Shila Shah

Been practicing for the last 20 years and teaching for 5 years.

Teaching extensively for last 7 years and have recently finished a 500 hour certification from Rishikesh  India

I grew up in an extended family and was fortunate to observe
my grandfather practice yoga religiously everyday. As I grew
older, my journey brought me to a successful career working
as an Executive Architecture Consultant for CGI managing
infrastructure for Fortune 500 Companies (e.g. John Hancock,
Cirque De Soleil, Bell Canada). At the peak of my career, I
began my journey inwards and asked myself "I have
possessions for my body, pleasures for my mind and positions
for my intellect"- but am I at peace? My personal passion and
professional path collided.

I veered directions and went back to my roots of practicing
Yoga and diving deep to comprehend Yogic Philosophy
(Vedas, Gita and Yoga Sutras)
Everyday I roll out my mat as a student or a teacher it's a
different story. I continue to unveil how the yoga practice has
started to breakdown the psychological, emotional, physical,
energetic, and psychic of my mind.

I bring a unique sense of empowerment to each of my yoga
classes. I incorporates Asanas, Pranayama, Biomechanics,
Meditation and creatively inject yoga philosophy in my
teachings. My classes are always challenging physically,
mentally, and delivered with uplifting music. I use the analogy
that one student had mentioned to me,
"that my classes are
like biting into all the layers of the cake".
