Yoga Shala West yoga studio in West LA
A traditional Ashtanga shala on National Boulevard, and one of the few places in LA running a proper Mysore-style morning programme: you arrive any time in the window and work through your own practice with the teacher moving between students, rather than following a led class. Led practice is Friday. The shala rests on the new and full moon, as the lineage does. Founder Pranidhi Varshney studied with Manju Jois, Nancy Gilgoff and Sharath Jois.
