Giana Montoya

Co-owner The Shiva Yoga Shala. RYT-200. 13 years teaching Yoga.

It is an honor to share this sacred practice with you that has saved my life over and over again. I teach with an open heart and embrace my own vulnerability. I teach from my life experiences as I strive to live in alignment with the 8 limbs of Yoga. I am grateful our paths crossed and look forward to teaching you and watching your practice blossom. You deserve this.

Together we move to strengthen the unity of body, mind, and spirit. Each class offers a creative dynamic series of poses blended together with breath, music, and inspiration. A flow of energy and expression is created that strengthens your body, eases your mind, and touches your spirit.

The Shiva Yoga Shala is a safe home for transformation. Our entire team is here to serve you on your journey.

Welcome hOMe.
