Portsmouth Yoga Shala offers experienced instruction in the Ashtanga tradition while drawing upon the yoga system to offer Therapeutic Yoga classes. At the shala, we believe yoga is a life-long path that will grow and transform as we move through our life. We encourage students to remain generally committed to one form of practice for an extended period of time to allow the true effects of yoga to take root. Some exploration is usually necessary before we find the practice we most connect with so we also offer classes in Kripalu and Vinyasa tradition. Owner, Jason Varney taps in to his years of teaching experience to offer intuitive, authentic instruction with an open heart and easy sense of humor.

Special Offerings
In addition to weekly Ashtanga and Therapeutic Yoga classes, a room is available for Private and Semi-Private yoga instruction (also available for rent to practitioners who need a space to use for their own clients). We offer an extensive Corporate Wellness program designed to bring yoga to the workplace. We are developing a workshop schedule that will bring in visiting teachers to share on topics including Ayurveda, Yoga, Acupuncture and Yoga Therapy. We run ongoing Intro to Yoga courses on a 4 and 6-week basis suited for beginners or anyone looking to return to a regular yoga practice but need a little motivation! In the future we look forward to working with charity events to create awareness and cultivate a sense of giving back to the local and global community.
