I had practiced yoga in many different styles before moving to Port Macquarie and finding a dedicated Ashtanga studio with a great teacher at the Yoga Shala. Ashtanga has now become a regular practise for me and I can't imagine my life without it or the strong connections I have made with the Yoga Shala community.
I had tried yoga before and had enjoyed it but something seemed to be missing from the practice. When I came to practice Ashtanga yoga with Denis for the first time, I properly connected the movement and the asanas with my breath. The practice seemed to suddenly make sense: every movement linked inextricably to either an inhalation or an exhalation.

Connection to each other and to ourselves. Often, we let the pressures of life stop us from taking care of ourselves and nurturing this precious connection. To be well, we need time alone, time to care for ourselves, time to breathe consciously. Our classes use the breath as a tool to create internal awareness and focus.
People come to Yoga for many reasons - to get strong, to improve their sleep, to gain flexibility, or to find more balance and peace in everyday life. At the Shala we share our passion for Yoga with students of all levels in a serene and peaceful environment. Yoga is an ancient tool, which can help us keep our bodies healthy and our minds calm.

We went up to Port Macquarie for my sisters hens weekend away. I found the Yoga Shala on google. I contacted The yoga Shala and spoke with Denis. For a few weeks I stayed in contact with Denis and went through exactly what the hens group (8) of us wanted. Denis assisted and answered all of my questions which made me book a yoga session with Denis from The Yoga Shala. We had our yoga session on Saturday 3rd October 2020 on green grass overlooking Town Beach which was amazing. Everyone loved the session, was comfortable with Denis as an instructor and listening to the beach waves topped up the yoga

I recently undertook a 4 week beginners evening Ashtanga course with a girlfriend instead of meeting up for the usual coffee and chat. Best choice ever . We had a fabulous intimate group of 4 in our class ... we learnt ... (sometimes we laughed ) and we evolved. I'm happier, stronger and looking forward to more challenges in the future.
