Shamatha Yoga Studio and Bookstore

I have practiced at Shamatha for many years, I love the atmosphere and a deep level of instruction. Chris is an amazing yoga teacher and a warm and caring person — you will love the experience and feel stronger and healthier!

I am a Shamatha devotee, for good reason. Great studio, terrific instructors, decent variety of classes. It it a teaching studio so the instructors take the time to teach and gently adjust postures so that you get maximum benefit from my practice. Even though I am an experienced practitioner, I enjoy going to the beginner classes as well as the more advance classes, since you get a great core workout in addition to practicing postures and sequences. THe studio is beautiful, open and light, one of the nicest and warmest spaces I’ve been in for yoga, and the room is never too crowded so you don’t feel confined or hemmed in by other students.
You can stop in and try a session. They’re located in a bit of an odd place – on the 2^nd floor of a small commercial ‘strip’, but not hard to find, a mile off of Exit 35 of the Merritt on High Ridge Road. If you’re new to yoga, or a practitioner who’s looking for a more vigorous practice, DO check them out. Amazed at what it’s done for my body and my spirit.

Great Find ! — — Today
I have been going here for the past four weeks and the experience is just amazing ! I am an overweight male in my 50’s and have tried Yoga a few times in my past. This is by far the best that I have experienced. I feel an improvement mentally, physically and spiritually. I know that I am getting healthier each and every day so I recommend this place as the one to go to.
