ABOUT SHAILA

Trained in the Good Ol' Days
A Globally Informed Yoga Style
Shaila first studied yoga and meditation while living in Singapore and Japan. Kripalu, Sivananda, and Iyengar influences somehow get thrown together in a Santa Barbara secret sauce. Sprinkle in modern best practices to ensure safety along with the latest research and you get a slow-cooked…HotDish. YogaHotDish is currently served in North Oaks, Arden Hills and Falcon Heights, Minnesota to anyone curious enough to show up!
Small Classes for Better Practice
With class sizes topping out around 12, you’ll be surrounded by the same committed people every week, so you’ll grow together, in true community. Newsflash: classes with a revolving door of drop-ins and teachers don’t progress. They give the illusion of mastery through repetitive sequences, but you really don’t understand the concepts and how to apply them more broadly.
Down to Earth Yoga
Shaila isn’t a Buddhist or a Hindu, just a St. Olaf Grad with Lutheran roots who started studying yoga and meditation while living in Asia. She then trained with leading teachers in California and Massachusetts — and knows how to throw a Hot Dish together! You won’t find any chanting or new-age assumptions about energy, chakras or astrology. What you will find is peace, quiet and clarity.


The Yoga HotDish recipe is an eclectic blend of classical yoga and modern best practices.
No cutting corners: no quickie classes, dumbing it down or new-aging it up. You will "confront the quiet" and "move into stillness" for a work-in that will have you more relaxed from day-one so a calmer, more mindful you can shine through.

The Yoga HotDish recipe is an eclectic blend of classical yoga and modern best practices.
No cutting corners: no quickie classes, dumbing it down, new-aging it up, or converting you to Hinduism.

45-min / 1 hour classes are fine for fitness yoga. There’s so much more to yoga than asana–why not see what you’re missing? Besides, you can do both 😉
