Bala Shala

I cannot say enough amazing things about Staci and Bala Shala! First of all, the space is adorable! Staci has done such a great job of bringing this space lots of fun and light with colorful dreamcatchers and stuffed animals (with yoga poses). It is perfect for a kids yoga studio — there’s always something to grab the babies’/kids’ attentions! Second, Staci is a fantastic yoga teacher. She gets it. She makes yoga very understandable and fun. My son has been going here since he was 15 months old and now he’s 26 months and has really grown in his yoga practice — downward and upward dog, L-​dogs, balancing, and hopping are no problem. I swear he will be doing headstands soon! Finally, Staci is just a warm, loving, kind, wonderful person — a true yogini in mind and heart. We absolutely love and support her and it’s no wonder Bala Shala has become so loved in Laguna!

Bala Shala is a beautiful studio in Laguna Beach. I have been going to Jenny’s pre-​natal classes for the past few months and I couldn’t be happier with her teaching and the way I feel during and after class. She is so attentive and sweet and I love her classes.
The studio is very cozy and intimate and has their own parking which is a big plus in Laguna Beach!
Definitely a must place for all pregnant mommy’s!

My girls ages 4,6, and 8 all love going to Bala Shala. You can feel the amazing energy of the space as you walk through the doors and are greeted by the beautiful handcrafted dream catchers in the window and Staci’s warm and welcoming smile. Staci has an amazing contagious energy that resinates in all of her interactions with my children. She uses hand crafted animals, fun games, and a child centric focus to make yoga fun and accessible to kids. My girls love the weekly classes and can’t wait for the week long summer camp. Bala Shala is definitely a gem in the community.

Bala Shala is a beautiful space created by a beautiful lady! It’s very friendly for moms — with ample, free parking (a rarity Laguna Beach) — as well as a changing table and bathroom inside. The mom and baby classes are super fun, and Staci has lots of unique toys to keep an infant happy and occupied. She is also very loving and enthusiastic — my son lights up each time he sees her. I think it’s important for moms of all ages to surround themselves with positive, supportive women — and this is an environment that provides that nurturing energy!
