Delray Yoga Shala offers a variety of classes, each of which are unique and accessible to all levels of practitioners - from the new and inquisitive yogi to the advanced practitioner.

We will work on flexibility, handstand techniques, alignment and how to balance with free handstand. We will work with endurance, one arm handstands, contortion shapes & conditioning exercises. David has been teaching yoga since 1990, including 13 years of continuous Mysore Style Ashtanga instruction.
Carol began her yoga journey in 1995. She spent many years teaching vinyasa yoga before being introduced to the Ashtanga yoga method. Carol felt an immediate connection to the discipline and tradition of the practice. She is committed to the practice of Ashtanga yoga as Sri K. Pattabhi Jois taught and is now taught by his grandson R. Sharath Jois.

A friend of mine introduced me to this studio, never having practiced this style of yoga before my first session I appreciated so much! It was so different from any other studio, the studio and it's teachers Carol & Val offer a really beautiful container to learn, & grow into your practice, giving AMAZING adjustments and guidance in this style of yoga for all levels. Grateful I found this studio, and this practice. <3

Bright, airy, welcoming... thank you for a wonderful ashtanga practice! Carol is a gifted instructor-knowledgeable, observant, encouraging but gentle... without a doubt the best hands on adjustments I've ever received. Everything about this place is good vibes. Bring a towel, you will definitely need to shower after the work you put in :)

Definitely need to write on top of this one start review. I've been on and off of this studio, because of work and life schedule, but I won't go anywhere unless I move from the area. The studio is neat, the teachers are amazing and caring, there is no judgement to nobody here, plus the owner does really care about the students, not only in class but outside in life. One person experience can be confused to not have connected with the practice, because it takes time. I would recommend the studio to everyone.

Best yoga studio in the area by far. All of the teachers were extremely welcoming and helpful. I took one of the mysore classes. At first I was skeptical because it isn't a totally led class, but it was incredible. I'd recommend the mysore class to everyone. It is challenging, but you can go at your own pace. What I love about ashtanga is that you are always progressing, each class you learn something new. I love how everyone there was encouraging, ego free, and non-judgemental! This place is the best!

I am grateful to have spent the first ten years of my yoga practice with Richard Freeman at his studio ,The Yoga Workshop, in Boulder, Colorado. The hardest part of moving to Florida was leaving this infamous Ashtanga yoga studio, and his teachings. Finding the Yoga Shala in Del Rey was like coming home. Thank you to Carol Diamond and her partner Tom for establishing a studio with such a high level of integrity with the ancient ashtanga yoga lineage and tradition. Carol's compassionate heart and warmth are icing on the cake. The amazing teaching staff are of the highest level of expertise and dedication

Truly the best yoga studio I've been to! The instructors are extremely welcoming (it really is a studio with a family/community feeling) and push you to your personal edge, making sure you get the most out of your practice. If you believe in "energies" this studio space had an extremely good energy. I am always motivated to do my best and leave feeling accomplished and refreshed.

My experiences at DYS all fall under major goodness . Practicing and being a student of Ashtanga Vinyasa from elevates practitioners who are student-oriented and caring professionals in a pristinely clean environment is nothing but a deeply flowing pleasure. As a new comer, complete with very challenging physical issues to overcome, I was welcomed and supported and led to advance my skill and strength at a pace that works for me. I book via MindBody. The $$ is a more than a fair exchange for the return.

Awesome. Amazing people. Ashtanga is a great practice... By practicing Ashtanga you destroy all impurities! It's basically like filling your cells with little ninjas that kick all the bad stuff out! Ashtanga will leave you feeling healthier and happier every time unlike some of the other practices it really helps you sync asanas with breathing
