Welcome to the Shala

all our classes are now held at our Clapham studio

Tucked away in Clapham North just a stone's throw from the tube and overground, The Shala is a warm, peaceful and intimate space in which to explore and deepen your yoga practice. The Shala translates as "a place of spiritual practice".

Founded in 1998 and run by Gingi Lee – one of the most established ashtanga yoga teachers in the country – the centre has had a loyal following of students for over a decade. It continues to be a place of self-exploration and healing with a strong sense of community. Gingi and the Shala team of yoga teachers all share a deep love and respect for the yoga and have a passion for sharing their knowledge. They create a warm and supportive environment in which to enhance physical, emotional and spiritual well-being.
