Smarter Yoga for Better Living
Shaila attended teacher training in residence at Kripalu Yoga Center for Health in Stockbridge, MA in 2001. This was back when the Yoga Alliance required immersion in a residential program for certification – unlike today when any studio or online outfit can set up shop. No cell phones allowed, and no coffee! Collegial in atmosphere, a large staff of full-time teachers was ready to guide you, tell you the truth and kick you in the backside.
Shaila has spent time studying Kripalu, Sivananda, and Zen Yoga. She blends these traditional styles with the eclectic, indie yoga styles she picked up in Santa Barbara and the modern anatomy education she’s received from medical professionals. She’s combined these magic ingredients and slow baked them in the oven for decades. She serves the YogaHotDish in North Oaks, Minnesota to anyone curious enough to show up!
Shaila believes in fully customized yoga education. If you go stumble into a class and the students all have the same body-type as the teacher (especially if it’s not yours), RUN! YogaHotDish classes are full of all shapes and sizes, ages and stages, scaling the poses in the best way for their body types – not for Instagram! (#notinstayoga). With class sizes topping out at around 12, YogaHotDish is a totally unique custom experience.
Shaila isn’t a Buddhist or a Hindu, just a Lutheran who started studying yoga and meditation while living in Asia, trained with leading teachers in California and Massachusetts — and knows how to throw a HotDish together! You won’t find any chanting or new-age assumptions about energy, chakras or astrology! What you will find is relaxation, peace and lots of QUIET!
