The Shala School of Yoga

Often used to mean well-structured – peak pose, preparation, counterpose, the architecture of a class.

That's definitely part of it. But intelligent sequencing also asks: intelligent for whom, on what day, toward what? A sequence that's beautifully planned out in your notebook can land badly in a room of frayed bodies on a gloomy evening in February.

The intelligence isn't only in the structure, it's also in the reading of who's actually in front of you, and the willingness to adjust. We need structure and we need planning in teaching yoga, but we also need flexibility and adaptability.

Our 200 and 300 hour programmes covers the architecture of how to build a class, but more than that, it's about learning to teach the class the room actually needs.

What if every Yoga Nidra you guided had its own unique intention?

There comes a point for every teacher where it's no longer just about *what* you teach, but how* you teach.

Beyond Asana – The Inner Path of Teaching Yoga is designed to help you deepen and refine how you teach yoga, and reconnect with purpose. From holding space and authentic expression to ethics, dharma, boundaries, recognising cultural bias and so much more, this core 300-hour module invites you to reevaluate your how* and fundamentally evolve as a teacher.

The phrase tends to land in one of two places: dismissed as metaphor, or treated as literal anatomy with chakras mapped onto organs.

We view the subtle body as a framework — koshas, nadis, vayus, chakras — developed over centuries to describe experiences that practitioners kept having and needed language for. It's not tangible anatomy. It's also not nothing. It's a map of inner experience, and like any map, its usefulness is in whether it can help you find your way.

On the 300-hour we explore these frameworks, where they come from, what they're useful for, and where their edges are. This allows you to teach from them without overstating what they are, and without diluting what they offer.
