Bala Yoga

After 15 incredible years, our Bala journey has come to a close.

Despite our best efforts, negotiations to reopen did not move forward, and Bala Yoga will not be reopening. It’s not the outcome we hoped for, but we’re deeply grateful for the journey and the community that made it so special.

From our first classes to thousands of hours shared in movement, laughter, and stillness, Bala has always been more than a studio, it’s been a home. To every student, teacher, and friend who showed up over the years, thank you. Your energy and love will always be part of this community.

While our doors have closed, the spirit of Bala lives on through our teachers and students who will continue to create, collaborate, and share practice in new ways.

We’ll be reaching out directly to all active students with options to transfer their remaining classes or memberships to a local studio, so you can continue your practice and stay connected to this community.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for 15 years of movement, connection, and love.

With deep gratitude,
Mike and the Bala Yoga Family

🧘 Winners drawn on September 1 — let’s close out summer grounded, inspired, and connected.

Calling all dads! 💪 Join us tomorrow at 10AM for a special Father’s Day Flow — a fun, family-friendly yoga class to celebrate you. 👨‍👧‍👦 Bring the kids, bring the crew — all are welcome. Let’s flow together! 💫

Meet our instructor, Sharman, who teaches Mondays at 4:30pm and Thursdays at 6:00pm. ✨

Helping people discover the benefits yoga can have on their overall well-being is why I teach. I have first-hand experience how practicing yoga can lead to becoming more resilient, compassionate, and grounded, and I became an instructor to help others uncover this for themselves.

I grew up in the Seattle area, lived in New York City and Los Angeles, and last year I returned to Kirkland after an 18-month road trip. I’ve practiced yoga around the U.S. and abroad and consider Bala Yoga a truly special community to be a part of.

Come see me in class where I combine Baptiste, Ashtanga, and Awakening methodologies with my own flair and fun! ✌️💛

Happy New Year! This year you may see this mantra in the studio. Less is not a downgrade, nor is it scarcity. It’s a place we can refocus and set intention from. This year, we’re challenging ourselves to:

Do less, but with intention
Consume less, but high quality
Work less, but more focused
