Smarter Yoga for Better Living
Shaila attended yoga teacher training in residence at Kripalu Yoga Center for Health, Stockbridge, MA in 2001. This was back when the Yoga Alliance required immersion in a residential program for yoga teacher training certification. 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 first studied yoga and meditation while living in Singapore and Japan. Kripalu, Sivananda, and Iyengar influences somehow get thrown together in a Santa Barbara secret sauce. Sprinkle in modern best practices to ensure safety along with the latest latest research and you get a slow-cooked…HotDish. YogaHotDish is currently served in North Oaks, Arden Hills and Falcon Heights, 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 with Quaker roots 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!
