The Shala

The Shala - Cape Town Yoga School, is a safe, inclusive and sacred space to explore the practice of yoga in the beautiful city of Cape Town. Our team of highly skilled teachers offer classes, courses and workshops to all levels of yoga students, both in-studio and online. The Shala specialises in registered 200 and 300 hour yoga teacher training programmes, and provides ongoing education and mentoring for yoga teachers.

We aim to create an individual experience for each student. Our classes build strength, mobility and flexibility through effective body alignment and intelligent sequencing. We focus on finding balance between traditional yoga philosophy and modern anatomical study including the muscular, skeletal, nervous, endocrine and lymphatic systems.

Our studio is housed in an elegant heritage building on Dunkley Square in the vibrant Gardens area of Cape Town. We offer changing rooms, shower facilities, a comfortable lounge area, and a beautiful yoga studio with high ceilings and vintage wooden floors. Every detail of this unique space has been created with care and intention. The interior is designed by Envy and Co to provide a connection to the environment and to the individual. The walls are decorated with local artists including Robyn Denny, Kathy Robins, Jennifer Morrison and Tanya Bonello.

The Shala also offers the highest quality online classes, allowing you to practice from the comfort of your own home. New classes are recorded and added to our library weekly.
