The Isle of Wight Yoga Shala was opened in March 2005 by Carol Macartney.
Alongside Carol are some top Isle of Wight teachers running classes and workshops. The Shala is light, warm and comfortable with a friendly atmosphere and a welcoming vibe.
There is space in the already busy timetable for visiting mainland teachers to come and teach workshops, which will increase with time.
Childrens yoga is on the menu, as well as beginners and improvers classes for adults, and yoga for teens will be happening after Easter. Pregnancy yoga is another interesting feature and 'Yoga for Men'.
I wanted to create a space for the whole community where anyone and everyone can come and try yoga and experience the benefits of learning to understand our bodies, let go of our minds and find inner peace - after all it is our birthright, says Carol!
