The classes are well-paced and thoughtfully designed, with just the right balance of challenge and relaxation. I always leave feeling refreshed, stronger, and more centered. The space itself is clean, calming, and beautifully set up, which makes the whole experience even better.“

“Walking into Pacific Ashtanga yoga shala feels like stepping into a space where tradition, discipline, and genuine community all come together in a powerful way.

What sets this shala apart is Diana (owner) and its deep respect for the integrity of the Ashtanga lineage while still making the practice accessible and welcoming. The teaching is precise, intentional, and rooted in a real understanding of breath, bandha, and drishti, not just going through the motions, but guiding students toward a more meditative and transformative experience.

The Mysore-style environment is especially exceptional. There’s a quiet energy in the room, focused, supportive, and deeply personal. Each student is met exactly where they are, with thoughtful adjustments and guidance that feel both safe and elevating. You can tell the teachers are not just instructors, but dedicated practitioners who embody what they teach.

Beyond the physical practice, there’s a strong sense of sangha. Whether you’re new to Ashtanga or have been practicing for years, you feel welcomed into something meaningful, a space that encourages consistency, humility, and growth.

If you’re looking for a place to deepen your practice, build discipline, and connect to something more than just a workout, this shala is truly special.“

“My experience has always been positive, and I’ve consistently felt encouraged to go at my own pace. I remember feeling intimidated my first time, but after a few classes I truly started to feel at home. The instructors are genuinely welcoming and supportive, creating a space that feels safe and inclusive. I recommend trying classes with all of the instructors they each bring their own unique gifts and perspectives to the practice.“
