Welcome to OM yoga shala. To a yogi, no symbol is more powerful than the syllable OM, as witnessed by these words from the Mandukya UP-anishad: “OM: this eternal word is all; what was, what is and what shall be.” Our mission at OM yoga shala is to promote health and overall wellness, enabling people to restore harmony and live a balanced, more authentic life.
Whether your focus is on a specific health condition, lifestyle and stress-management or to unite, harmonizing mind, body and spirit – our classes, programs and services are your answer to achieving that balanced lifestyle.

"As an avid and experienced tennis player, I wanted to thank OM Yoga Shala
for the amazing Ashtanga Yoga classes. I have found my practice of
Ashtanga at the Shala to perfectly complement my tennis. Yoga has improved my core
strength, balance, mental calmness, and flexibility, all areas crucial to
tennis. I highly recommend the Ashtanga program at the Shala, simply amazing."
-Renzo Francotto,
Student
