About Me

Located in Reno, Nevada, Yoga Shack is a small studio and retail shop. Founded in 1998, Yoga Shack focuses on Power Yoga, based on the ancient tradition of Ashtanga yoga. Ashtanga is a carefully formulated series of poses that provide a vigorous balanced yoga workout. The series maximizes yoga's cleansing, strengthening, and toning effects. In Power Yoga classes, the series is shortened and modified to provide the same thorough workout in a shorter period of time. It is also modified to better suit beginning yoga students.
Unlike many forms of yoga, Power Yoga is a fast-paced, heat producing class. A basic tenet of Ashtanga yoga is that you must be hot to stretch. The Ashtanga flow emphasizes the movements that link the postures and generate heat in the body. Only when we are hot, can we begin to develop strength and flexibility. Because of this students of Power Yoga will find that they experience the effects of yoga more quickly. They will feel stronger, more relaxed, more focused; they will see their muscle tone increase and their injuries heal; they will see their health improve as they detox and clean their internal organs.
Yoga Shack carries a full line of supplies and clothing to complete your yoga experience. We also conduct workshops on a variety of topics and have a yearly teacher training program.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Power Yoga is perfect for athletes -- Athletes tend to overexercise certain muscles, causing great imbalances in the body that can lead to chronic injury. Power Yoga helps to correct this imbalance and can help heal old injuries and prevent new ones from occurring. Power Yoga is also perfect for exercise minded individuals who are used to fast paced aerobic classes, running, or walking. Some folks who have never been able to stick to an exercise routine find it easy and enjoyable to commit to a consistent yoga practice. Yoga is a nice, balanced workout that combines strengthening, flexibility, and endurance, so it offers all the exercise you need in about an hour of your time!
The pace of Power Yoga is a bit faster than other styles of yoga, but students still work to cultivate deep focus and peace of mind. In other forms of exercise you only work your body. You leave the gym feeling exhausted but you leave a yoga class feeling energized, ready for the rest of the day.
