Crown’s Philosophy

At Crown Yoga Shala, our philosophy is rooted in the ancient wisdom of yoga, fostering a journey of self-discovery and holistic well-being. We believe in nurturing a welcoming community where practitioners of all levels can explore yoga as more than just physical exercise, but as a transformative practice that integrates mind, body, and spirit. Through mindful movement, meditation, and deep relaxation, we guide our students towards inner balance, vitality, and a profound connection to their true nature. Below is the foundation of our philosophy.

  • We believe yoga is a holistic practice that nurtures both the mind and body and soul—fostering greater inner wisdom.

  • We believe mindful practices strengthen individuals.

  • We believe these stronger, more mindful individuals and better neighbors, and create and cultivate more cohesive communities and stronger societies.

Building upon our foundational philosophy, our next set of principles emphasizes mindfulness, rest, community, personal growth, and self-care. We encourage students to approach their practice with intention and presence, fostering an environment where each individual's journey is honored. Through embracing patience, self-awareness, and openness, we create a space that supports both personal transformation and collective healing.

The Shala

Crown Yoga Shala is located in the historic Cascade Village center’s old school Cascade Bowl building, built in 1959. Our studio features a welcoming entry way, a temperate (non-heated) practice studio as well as a treatment room in the back of the space. The studio opened in 2023. View the gallery>>
