Teton Yoga Shala

Dec 2020

Teton Yoga Shala is an incredible yoga studio and resource in our mountain community. Adi Amar, the studio's owner, brings her deep, meaningful relationship with yoga to every class and training. Through Adi, I have learned that the practice of yoga is so much more than simply a physical practice. During the pandemic, this studio has been committed to creating a safe, clean , socially distanced space in-studio as well as consistently offering classes on Zoom.

Adi and Ainslie are diligent, patient, and effective. As a 50-year-old inflexible road warrior, I seemed to hurt myself too often. Trying maintain Jackson-esque activity was a pain in the (lower) back. After two years of regular sessions in "Ropes and Chairs" at the Teton Yoga Shala, I can ski, hike, bike, and even fly with more strength and comfort. Far fewer injuries and more confidence allow me to increase my weekly exercise and enjoy the mountains more often. Adi's class is slow but intense, with deep explanations and an emphasis on the philosophy behind yoga. Ainslie's class is faster, hitting more muscle groups and typically concluding with an inversion, where you wrap yourself into ropes upside down against a wall. This position was initially intimidating, but now is one of the best 5 minutes of my week. Finally, while Adi and Ainslie take the practice of yoga seriously, they do not take themselves or me too seriously. Even my naïve questions are met with a ready answer, a smile, and some well-deserved and welcome ripping. Ropes, Chairs & Chuckles.

I decided to drop in for a hot yoga class after a long day of snowboarding and I am so happy that I did! The energy was so positive. The class size was small and intimate and the asanas challenged me in the best way. The best part was looking out the windows and watching the sun set over the Tetons. Such a beautiful sight. I highly recommend stopping in for a class some time. I would probably have a membership there if I were a local!
