have the consistency in style you'd look for in a studio. I look forward to Ashley's Saturday class all week. I travel a lot and when I do I visit studios all over the country, and The Shala is still my favorite.

If you want to practice somewhere that has deep reverence and respect for the teachings of yoga and a strong and welcoming community, then come to the Shala. Barbara and Kristen and all of the teachers are incredibly kind, attentive and knowledgeable. I'm so grateful for this place.

I've been going to the Shala since 2012. The classes are Ashtanga influenced Vinyasa flow which provides a fantastic workout for the body. And the vibe is welcoming and warm. Barbara and Kristin have built something truly special at the Shala.

I've been going to The Shala for over a decade -- both the Union Square and the Fort Green studios. I've tried yoga studios all over NY and much of the world, and The Shala is unmatched. Even the most senior teachers remain students of the practice and bring their learning and discovery to each class. There is always something new to learn. The practice is rigorous but balanced. And every time I walk into the studio I feel like I'm going home. I can't recommend The Shala enough.

Love The Shala! The Mysore and Vinyasa classes are exceptional. The teachers are very knowledgeable, kind, and helpful and the studio is spotless and simple. Because of the above, I took a 200 hour Teacher Training at The Shala as well and that was Awesome! 5 star in my opinion.

The. Best. Yoga. An awesome variety of classes featuring friendly and knowledgeable teachers in a welcoming environment that'll kick your yoga butt (if that's what you need) or chill you out (if you need chilling). I've done yoga all over the world. This is the place I go when I'm in NYC.

The Shala has been my home for yoga for over a decade and the community has become my family. It's not clicky in any way, nor does it promote its teachers as gurus. Instead, they focus on the breath in an ashtanga and ashtanga variations asana practice, and encourage students of all levels. The teachers are knowledgeable, kind and care about creating a community.
