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.

What a terrific hump day morning! It was my first time taking Amy's all level class and I will be back. I am easing my way back into flow. The structure (a well balanced ISHTA class with many nuggets), pace and theme really resonated with me. Her online voice was clear, succinct and energizing— a perfect way to start the day.

Helen's voice, clear explanations and warmth resonate through this abbreviated meditation class. She sets a tone that allows you to drift into a place of sheer bliss and come out renewed and ready to move into your Fabulous Friday with a smile inside and out!!

Helen's energy is truly mesmerizing. She offers grounded, gentle and magical support to the Ishta YTT student. I feel seen and valued by her each time she has facilitated the one-to-one sessions in this 300 hour training. Today however, i was struck by how she is the living embodiment of yoga: calm, joyful and present. I am very grateful to her, as I am all Ishta teachers.

These workshops of Mona's leave you with lasting truths, unconscious thoughts and fears brought to light, and calm. The lessons stay with you for a surprisingly long time. This is the yoga world equivalent to listening to a virtuoso musician and I always feel lucky when I get the chance..
