Yoga your way
Yoga on demand. When you want it. Where you want. Yes please. The Shala Yoga Studio recently launched SA’s first on demand yoga app … a platform which aims to make the transformative practice of yoga accessible to everyone, anywhere, at any time.
Shala refers to a yoga studio or dedicated space for you to practice … it’s a Sanskrit word meaning house or home. And The Shala, founded by Tamsin and Thomas Sheehy, is a massively popular yoga studio in Cape Town … but with the launch of the app, we can now join the classes online. There’s a great range of options, led by highly trained and passionate instructors, each with their unique teaching styles and specialties. You can access a variety of classes designed to cater to all levels, from beginners to advanced, allowing for a personalised experience that supports individual growth and transformation.
The app is designed not only for yoga practice but also as a resource for mindfulness and holistic living. So you’ll find curated content that encourages a lifestyle steeped in wellness, compassion, and self-awareness.
Details: You’ll find the Shala Yoga app on the Apple App Store or Google Play Store, R100 for a one week subscription, R240 for a month or R2400 for a year.
