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.
