For us, here at Circle Yoga Shala, practice begins with setting an aim. 🔥

Or rather, practice is about aligning oneself with the goals that Yoga has set for those who start down this path. To quote the Gita, those goals are
🍃 humble submission
🍃 inquiry, and
🍃 service.

Yoga here isn’t about performance. It’s about transformation. 🪷

Yoga can often **feel** therapeutic.
But not all yoga is therapy. 🪷

Yoga Therapy is specific, intentional, and measurable.
It assesses, strategizes, and tracks progress — so both therapist and client know what truly shifted.

Because healing isn’t guesswork. It’s awareness, accountability, and freedom.🍃

Our specialty trainings teach you how to do just that. If you're interested in learning more, check out our Yoga Therapy program on our website.

Earlier this month we graduated 4 incredible women from our Yoga Therapy program. Congratulations!

Niki Cowburn

Hollie Lloyd

Alisyn Reid

Kat Fossell

This demanding 4-year program prepared them to work with a wide range of areas including pain, biomechanical compensations, lifestyle habits, psychological diseases, diet, chakras, emotional support, mental health, and more!

This doesn’t even begin to scratch the surface of the dedication and hard work that these women have accomplished.

We are so proud. Again, congratulations!

Why include horses in so many of our programs? 🐴

Well, one reason is because horses have a “coherent” heart rhythm, which means their heart rate variability (HRV) shows a pattern of calm and well-being.

This coherence, combined with their large electromagnetic field, can influence humans to feel calmer and more relaxed.

Research indicates that when humans and horses are in close proximity or interacting, their heart rhythms can synchronize, leading to reduced stress, lower blood pressure, and other physiological benefits for the human.

Our Story

Circle Yoga Shala is a School for Yoga, Creative Movement, and Self-Inquiry in Arkansas’ Ozark Mountains. We are a Member School of the International Association of Yoga Therapists (IAYT) and a registered school with the National Yoga Alliance.

At the heart of all we do is contemplation, self-observation, and service.

We offer yoga teacher trainings in our 200-hour, 500-hour, and 800-hour Professional Yoga Therapy programs. We teach principles and methods that are grounded in somatic inquiry, and not inherently limited to a style of practice. To take a posture that is filled with one’s attention, ‘sensing’ what is happening (seeing and recognizing rather than thinking about), and then responding intelligently is to move with reality rather than projecting onto it. This somatic inquiry is taught in asana (movement and stillness), in meditation (sitting and walking), and in a felt relationship to the three centers: head, heart, and gut. This method lays the foundation for self-inquiry and contemplation.

Join our Seva program available each June for an opportunity to immerse in practice, community and nature without enrolling in a formal teacher training.
