Parisa Yoga Shala

Nine weeks ago, I closed a chapter in my life. I stepped back from pouring so much energy into cultivating a yoga community. This brought me great joy for four years. I’m incredibly grateful for the hundreds of students that I got to learn from and grow alongside of.

Through much reflection, I realized I was slowly burning myself out through work that meant a lot to me but was not sustainable long-term.

With bittersweet emotions, I transitioned to prioritizing my efforts toward private client work. Working 1:1 with clients and in small groups 2-4 people has been so transformative.

The depth we are able to get to in even one session has blown me away. I feel so aligned with where I’m supposed to be in this stage of life and for that I am incredibly grateful 🙏🏽

I am so incredibly grateful for the way the q***r community has supported me this past decade in cultivating my confidence in who I am and how I show up for others.

In celebration of the LGBTQIA+ community, I’m offering 50% off my private 60min Reiki Energy Healing sessions through June 30th!

Visit the Private Sessions tab at parisayogashala.com to book! Let me know if you have any questions.

Guided a sound journey for residents of the yesterday🌞🌊✨

We laughed. We cried. We sang. We hiked. We sweat. We ate amazing food. We grounded. We reconnected with our inner joy!

Above all, we held space for each other as we all were moving through big life transitions, seasons of grief and burnout.

Spending four days with this group brought me more peace + hope that I could have imagined.

Retreats are truly a special container for connection and deep reflection. Incredibly grateful for the opportunity to do this work.

Words can’t describe how lucky I feel to have these two amazing humans in my life.

Being able to curate sacred containers for connection, healing and growth with them feels like such a privilege.

It is a special feeling to be in awe of your friends. Watching them intentionally hold space for others and themselves at our retreat this weekend was so inspiring.

My heart is full and joyful. Exactly what I needed during a season of grief 🙏🏽

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

When I started PYS out of my living room in 2022, I had a dream of building a yoga community that felt intentional, supportive + accessible.

I’m forever grateful for the hundreds of students who trusted me enough to come along on this journey. Some of my favorite moments guide yoga as a teacher included

- Watching my students feel empowered to modify their practice to meet their needs
- Seeing the many ways students learned how to support themselves with props to prep for long savasanas
- Witnessing the care + support students provided to each other before + after class
- Building our confidence as a community to tap into the power of our voices through group chanting

And so much more! Sending you all so much love as you continue on your yoga journey.

I hope to stay connected with you all as I pivot in a different direction to focus my energy more on sound healing, reiki, trainings & retreats!

Had the opportunity to guide a sound journey for University of WI-Milwaukee students + staff as a part of Sexual Assault Awareness Month programming for the 3rd year in a row.

This session is always an emotional one for me. This year hit me harder than ever.

The Epstein files. Sexual assault being used as a weapon of war. Violence against the LGBTQIA+ community. And so much more has weighed heavy on my heart.

May we fiercely love + support survivors ALWAYS. May we create spaces for their voices to be heard + held. May we find ways to prevent + reduce violence in our communities. May we work hard to keep one another safe.

Oh Shanti, Shanti, Shanti
Peace, Peace, Peace 🕊️

I started teaching community yoga in June 2022. Now almost 4 years later, I’ve decided it’s time to take a step back from guiding my weekly yoga classes to focus my energy on being a student again + other exciting endeavors!

I’m so incredibly grateful for all the support so many of you have offered PYS these past few years. To express my gratitude, I’m giving away two private 1:1 reiki energy healing sessions (60min)!
