Namaste ~ I honor the light within you and appreciate the average 6 seconds you’ll be taking to decide if YogaHotDish is right for you!
YogaHotDish is Hatha yoga in the classical Kripalu School of lineage. We do all the major asanas (poses). The approach is safe so that the asana will have more in common w/ physical therapy than gymnastics.
I promise you won’t find the poses tedious or overwhelming because I’ll teach you how to scale and adapt. I have ALL the props: blankets, bolsters, ties, chairs, blocks, and more!
This isn’t the group-exercise-disguised-as-yoga you might be used to. You could even call YogaHotDish a meditation-practice-disguised as-exercise!
I’ll teach you how to breathe for desired outcomes (energy, relaxation) and so you can lengthen your time holding poses with the perfect combination of steadiness and ease. You’re welcome to show up and try a class anywhere, anytime. If you want a more systematic start, we are now forming a Wednesday 10 AM class for BEGINNERS and NEW STUDENTS. Details HERE.
DISCLAIMER: You may experience side-effects like clarity and confidence that have consequences including but not limited to: reading more, scrolling less, changing your hairstyle–or maybe your job, letting the laundry pile up, speaking truth to power, laughing louder, breathing fuller and living life as a Person on Purpose (POP).e

You want to stay well and not get injured so you can keep doing the things you care about and be the person you want to be — not some achy, grumpy version of your former self.
That said, you want more than watered-down fitness yoga and find yourself at a crossroads. You want a stronger more pliable body, but you’re also interested in the transformative powers that a proper, meditative practice can have on your mind and moods.

“YogaHotdish is well balanced in fundamentals, alignment and philosophy. Shaila is a compassionate, experienced and hilarious instructor.”
“Of the yoga instructors I have met, none of them has had as diverse and comprehensive a training background as Shaila. She combines Kripalu, vinyasa-lite, yin yoga, restorative yoga and smidgens of other schools to come up with hmmm, let’s see, a hotdish of styles that is still deeply grounded in yoga as meditation as well as for strengthening and flexibility. ”
“I have been doing Tuesday yoga with Shaila for 5+ years and it’s been great! I love the class and I feel that my flexibility has really improved, that’s saying a lot for a guy.”
