+ I am new to yoga- which class should I try first?

We encourage new students who do not have any movement or medical issues to try all of our classes. Come daily and sample all of them! Anyone who needs extra attention, we strongly recommend private sessions. Learn more here 🙂

All of our classes are beginner friendly and available for all levels of practitioners. We are a hot far infrared studio and many of our classes are heated and hot. These classes are great for beginners, especially our hot 26 & 2 classes. These classes are always the same so that you learn from repetition and each posture can be made accessible for all levels. Our non Heated beginner class is a nice way to focus on a few postures and learn simple flow technique so that you can fine tune your practice.

If you need something on the gentle side, try Beginner Yoga, Yin Yoga, Slow Flow, Yoga for Stress & Sound Healing, Yin and our Sadhana and meditate classes.

As a beginner, remember that it takes time to build a practice, pace yourself in class and rest whenever needed; try committing to at least 5 classes a week for your first month because this will acclimate you to the heat (come every day if you can!). This will create a strong physical base along with an intellectual understanding of the postures and breathing techniques to build upon. When you’re ready, you can increase the intensity and build strength, focus, and flexibility in all the classes.

Shala Living Yoga classes are designed for ALL levels of yoga students. We are here to support you and eager to set you up for success on your yoga mat.

+ How do I get to Shala, where do I park and what are your safety procedures??

Our address is 412 W Boone Ave, Spokane WA 99202. Please arrive no earlier than 15 minutes before class and please try to be here 5 minutes before class starts. Do not arrive late as we will lock the door once class starts.

TO ENTER: When you arrive, park in the designated spots only, or on a side street. Make sure that you park in the appropriate spaces because we do not want to have to ask you to move your car during class or worse, see your car get towed. Please see map below for parking.

We clean and disinfect between each class.

Practice community care and mindfulness. If you have been recently exposed to a virus, please do not come until you know you won't spread any illness. Please do not come to the studio at all if you are sick.
