We welcome beginners!

Never did yoga before? Come to AOP Shala and we will show you how we teach students who either never practiced yoga before, or who are more familiar with other styles. We are happy to teach you the Ashtanga Yoga Primary Series (and eventually the other series).

Members and Non-members are always welcome! Email us with any questions that you have.

We offer Monthly Memberships (members have access to most of our class offerings), and drop-in rates.

Also, check out our new monthly student special!
