Welcome to ISHTA!

At ISHTA, we are less about “arriving” somewhere through our yoga practice than we are about “coming home” to the perfection we already are. We offer both IN STUDIO and ONLINE class options that meet you at whatever level you are at in your journey, from absolute beginner to decades-long practitioner. And with ISHTA U's continuing education programs, we offer immersion trainings, workshops, and specialty courses to deepen your experience of this timeless wisdom.

  • Recorded Classes

    Thirteen classes on our schedule are recorded each week, and only ISHTA members have 72 hours after a recorded class ends to practice with us on demand.

  • Offerings

    Class options that meet you at whatever level you are at in your journey. Offerings include asana, meditation, yin, restorative, and yoga nidra.
