Yoga does not just change the way we see things, it transforms the person who sees.” ― B.K.S Iyengar.
We are excited to grow our practice and life with you! As a commitment to offering this community a vast and rich experience we are constantly exploring ways to transform. Below are some upcoming workshops that we are honored to share with you.
TYS ASSISTING IMMERSION
Saturday April 11th, 10:30am-6:30pm
with Brittany Lamb, Amber Ovalle, Mg Brills
2010 Balboa Street, in the Richmond
Join the first day-long Assisting Immersion Course at The Yoga Shala
This day-long Assisting Course is for teachers and dedicated practitioners who want to deepen their understanding of hands-on assists in a grounded, ethical, and skillful way. Assisting isn’t about fixing shapes or imposing form, it’s about presence, timing, and learning how to listen through your hands. When done well, an assist can offer clarity, support, and a deeper sense of connection within a student’s practice.
Maybe you completed a 200- or 300-hour training but left without the confidence or real-world practice to assist a class. Maybe you’re considering a teacher training and want to dip your toes into the curriculum. Or maybe you simply love receiving assists and are curious about supporting a teacher as an assistant in class.
This training is ideal for:
Yoga teachers looking to refine or refresh their assisting skills
Anyone considering a Yoga Teacher Training
Practitioners interested in becoming part of The Yoga Shala’s pilot assisting program
Throughout the day, you’ll explore a wide range of assisting techniques and learn how—and when—to offer deeper assists with care. You’ll practice assisting real movement, working with both steady postures and more dynamic, load-bearing poses. The emphasis is on discernment, communication, and building confidence so your assists feel supportive, intentional, and responsive to the person in front of you.

Yin Yoga + Acupuncture
Next workshop TBA soon!
With Taylor Reno and Brittany Lamb
TYS BALBOA
Slow down and surrender to stillness in this deeply restorative evening designed to reset your body and calm your mind.
We’ll begin with a grounding yin yoga practice — long, supported postures that gently open the body’s energy channels and invite a meditative quiet. As you settle into savasana, an experienced licensed acupuncturist will offer a gentle acupuncture treatment to support nervous system balance, energetic flow, and deep rest.
This combination of yin and acupuncture works on both physical and energetic levels — helping to regulate stress, improve sleep, and restore harmony within.
All levels are welcome. Please wear comfortable layers and bring anything that helps you feel cozy (eye pillow, blanket, socks).
