From the reviews

I found this yoga studio while visiting the Fort Myers area and I am so glad that I did. It was so warm and welcoming, has a great variety of classes to try, and excellent teachers. Stephanie who was at the front desk on my first day there encouraged me to try her aerial yoga class, and it was an amazing experience.

I have been a member at Shiva Shala for several years and never disappointed. The owners, Nick and Giana, live what they teach and the instructors are great. There are a lot of different class choices, from beginners to heated power, and now aerial. The studio is beautiful and welcoming.

Shiva Yoga Shala is everything I wanted and more importantly everything I needed (but didn’t know it). The studio offers experienced instructors with a variety of classes for all levels, ensuring everyone feels welcome. But it’s the vibe that really drew me in.

★★★★★ — Sue, Apr 2025

Yesterday I went to lee’s class for the very first time, well very first time doing yoga ever actually. I must say that lee’s class absolutely changed my entire life. At first I was nervous as to what the class would be like but she made it the best experience ever.

Teacher training at The Shiva Yoga Shala

The Shiva Yoga Shala comes up for teacher training — confirmed on their own site. If you're thinking about becoming an instructor, a few things are worth asking up front. First, which certification the program leads to — most hot-yoga trainings are Yoga Alliance registered (RYT-200 or RYT-500), and the style matters: a Bikram or hot-power lineage trains differently than a hot-vinyasa or sculpt one. Second, the schedule and prerequisites — cohorts often run in intensive weekend blocks or over several months, and many studios want you practicing regularly there first. Third, cost and payment plans, and whether tuition includes an unlimited membership for the training period. Teacher training is a real commitment of time and money, so it's worth a call or an info session before you enroll.

Your first hot yoga class at The Shiva Yoga Shala

Nervous about your first hot class? Almost everyone is, and a good studio expects beginners to walk in the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: the room is heated, so it feels intense for the first few minutes — rest in child's pose any time you need to, no one will bat an eye. Hydrate: drink water through the day before class, not just as you arrive, and bring a bottle. What to bring: a mat and towel, water, and a change of clothes; wear something light you don't mind sweating through, and skip a heavy meal in the couple of hours beforehand. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign in and set up. It gets easier fast — most people say their third class feels completely different from their first.

Heat and intense exercise aren't right for everyone — if you're pregnant or have heart, blood-pressure, or other health concerns, check with a doctor before your first hot class.
