SHALA Ashtanga Yoga Centre is situated on 102th Street, in the heart of Downtown Edmonton. We respectfully acknowledges that we are located in Treaty 6 Territory, the traditional land of diverse Indigenous Peoples including the Plains Cree, Woodland Cree, Beaver Cree, Nitsitapi/Blackfoot, Métis, Nakota Sioux, Anishinaabe/Saulteaux/Ojibwe and Dene Peoples. We also acknowledge the many Indigenous, Inuit and Métis people who make Alberta their home today.
Shala Ashtanga Yoga Centre is dedicated to the tradition and evolution of Ashtanga Yoga as it moves into a new era. It is important for us to not perpetuate the guru pop culture but instead to be true to the lineage and empower all students and offer them a space that they can truly call home. We aim to help you make this practice a part of your life.
"The full Ashtanga system practiced with devotion, leads to freedom in one’s heart."
Sri K. Pattabi Jois, Yoga Journal 1995
Thank you to the City of Edmonton and everyone who joined us in bringing life into the downtown parks all summer long - through the cold and rain we did it!!!

The 90s Yoga Pass
30 Days for $30
The time when the internet made that dial-up noise, music came on CDs, and yoga was still underground?
Back in the 90s, Ashtanga was finding its way into Canada. Studios were small, communities were tight, and you had to seek out the practice. Lululemon was making yoga pants for actual yogis. Madonna and Sting were rolling out their mats. And somewhere, someone was rewinding their David Swenson VHS for the hundredth time, trying to figure out the jump-through.
Before wellness became a corporate empire. Before influencer yoga, puppy yoga, and $150 matching sets. There was just the practice.
And honestly? There was something pretty great about that.
So, students, consider this your throwback.
Whether you're discovering yoga for the first time, looking for something beyond the gym, or simply trying to make your student budget stretch a little further, we've got you.
For $30, you get 30 days to explore the practice at Shala. Come breathe, move, learn something about yourself, and meet a few good humans along the way.
No experience necessary. No need to be flexible. No fancy gear required. And definitely no need to have your life figured out.
We're a traditional Ashtanga yoga shala with a down-to-earth community, a practice with roots, and room for you to find your own way in.
30 days. $30. Student budget. Old-school yoga.
Bring in or email us your valid student ID, leave the pressure at the door, and come see what the fuss was about.
Before yoga was a trend, it was a practice. Come try it for yourself.

New to yoga, or looking for a place to begin?
Session start dates: First Monday of the month, ongoing.
This four-week introductory series offers a welcoming and supportive way to learn the foundations of yoga while getting to know the different practices offered at the Shala.
The series is taught by two teachers, bringing together perspectives from both Ashtanga and Hatha Yoga. Each teacher will share their own approach to movement, breath, alignment, and awareness, giving you an opportunity to experience how these practices can support and complement one another.
Over the four weeks, we will explore foundational yoga postures, breath practices, mindful movement, and the principles that help create a sustainable and meaningful practice. There will be time to ask questions, learn how to work with your individual body, and become more comfortable in a yoga class setting.
This is a great starting place if you are completely new to yoga, returning after some time away, or simply want to develop a stronger foundation before joining our regular classes. From here, you can continue your exploration through our Ashtanga and Hatha classes, finding the practices that resonate with you.
The series is pre-registered for four weeks to create consistency and community within the group. Drop-ins may be available when the series is running and space allows.
A monthly unlimited pass is available for registrants for $60 to use during/ after your intro month
