Shala

Thank you Mira and Jarret for creating Shala. I think about you daily when I’m away (is that creepy?) Your dedication to whole nurtured beings is inspiring. I’ve had many yoga instructors. Mira is the best. She’s also much more than that. She changes how I stand in line at the grocery store - both physically and mentally! I’ve learned to check in and ask if the the asana is working for me, not the other way around, to accept and to challenge. Thank you!

Shala is a gem of a yoga studio in so many ways. The space is peaceful, the community rich, and the teacher a master. If you are looking for yoga that will challenge and awaken I can't imagine that there is anywhere else in Durham or the Triangle where you will find this kind of beauty. Mira's instruction is so special. My body, mind, and heart are expanded through every practice.

I’m a guy that likes to do yoga and stretch out after a long day. This yoga studio has a great environment for all and it’s a comfortable place to be.

The space is great and Mira is a very skilled teacher. I have been taking class with her for many years and I highly recommend.

Shala is a wonderful community of caring people who come together for shared practice. I appreciate the honest, grounding approach to yoga, meditation and mindfulness inspiring me to look within for my own inner teacher.

Shala offers a holistic yoga experience that honors and embodies the roots of this practice. If you are searching for something different in your yoga practice, Shala offers a unique experience not found in other Durham studios.

I love this studio so much. Mira pushes me physically, mentally, and spiritually. Every class feels like an experience. I especially love the Thurs night expanding class - it almost feels like a workshop in that I learn something new every time.

I moved to Durham 7 years ago, leaving a studio behind that I loved and thought I'd never replace. NOT TRUE! Mira is awesome and has provided me with true inspiration and great yoga since that time. I recommend her to everyone!

Shala is different then any other yoga studio in Durham. This is a true home, wonderful community of great people surrounded and guided by intelligent, creative and experienced professionals Mira and Jarrett. You always will feel welcome, special, you will be heard and loved during your yoga or meditation practice and beyond. You have choices from sweet Flow Vinyasa and Hatha yoga to much more advanced Dig Deep classes and workshops, many special unique ways to learn old traditions and modern discoveries, to stay embodied and open your heart. Yes, and Shala has amazing music playlists, harmonium, Kirtan, and much more...

I moved to Durham 10 years ago from New York City and have been searching for my yoga community this whole time. My standards were high in terms of the wisdom and experience of the teacher and I finally found what I was looking for with Mira. She goes deep with the teachings of yoga but does it in a very down to earth, easy to understand way. She is authentic and soulful and so, so wise. I have been doing yoga for 30 years yet I learn in every class I take with Mira. She kind of kicks my butt sometimes! I would have gone to any studio to study with her, but when she opened her own space I felt the universe was giving me the biggest gift. Not only is the space beautiful (I am an interior deisgner, so the aesthetic of space affects me deeply) & very conveniently located, but Mira and Jarret together are the most wonderful team. Jarret teaches meditation and also is a musician. Together they are knowledgeable, musical, inspiring and so, so commited to making the space one for the community. They designed it for belonging. The Shala is absoluetly one of the greatest gifts in my life right now, where I feel like I belong.
