Hatha Yoga Shala

When I first started going I was nervous about being in my mid 40s starting something new and almost dragged kicking and screaming by family. But I’m glad I was. Gary’s passion, patience, attention to detail and depth of knowledge make for an interesting, ever evolving, fulfilling and relaxing class (relaxing afterwards, so relaxed I float to my car and always have a great nights sleep) His customer base with many of them attending his classes for decades is a true testament to his style of teaching so if you are looking for a yoga studio to nestle into for the long haul then this is the one to go for.

I have been coming to Gary’s classes for many years (and to other teachers at Hatha Yoga Shala too). The attention to detail and deep respect for the philosophy and teachings of yoga make this such a lovely, holistic and present space. After every class I am always grateful for Gary’s teaching and kind and calming style. I feel strong, grounded and thankful.

I have recently been taking Gary's classes. I find them very therapeutic - sleeping much much better every night that I have so much energy next day. The holistic approach along with the changes in moon cycles, weathers, and seasons helps me to understand the changes in my mind and body. Highly recommend! Thank you so much!

This is such a good yoga school that I've been coming here since about 2005. Classes are targeted at different levels, and then Gary further tailors the class to the abilities of the students within it. The focus on breathing and working each part of your body means you leave feeling relaxed and so much better than when you arrived. At the same time, this yoga form builds strength and stamina, along with flexibility. A mix of women and men come to classes, demonstrating the appeal of the school and Gary's teaching ability. Highly recommended.

Gary is an experienced teacher who follows his lineage with honesty and integrity. Hatha Yoga Shala is an excellent studio for those seeking guidance in genuine yoga practice without all the jargon and fads.

As I had never tried yoga before I found Deepti to be a very thoughtful and patient teacher. Deepti asks and listens to what we want from the class, I highly recommend Deepti as a teacher for beginners and experienced yoga students

The best yoga school by far. Excellent teachers with the most in-depth knowledge of the Hatha yoga practice.
