STUDIOS
OUR YOGA STUDIOS IN BERLIN
WELCOME TO SHA-LA STUDIOS – BERLIN’S LEADING HUB FOR YOGA, WELLBEING & TEACHER TRAININGS.
SHA-LA is a wellness community with three homes in Berlin — our waterfront studio on the Spree in Kreuzberg, and two more on Kastanienallee in Prenzlauer Berg. What started as a yoga studio has grown into something wider: yoga, Pilates, sound baths, breathwork, wellbeing treatments and, most recently, a dedicated strength training studio.
The thread running through all of it is the same. We want movement to feel like something you look forward to, not something you get through. Whether that means a slow yin class, a barbell under your back, or an hour on a treatment table, it should leave you feeling more like yourself.
More than 90 teachers and coaches work across our studios. They bring different lineages, different training and different stories, and we like it that way — it means there’s a class here for every body and every level, whether you’re on the mat for the first time or deepening a practice you’ve held for years.
Our studios provide mats, props and lockers. Lockers run on a bring-your-own-lock policy, and every studio has a security door, so classes stay safe and uninterrupted from start to finish.
ONE COMMUNITY. THREE HOMES.
Most people in Berlin end up splitting their week across a yoga studio, a gym and somewhere to actually recover. We built SHA-LA so you don’t have to.
