a practice for any pace

Classes may be cancelled up to 6 hours before the start time, and your credit will return to your account. If you cancel within 6 hours, this is a late cancel — it kindly frees up your spot for another student, but your credit is used. Please note workshops, events & retreats have different cancellation policies.

Get in touch. We have sliding scale classes on our schedule, subsidised passes and packs, and volunteer options. Just email us and tell us what you need — no application, no reason necessary — and we'll work something out.

Single classes and packs have a 3 month expiry. Monthly passes reset on a 28-day cycle. Intro passes are valid for 21 days from first use.

Workshops and events require at least 72 hours' notice to cancel. Cancel with 72 hours or more and a credit is issued to your account — or, for recurring events like Moon Circle & Sacred Cacao, you can transfer your booking to a future date instead. Within 72 hours, cancellations are non-refundable and non-creditable. Some events may have longer notice periods — this will be clearly stated at the time of booking.

You can freeze your monthly pass for a minimum of two weeks, for as long a period as you need. There's no limit to how many times you can freeze — though if you freeze more than twice in a twelve-month period, a £10 admin fee applies to each subsequent freeze. Every time you freeze, your renewal date will update accordingly. Just email vahni@theshala.co.uk to request a freeze.

Memberships and packs are personal to you and can't be transferred — but if you'd like to treat someone, gift vouchers are available in any amount, and monthly passes include guest passes.

Yes, we do. Look for the 🤲 on the schedule. These classes operate on a sliding scale, and you choose what you can pay within that range. If cost is a barrier more generally, see the note above — we'll always find a way.

Yes — trained yoga and movement teachers get 50% off our Dynamic Flow: Experienced & Teachers Practice. Current students of our sister organisation, The Shala School of Yoga, also have their own discounts. Please email us to access either.

Full-time students, NHS staff, seniors (65+), job seekers, and people with disabilities get 20% off single classes and class packs. This doesn't apply to monthly passes. Please email us with appropriate ID and we'll apply the discount to your account.

Yes — gift vouchers can be purchased online here, valid for one year from the date of purchase.

All payments go through Momence, our booking platform — we like to keep the studio itself transaction-free, so cash isn't accepted on-site and all bookings must be made in advance. We accept card and BACS online. Where possible, please choose BACS at checkout: it's a simple way to pay directly from your bank account with no card needed, and it helps us keep card processing costs down, which in turn helps us keep prices accessible. (Note that monthly passes still auto-renew each billing cycle regardless of payment method.)

No — once a membership is cancelled, access to credits ends at the end of your current billing period. Credits cannot be transferred to another person or carried over after cancellation. If you'd like to pause rather than cancel, a temporary freeze may be available — just get in touch.
