Welcome to the Monkey Yoga Shala website.

We offer daily yoga classes in Ashtanga,
Isometric Ashtanga, and Vinyasa styles.

New students can enjoy our introductory special of unlimited classes with Tim and Laura for 30 days for 30 dollars. What a deal! That means that you can take almost 60 classes in those 30 days if you do 3 classes a day some days. So far the record is 23 classes in 30 days. This is your challenge, should you choose to accept it. :-)
