The Shala – A Breath-Centered Yoga Studio in Amsterdam West

From garage to yoga shala—this purpose-built studio in Amsterdam West is a quiet, light-filled space designed to support breath, presence, and community. Originally an automobile repair garage, it was transformed in 2017 into a welcoming, plant-filled yoga space with natural materials, high ceilings, and large windows overlooking a garden.

Our studio is fully equipped for breath-centered practice and accessible to all. We offer cork floors with radiant heat, a full range of props, and space for up to 25 students. Tea, books, and conversation are available before and after class in our cozy reception area.
