Great energy. Great space. Great instructor. Learning deeper than just asana practice.

Amazing energy from the moment you walk through the front door. The staff always welcomes you and makes you feel right at home. The teachers are fantastic and personable. There’s an excellent variation of different types of classes that anyone can find something to suit their style of yoga. Very clean and peaceful atmosphere. They have a great selection of teas to choose from and a really nice sauna complimentary to all students.Best yoga studio in Arcata!

Beautiful, warm, clean and kind. Great atmosphere. Good vibes. I love Sashas class. Its challenging yet easy to tone down or pipe up depending on each yogis personal needs. -and great music.

Om Shala has a warm, clean, friendly atmosphere. Its teachers are knowledgeable and dedicated and there is a great variety of classes, workshops and special events. I love going to classes here!

I was recommended this place by a friend. I mentioned that I was looking for somewhere I could have taken a yoga class and a sauna. She told me that it had everything I wanted! She was right! Very nice place. clean sauna, clean shower. awesome all the way around

Peggy Profant is an amazing teacher, and I am grateful she continues to teach at Om Shala after selling the studio. The sauna is an added bonus, especially when you get it all to yourself. I am grateful for the new pricing that makes classes more accessible to all.

I loved my experience at OmShala! My instructor was very helpful and caring, and the studio was very inviting and clean. I would definitely recommend OmShala to anybody interested in yoga.

Very welcoming, very great classes, nice space for yoga

World class teachers in a warm and welcoming environment. Love this place!

I have been a on and off yoga practioner of yoga most of my adult life but it wasnt until I experienced Peggy Profants class that I became a dedicated practioner! She and the other instructors at Om Shala Yoga are amazing, inspiring, welcoming and accepting of all people! Plus they have a sauna too!

Om Shala Yoga is my go-to yoga studio in Arcata. Just walking into their elegant environment relaxes my mind and body, let alone the magic that happens in the awesome variety of classes and workshops they offer. The energy of the staff and teachers always feels very personal and qualified....and where else can you end your yoga session with a free sauna? Absolutely the best.

Ever since this place was bought in 2018 its gone downhill. Raised the prices, turned it into just another business, sent away locals by giving deals to HSU people only. We used to go here a couple of times a week but stopped. Heard that classes and other events are being cancelled because customers have moved on. The studio attracts people with attitude and who are quite clique-ish. If youre not part of the in crowd, youll feel it. Its depressing in there.

Ultimately grateful for this Yoga studio and love attending class there multiple times per week. Om Shala is deeply rooted in the community of Yogis in Arcata and is regarded very highly by their many returning yoga students. Personally, as a new yoga student, I had felt very welcomed by the amazing community that surrounds Om Shala. Their approach to teaching yoga is incredibly mindful and unique; often with a focus on therapeutic and meditative practice. The facility its self is top of the line; clean, up to date and a perfect ambiance for getting into the proper headspace for meditation and/or yoga. I am beyond words for how much I love and appreciate this yoga studio. From their knowledgable staff to their sauna to their music events and all the other fantastic services the studio provides, this is the perfect studio weather youre just starting out or youre wishing to deepen your already existing practice. I honestly believe theyre in 100% for the right reason. To help people live a more full life through the practice no matter what your background. My hope is other people will see this and visit Om Shala and hopefully its as special of a place to them as it is to me. Thank you to all the staff and community at Om Shala for the space and for the practice. NAMASTE

The vinyasa classes are all too similar. Not enough integration of poses mostly a lot of Vinyasa through to downward dog. The bathrooms are really dirty. The sauna is always at mild to medium heat never very hot. The whole studio has a vibe of holier than than you and the front desk woman treats you like youre lucky to be there instead of the other way around. Her sparkly eyeshadow and wacky personality doesnt help curb her passive aggressive attitude. Samanthas classes are the best. All too often youll hear Studio drama being talked about openly. I dont need to hear other yoga teachers criticize each other. Thats not why Im going to yoga. Gossip is rampant here. Omshala has more of a negative feel to it due to the air of pompous people who make it their business to assess your own personal growth instead of just minding their own business and practicing yoga. Peggys classes seem preachy as if shes got some lesson she wants to teach everyone because she knows more than them or something. Other than her piousness her classes are good for learning alignment. She is a really great teacher despite the way she comes across. Overall, I think this studio has a few good teachers yet they lose a lot of points because they think that theyre the best studio in town. Well it might be aesthetically pleasing its not pleasing to the heart.

Best yoga studio ever....

Im hooked.
