The aerial workshops with Dre Fors was an inspiring experience. Loved it!

Beautiful studio! The environment is so welcoming. The instruction here gentlyenabled me to safely push myself with encouragement and kind reminders rather than intimidation. I loved it - I felt so peaceful and aware of my body 😊

Great experience with this studio! It’s a family owned business and everyone is so nice and personable. They have a great variety of classes and offer them throughout the day Monday-Sunday. I’m so excited they offer the hot yoga! I came in on a Groupon, and will definitely be signing up for the membership.

Giana is very affirming. I am totally new to yoga but I feel that I was led to the right place in The Shiva Yoga Shala. It seems so much more than physical activity. Giana communicates peace of mind, body, and spirit to her clients/students. I am very hopeful of the possibilities of what yoga has for me in the future.

I have been doing yoga around town, it’s my first time in a studio (other ones has been outdoor). The studio is very simple and clean, it helps me focus without all the distractions from the other yoga sessions I’ve been to. Valerie is very professional and knowledgeable, not to mention she was very friendly and open through out the whole time, made me feel really comfortable. I am def going to bring my friends back here 🤗

Vickie is a great teacher! Very sensitive to her students needs each class.

Shiva Yoga Shala has a wonderful atmosphere and welcoming environment. I particularly enjoyed the Yin yoga on Tuesday nights for deep stretch and relaxation. Thank-you so much for all you do for the wellness community!

I love Shiva Yoga Shala. Amazing power yoga. Great workout. Nick and Giana are inspirational. Just what you need at the end of the day to decompress and center yourself.

The studio is very comfortable and inviting. Karlee was lovely. It was the first time in studio by myself and I didnt feel out of place. Thank you

If you are looking for a yoga studio to get your fitness in (working up a sweat / really getting your heart pumping) I would not choose this studio, but other than that it is excellent. If you are looking for relaxing classes where the teachers will give you time to get into the pose properly and explain it in detail so even a beginner can understand / a person who practices regularly can be reminded how to do it right I suggest this studio. It’s perfect for vacationers, retirees, or people trying to have a reflective experience. Docking 1 point solely because I tried 3 classes and none got my heart really pumping. The studio is also beautiful - they had great poinsettias set up around the teacher when I was here in December.

I recently started taking classes. There is a warm, and inviting atmosphere from the moment you arrive to the time you leave. Kindness truly is contagious. Thank you all for you gentle and loving spirits.

First off, I love that I am able to join in from NJ.. the virtual class is such a plus. Also the teacher - Valerie was thorough with explaining each position and made it that much more relaxing since Im a bit of a newbie!! The energy was perfect especially early in the morning a refreshing way to start my day! Cant wait for Fridays class..

Great vibe, simple process and very easy laid back classes for beginners. Also enjoy the knowledge that comes with yoga to understand more of what it is and how it specifically benefits certain areas of the body.

Instruction is consistently quality. Love the online courses. So grateful.

This studio came highly recommended by my former yoga studio, which had to close right around the time the pandemic started. I tried doing classes online--both convenient and socially distant!--but it never worked right. Half the time I wouldnt get the link sent to me (although my account would be charged) or it was a mad scramble to try to contact the studio before the class started to remind them to send the link and code. At the end of the day, it was stressful and frustrating, which is the opposite of what yoga should be. The classes themselves, the few times I could get in, were fine. Oh well, at least it was only $40.

Owners are amazing people. Highly recommend.

Amazing teachers, classes and vibe.

I dont live in Florida and loved the online format available to practice in my home. The sound quality and the quality of teaching was amazing online. Look forward to exploring more classes and teachers.

I’ve been coming to the Shiva Yoga Shala for a few years. I live in NJ but visit fort Myers a few times a year and this is my go to studio down south. The staff is welcoming and very friendly and they offer a variety of classes. I like the hot classes. I look forward to coming to the studio when I’m down on vacation!They have good prices and excellent customer service. They recently gave me a courtesy extension on my package because I wasn’t able to get down to Florida for the past few months. I appreciate the kind gesture and will definitely be coming back.

It was easy to follow since I have not done any yoga a time or two years ago. Nick and Giana have been very encouraging to me and the studio is very professional. I love the virtual studio aspect and hope it continues when things get back to normal, since I dont live close by.

Shiva Yoga Shala is the best yoga studio Ive ever practiced in. The teachers (Nick, Giana, Molly, Laurie, Karlee) are always supportive and encouraging. The environment is soothing with great energy!Im incredibly happy to call the Shiva Yoga Shala my yoga HOME.If you are looking for a place for Yoga Teacher Training, look no further! Their teacher training program is thorough, immersive, and life-changing. Easily it was the best decision I made for myself in 2019!

Went to yin tonight, Gina was awesome 👍

I have been to many yoga studios around town and The Shiva is by far the best studio I have been too. The energy is so great. The yoga styles are amazing. It definitely feels like a family there. I love everything about it.

They were so welcoming! Beautiful studio and energy. Love the merchandise. Lots of class options but I took a Yin class.The class itself was amazing but all the extra stuff made this place a 10!

Beautiful space. Very inviting. Great teacher. Great class.

Every time I go to a class at the Shiva Yoga Shala, I come out feeling like a new person. Not only are the classes great—the STAFF is great. It’s an amazing space with amazing people. Any time I’m in Ft Myers, this is where I go to reset myself and find my center.

I love this studio. I felt comfortable from the first day I walked in. The instructors are wonderful. They are very approachable and helpful. Studio is spotless. They mix up practices so that your whole body gets a workout and it is doesnt get boring. The restorative practices are great.

This place is awesome! Super clean, inviting, and relaxing space. The owner is so gracious and professional. There is something for everyone here..all levels are accommodated. Highly recommend.

I love the energy at the Shala. The teachers and the variety of classes are tremendous as well. This yoga studio has helped me to move so much better with less painful days. Each day I look forward to class and meeting other friendly students. Showing up for that first class has changed my outlook on life!

Wow! A safe place to turn inwards and to learn and grow. I cannot recommend this place enough. Ive been attending classes here for over 3 years now. Nick and Gianna have done a tremendous job of creating an environment that feels like home.

Love this place. Everyone is so nice and the instructors are amazing.You can feel the beautiful energy as soon as you walk in the door.This is a wonderful place to recharge your batteries, lift your spirit, and reconnect with yourself.

I really love Bianca the dental assistant, very kind&nice lady ,who treated me so well. I do enjoy the treatment with her kindness and cares.awesome!

There is so much more offerred here than the average yoga studio! A Shala is defined in Sanskrit as a home. There is so much light and love in this Shala and it provides a wonderful outreach into our local community by offering kirtan, drumming , and hosts many other special events to help unite us !

Welcoming studio. Delightful class with LAURIE. Awe some way to start the day

Popped in for a class while on vacation and was such a wonderful treat! Great teacher, beautiful studio, nice staff, and plenty of props.

Started the 6 week challenge and love the studio. Positive energy and great classes. The restorative class is amazing!

I love this yoga studio. Excellent instructors. They definitely deserve more than 5 stars in my book. My yoga journey will continue here.... thank you all.

LOVE the heated flow classes here. It is so rare to find in this area. The teachers take special care in designing their classes (they are never the same) and involve elements of challenge and nurture.

It is quite a statement, “yoga saved my life,” and yet you hear it in every studio in the county. Being a ‘seasonal local’ my personal practice has allowed me to venture into many diverse studios throughout the years and states that we have traveled.There is none that compares to the Shiva Yoga Shala. This shala (home) is in its second month and already its healing presence in this community is palpable. Connecting yoga and dance communities and blending flow with other types of yoga, combined with Ageless Flow, a program for anyone that needs breath and movement in their life, allows anyone to practice, even if it is from a chair.Nick and Giana have created more than a studio but a space that will be connecting people to others and to themselves for years to come. Nick’s vast experiences and own personal journey combined with Giana’s energy and dedication along with their father/daughter energy is recognizable immediately.This space, with its simplicity allows each person to learn to support themselves on their mat and align with their life’s mission. Whether you are a local, a snowbird or someone who needs a life alignment, come and try out their introductory classes. You will be forever changed.

The Shiva Yoga Shala is an incredibly transformative space! Im so grateful to call the Shiva Yoga Shala, home.Not only does the Shiva Yoga Shala provide an amazing Asana practice and full body work out... but they provide space for the mind and spirit to heal, to grow, and to soar.

Not a lot of good yoga in Fort Myers but this studio brings a great energy to a very authentic yoga practice. Everyone in the class seemed like normal people not some

I love the atmosphere and elegant appearance of the studio. Moreover, I love the authenticity of the owners, Nick and Giana, in teaching Yoga. Not only in respect of the asanas, but by embracing all aspects of Yoga, such as diet, lifestyle, meditation, pranayama etc. I enjoy the spiritual energy that I perceive while taking a class. It is truly a beautiful space with a wonderful team of instructors!

*** UPDATE ***. Below is my original review but I am adding now for the VIRTUAL STUDIOThe virtual studio is amazing. Best classes that I have ever seen offered out there. They are live- which to me makes a huge difference. There is that sense of community still there - and we practice together energeticallyThese classes have brought me back to life during quarantine - they have made a huge difference in my life and I am grateful to the Shiva Yoga Shala for offering them——————————————————————I took my first class today and absolutely loved it!! Its such a beautiful space and a warm welcoming environmentI loved the vibe - the words of the instructor during class -- the affirmationsAlso, the help I received choosing classes that would be good for me as a beginnerIn the morning I took yin yasa-- I felt an incredible difference right away - then in the evening back to back - all level vinyasa followed by Restorative-- all I can say about that is WOW. What an incredible way to end the dayI LOVE restorative!I am looking forward to going every day !!!Namaste

Great place with great people! Concerned and caring with all aspects, mind body and soul. Thanks to them my practice has improved greatly.

Practicing yoga at the Shala means being surrounded by extraordinary people who genuinely care about you. I just started my yoga journey and I have found so much support and love here. Theres no other place like it!!!

Really great new Yoga Studio in Fort Myers. Owners are so nice and welcoming. Instructors know their stuff. Beautiful studio with a peaceful vibe. Great for the mind and body.

Have only been to yoga classes a couple of times, but Gianna is definitely my favorite yoga instructor based in Florida!

Friendly staff, welcoming patrons, great atmosphere and pleasant practice

YSS is a sanctuary offering health and peace in mind body and spirit. 🙏

This place is like home (shala is a perfect name!) The owners are always friendly and happy to see you. They also love to help lessen confusion/stress/negativity by answering questions, offering suggestions, and listening to their clients. The atmosphere in the foyer, yoga studio, bathrooms, and back room is peaceful and clean. I love taking partner yoga classes here with Nery & Giana, they really know their stuff and focus on proper body mechanics for safety while still having fun. I have just started taking regular yoga classes and my personal favorites are Yin yoga and BUTI yoga for an awesome workout. I always leave feeling calmer and lighter! Its a great place to dance too, as they also offer salsa & bachata classes. I would recommend this place for newbies and veterans of yoga and dance!
