Perfect if you are...

“The practice does not ask you to become someone else. It gently brings you back to yourself, through the alignment of mind and body, united by the breath.”

Tap to read her story

Namaste! For over 15 years, yoga has been a guiding presence in my life. It has taught me that yoga is much more than physical movement—it is a practice of balance, awareness, and coming home to ourselves.

As a certified Yoga Alliance 200-hour teacher, I continue to deepen my knowledge through ongoing study, personal practice, and teaching. My classes honour the traditional principles of yoga while remaining welcoming and accessible to people of all ages, backgrounds, and levels of experience.

Whether you are stepping onto the mat for the first time or returning to your practice, my intention is to create a calm and supportive space where you can breathe deeply, move mindfully, and reconnect with yourself. You are warmly welcome.

Why Shahla Yoga?

Every name tells a story.

My yoga journey began with my mother, Shahla, who has been teaching yoga for many years and first introduced me to the practice. She inspired me to fall in love with yoga, and what began as a personal practice has become a lifelong journey of learning, balance, and self-discovery.

Through her kindness, wisdom, and quiet strength, she showed me that yoga is so much more than physical exercise—it is a way of living with presence, compassion, and balance.

Though we are separated by oceans, we still meet on our mats online three times a week. Sharing our practice is one of my greatest joys—a gentle reminder that yoga continues to bridge the distance between us, wherever life takes us.

In many ways, Shahla Yoga is a love letter to my mother—a celebration of the practice she shared with me, the values she lives by, and the connection we continue to nurture, one breath and one practice at a time.

As a beautiful coincidence, the Persian name Shahla evokes beauty, light, and grace. It is my wish that the spirit of this name is reflected in every class, every breath, and every step of your journey.

I'd love to hear from you. Whether you have a question about classes, bookings, or which class is right for you, please get in touch.
