Mystic Yoga Shala Reviews
I had a wonderful experience practicing at Mystic Yoga Shala, while on vacation in Mystic. I had the chance to practice with the owner, Amy "Dechen" Zezulka, and Aaron, and they both were warm and welcoming and made me feel right at home. The same can be said with the other students in the class who gave me recommendations of other things to do while in town. I highly recommend this yoga studio!
January 21 · Lauren NyeI’m biased. I met the owner “Dechen” more than 10 years ago, she created a space to practice Yoga. Dechen allows the space to be you and grow to your own authentic self. Highly recommend you create your practice
June 25 · Aaron WarrenI first started practicing at the Shala when I was 16. What sets this community apart from other studios in the area is the welcoming atmosphere and community. Whether it’s your first time or four hundredth time practicing yoga, you’ll feel right at home here.
December 20 · Emma SutphenLove this studio! People make you feel welcomed and invited no matter your skill level. I was very nervous about going as I am quite unskilled but I really enjoy the peace, the atmosphere and the compassion of everyone I’ve met. Dechen is a wonderful teacher as are the other instructors. A really great place to learn whether online or in person.
July 24 · Linnea OI have not been able to find yoga classes as intense or beautiful since I moved away. The instructors here were welcoming to all but really pushed me to improve. The studio itself is peaceful and the perfect setting for mindful practice.
