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.
