YogaHotDish Yoga Classes North Oaks, Arden Hills, Falcon Heights

Shaila is an instructor with heart. She is practical, wise, compassionate, humorous, and incredibly knowledgeable about yoga and how to teach it. She is very active and hands on throughout every session, moving around the whole 90 minutes helping every person correct and/or adapt poses.

She makes her classes widely available across a large geographic range while leaving a small footprint by tucking into available unused community spaces whether it be a community center, childcare center, golf club, art center, or church.

She understands that injuries, aging, surgeries and other bodily trials happen over the long haul of yoga practice, so she is an instructor who will push you plenty, but who also embraces the concept and frequently states it, “Do the best you can with the body you showed up in today. Work at your own pace.”

Hands down the best yoga classes I have ever taken. Shaila tailors her instruction to meet each individual exactly where they are in their yoga experience. Great positive energy, excellent education, and a supportive group of people. Everyone who attends is made to feel welcome. Highly recommend!

When you study yoga with Shaila, the physical location doesn’t matter! We’ve practiced outside in parks, in a preschool, on tennis courts, in city hall buildings- and it doesn’t matter because the instructor is what matters! Shaila tailors her instruction to your body and your yoga journey. Smaller classes with personal instruction equals growth in your mind and body. No studio fussiness, just 90 minutes of pure yoga with 10 or more minutes of yoga nidra to find your peace of mind.

Sheila is an incredible instructor. When she says "It's just yoga," she means it. No fuss, no muss, no mirrors, no music -- just 90 minutes of pure yoga. She's amazingly good at what she does and works to make sure that her students perfect their poses to maximize the benefits of yoga and she does it all with a kindness and gentleness that makes the 90 minutes just fly by.

Highly recommend Shaila! She is accommodating to all skill levels and so easy to work with. I have collaborated with her to schedule multiple yoga events and she goes above and beyond.

Kind and gentle, calm and encouraging yoga.

Fabulous! Great class.
