Great classes, kind and encouraging instructors, and wonderful community. I've seen amazing progress in my yoga, body, and mental health.

My first time to Yoga Shala and I really enjoyed it. Lila was a great teacher and really helpful with instruction and assistance if needed. Honestly, all of the staff were very kind and the ambience was warm and inviting. Ashtanga yoga may not be for everyone but I liked it and would love to return! read more

See all

I really learned a lot and appreciated the attention to detail in all the poses! Will definitely be back!

Great yoga training at participants pace also all instructors are knowledgeable in yoga poses.

It's been years since I've stepped foot into a studio and then it was vinyasa, rarely ashtanga. But my experience was fantastic!! I loved how welcoming everyone was and the instructor was wonderful and so helpful. I'll definitely be back! read more

Best yoga in San Antonio! Great for beginners! Different classes for all levels of yoga and the staff was super helpful, caring, and kind.

The teachers at Yoga Shala are excellent. Because they are so experienced, they can help you find alternate poses if you can't quite get the target pose. They're very encouraging and will physically help you reach the target pose if you want. I always leave feeling calm and stronger. read more

I was in San Antonio only for a couple days. Found this Ashtanga studio. It's so beautifully decorated & clean. I signed up for 8am Mysore Ashtanga class w/Ana. She is amazing, just what I was looking for. Loved her personality and gentle adjustments. She teaches traditional ashtanga and makes u feel comfortable. I can't wait to return. read more

The level of understanding and engagement by the instructor who did a phenomenal job in explaining the breathwork, poses, and what each were working within our mind and body read more

I like the ambiance, the teacher (Christy), the studio, the half series Ashtanga class, the hands on modifications, and the special initial/first class rate. I plan to return to practice the primary series on a regular basis. read more

The wonderfully supportive and encouraging teachers and friendly members of Yoga Shala are by far the best. Highly recommend coming in and trying a class...but be prepared to never want to go anywhere else again....I am definitely hooked. read more

Yoga Shala - Yoga Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

YSSA offers an awesome community for ashtangis: great teachers, awesome space, and workshops. Well worth getting to know!

YSSA is a beautiful ashtanga yoga community of shared discipline and sincere encouragement. Students and teachers rejoice in each other's accomplishments and provide kind support along the journey. Yoga Shala is an environment that invites you to come home to your unique soul! read more

Love it here!! I've been coming here for years and love the ashtanga classes taught by Ana or Alejandro. I have my own studio, but when I want to be a student, I come here. read more

It's not a perfect experience for a first-time practitioner, but it was a pretty good first impression. I took 1 out of 10 away for what I perceived as a semi lack of personal warmth. Maybe it's the type of yoga, not the shala itself, so weigh my comments with that in mind. As far as the yoga itself, it was a great experience with a competent instructor with a very attentive assistant to make sure I understood finer aspects of the asanas. I'd def go back. read more

Yoga Shala isn't your typical Vinyasa, flow style, easy breezy yoga class offered at most gyms. This is a serious yoga studio with a room that can fit roughly 10 people working with hands on instructors that really help you sit further into poses than you ever thought possible. I've done just one class but I am looking forward to going back and doing some more intense training. This class (for beginners) was NOT for the weak, I am sore and maintain that I'm a fairly healthy person.. If you are serious about yoga and you are looking for hands on correction for poses, this is the place to go. If you have never taken a yoga class before, this may not be the best place to start as they move very quickly, but after one class, I can already tell this place will whip you into shape fairly quickly. read more

Top notch service and welcoming environment. I go here for my regular massages and it's a heaven sent. Relives my back pain better than any where else I've tried. I'd love to go try a Yoga class too. read more

It was my first time here enrolled in the community course and I was impressed with the experience I had. Our teacher was Marisa and we were her very first class. She doesn't make you feel intimidated and she's great at adjustments. The rooms are a bit small compared to other yoga places I've been to but it was weirdly comforting being in a small space practicing yoga. You really feel the energy in there. I couldn't have chosen a better way to spend my Sunday. read more

Yoga Shala is a wonderful studio with incredible instructors that are knowledgeable and friendly. They have classes everyday at different times and that is very helpful for those like me on a crazy work schedule. The new location is beautiful and cozy. Ashtanga has truly been a great fuel of transformation in my life and I am grateful for this Shala in helping me achieve the benefits of this practice! read more

The teacher leads the practice as close as the true Ashtanga practice is from India and the studio's environment is clean, peaceful and friendly. read more

The shala is such a gem. Love the teachers here, they know what they're talking about and will push and guide you in your practice.

Great studio! Our instructor had a great balance of helping offer us beginners options/blocks/straps and made us feel very welcome and comfortable, while still maintaining a challenging class for the obviously more experienced attendees. read more

Plenty of great class options, peaceful atmosphere, beautiful studio, fantastic instructors. Was my first time doing yoga in a studio and I absolutely loved it! They were all so welcoming and I will definitely be back! read more

This is a great place to regenerate the body and mind. It is always a positive experience to work with Anna and the rest of the team. I highly recommend that you try to learn the practice at Any age. As Anna says practice practice and all will come. read more

For my first time ever at yoga...I give it 5 stars because the event was free and tailored for all levels. The vibe was awesome and the instructors were very helpful! They also served free snacks and refreshments at the event and there was no pressure to sign up immediately...it was more about getting a feel for the experience and quite informative! read more

In my rebirth.. because we go through so many... atleast I have. Yoga Shala has now become three shala's in town that I have utter respect for. Many yogi's were in shock that I could even like this studio given Ashtangi's are known as being ego driven. I a fool and not a big deal attitude.. actually known for easily entertained. In doing my teacher training here in Vinyasa, I have been able to have the opportunity to get to know people. That ego that was misunderstood was actually a more disciplined practice than mine, that when it comes to the practice they are just so much more serious students. Its not that I am not a serious student, its just they are really serious. Though this doesn't make them better and me less. Its just they are serious. I practiced at Two Hearts then grew to AC Power Yoga with Amanda and now my journey has taken me to Rossella with Yoga Shala. This is what Yoga has become for me, teachers teaching me in different areas of my practice. If you want to be serious in your practice This is the place for you. I will tell you to love Rossella but please don't take advanced classes when we know that you hardly do yoga and don't even know where to begin. There is no shame in beginners class and work your way to the advanced classes. For those looking to be a yoga instructor I highly recommend learning from her. She is an amazing teacher. http://www.yoganutritionlife.com her website I posted GOOD FOR KIDS? NO! this isn't a daycare and nor should anyone have to understand you have kids. I bring my 12 year old because he actually does yoga with me and well behaved. I don't know the age requirement for a child to able to be in class with you but please don't assume and I think we both know how our kids are, if they aren't mature enough or respectful of other's space... um... wait till school season starts and go while your kids are in school... don't take it personally that I stated that.. I feel the same way about kids going to the movies and I gotta feel them kicking my seat behind me and you get mad that I asked you to make your kids to stop.... read more

I'm a beginner to yoga and decided to try Yoga Shala.Took my first class with Instructor Ingrid Crawley. One thing I loved about her class was the confirmation/physical correcting I recieved on my form. Doing recreational yoga at my gym off and on, I never had the opportunity to work on my breathing, focus, or even know what clarity was. Last night I took Carl Lobitz's class which was more advanced but completely inspired me to want to know what being is all about. Like Ingrid, Carl instructs, corrects, and yoga besides you. Both instructors are great, two different styles ard both have a real passion for yoga; and I truly appreciate the vibrations of the room. I can't wait till I see and feel it. I'm already improving in my yoga and will continue to attend Yoga Shala. Great people, comes highly recommended! read more

Ana is encouraging, Charles can read your mood and Lisa is strong and compassionate. They give terrific adjustments and support; and these are authentic, focused, groovy people. I feel like I am home when walking into the yoga room. Wish it was centrally located, as that Stone Oak area is often congested. read more

Been coming for over two and a half years now. The transformation has been amazing. When I look back I never thought I could see myself doing the poses I can do now. I needed recreation in my life and this is where I started. Since I started coming here I have been living a very active and fulfilling life. I am in the best shape of my life. I have made good friends here and I look forward to next practice! read more

This place is a wonderful studio with great teachers and a strong community. The ashtanga here is fantastic and the owner is a true yogi. I practice here as frequently as possible. read more

Helps keep me calm, love the staff. Friendly, helpful, no judgments!

This is the review for Thursday 9am Anusara Inspired Vinyasa with Tia. A Star for studio which is very nice and clean. A Star for manager who is very responsive. No Star for the heart of the business, the yoga instructor. The instructor talked a lot with the clients about their private life during the class and the conversation was going on and on till the class was done. All my group including myself had a hard time to focus on practicing. They talked about restaurants, traveling, crashing on guys, where to eat for happy hour etc. This is not a Salon. It's the yoga studio. I expect professional manner from $15 drop in price. My girl said the music was not peaceful. At least instructor remember to change to yoga peaceful song almost at the corpse pose. read more

I dropped in for 2 classes (Ashtanga Led Primary and Ashtanga Improv) at Yoga Shala while visting family in San Antonio. The teachers were fantastic - professional and extremely knowledgeable. Classes were challenging and enjoyable. Its obvious that the studio has created a tight-knit, committed yoga community. As far as I could tell, its the only studio that teaches Ashtanga in SA. I will definitely take more classes there when I come back to town. read more

Yoga Shala is one of my favorite places to be in San Antonio. The teachers are incredible--so knowledgable & so friendly. Don't be intimidated if you're a beginner...they are SO welcoming. I had been doing physical therapy on my back for months after an accident with little results, but, after a few classes at Yoga Shala, my back is in line with no pain. I couldn't make this shit up; give it a try! Your body will thank you. read more

Fantastic Yoga studio. Visiting San Antonio from Seattle needing a yoga fix. Staying downtown so this yoga studio was a bit of a drive, but it was worth it. The staff was incredible (Charles) and the vinyasa instructor (Lisa) was fantastic. The studio was nicely decorated and comfortable and the space was relaxing. read more

I've been a regular at Yoga Shala for over 1 1/2 years and love it! The instructors are dedicated yogi's and wonderful. I focus on the Ashtanga morning classes (led primary series, improv & mysore) as well as the vinyasa classes and haven't been disappointed. I learn something new almost every time I'm there. This is definitely a place where you can push your edges and grow in your yoga practice. read more

Had never used this studio before, but made arrangements to meet some out of town friends at this studio based on reviews. The inside was tastefully decorated and had a lovely water feature. There was a nice, clean bathroom for changing and shelves for shoes and such. The classroom was very cramped. There were 8 people plus the instructor and it was very difficult not to hit one another. The room was right by the front door which was a bit distracting as people filtered in and out of the studio since our door was left open until the cool down at the end. The instructor and "regulars" spent the entire class chit-chatting about their personal lives which was a bit off putting. I thought the poses were fine for the level of the class. Music was modern rock rather than soothing music which can turn some people off. I didn't mind it up until savasana, then it became distracting. Luckily, the instructor eventually turned it down. read more
