Services
Our building HVAC system has been upgraded to MERV-13 filters, which provide a very high level of particulate and bacterial filtration. All class passes expire within 6 months, except for one month passes which expire 30 days from date of purchase. Are you in pain or dealing with a serious injury or medical issue?
Some therapeutic needs can be handled in general classes, as our teachers have extensive training in how to adapt poses for common problems. For students dealing with more complicated challenges, we offer therapeutic private lessons with our teachers who have more advanced training. We will contact you as soon as possible to discuss the best way for you to begin yoga.

Yoga Shala has become my second home. I love coming to classes every day. The room is filled with light and has amazing views of the Flatirons. Tam and Octavia, the owners, are among the kindest people I know. They are very knowledgeable and so intentional in dealing with each ones needs, at the same time that they are always introducing new challenges for us students. All the other teachers are also very well trained and hold the standards for this beautiful practice. I have learned a lot and deeply appreciate this school.

My wife and I have been going to Yoga Shala for 3 years - starting before we moved to Boulder. We are long term Iyengar students and find the instruction and classes with all of the teachers at Yoga Shala excellent. Maybe it is a slight exaggeration to say we would not have moved to Boulder without Tam and Octavia to mentor us in our practice.

Yoga Shala is my home away from home. The teachers are very knowledgeable and professional. The classes are always interesting and well-prepared. The studio is exceptional, with a nice reception area, ample props, beautiful views and free parking. The quality of instruction and the warm friendliness of the teachers have created a challenging, yet nurturing atmosphere where students safely progress in their practice of Iyengar yoga.

Lisa Jo, Angie, Octavia and Tam are the only teachers I have had the pleasure to learn from so far at the Yoga Shala. Each is uniquely gifted in their ability to teach clearly, with vigor, kindness and therapeutic finesse to guide students in the most inspiring way. World class comes to mind for me. And we are beyond blessed to have this caliber of teaching in our own Colorado backyard.

All the teachers are truly amazing and knowledgeable, To be a great teacher you really have to know what you are doing before you can teach others and they do! They are so knowledgeable. I'm beyond impressed, And I love that Iyengar yoga focuses on alignment and structure. Most importantly how it makes me feel in my body.

Lisa Jo Landsberg, an instructor at the Yoga Shala, is an outstanding yoga teacher because her students are the focus of every one of her classes. She choreographs her classes based on their needs. She also skillfully adapts yoga poses to help her students with their health issues. I rode my bike to one of her class which caused tingling in both of my hands. After class the tingling disappeared and stayed away during the entire bike ride home. Devoted to living as a yogi off of her mat, Lisa Jo inspires others by weaving yoga philosophy into her life and the poses she teaches.
