Teacher: 5??, the shala and the location/view : 5??, the lessons:5+?? Irana is such a gifted, inspiring teacher. An embodiment of transformational yoga. Irana gave me back an energetic, engaged, happy body and mind and a practice to take back home in a span of a few weeks! Thank you. Namaste.???????????????

Amazing place with beautiful energy of its teacher Irana. She is very kind and transmits pure feelings. When I travel, I always look for the right place to practice yoga searching for specific results. I’m not always as lucky as I was when I found this place.

Yoga Shala is an amazing place for practice. Great view and amazing teachers that really helps you to deepen your practice and taking care of you holistically. An amazing schedule that brings balance and strength to you with just one day! Irana is very polite and generous, helpfull and so kind that you couldn’t even expect it!! Also Soumya is fantastic teacher so kind!! Every one who loves yoga should experience the yoga Mandala Immersion!! Very clean and harmonious space that makes you feel like home!

I was seeking for a 200 h YTT and so grateful to have found out this center among all the offers about yoga. Anapnoe Yoga Shala is a whole pleasant studio located on the heights of Naousa with a mind blowing view on the port. The Shala is managed by a very experienced, talented and charismatic Woman Irana Ji An. Irana not only teachs you her know-how about Yoga —for me true yoga more similar to the Indian teaching not a workout practice- but also living in a more conscious existence. This 200h YTT is an empowering experience and I’m so grateful to have attended it. Irana is surrounded by amazing partners Soumya for Hatha practice, the talented Noa for physical improvisation classes part of the YTT, the sweet Ioanna future yoga teacher who will encourages you in all circumstances -because 200h program is not a child’s play- and Master Chef Elda from Open Garden. Thanks to all of you for this beautiful human experience

Yoga Shala is a Jewel of a finding on Naoussa. The classes are really amazing, the teachers are wonderful and overall you will have a great experience at this studio. The owner of the studio, Irana, is really special and besides been a good teacher will inspire you spiritually. If you are looking for a yoga studio in Naoussa, I highly recommend Yoga Shala. I came for one class and loved it so much that I have been taking 2 classes per day throughout my stay.

Back on Paros for 3 weeks again my husband and I did yoga at the fabulous shala yoga Paros the teaching from Irriana Jai was just amazing who along with her talented team provided the most fabulous experience. The yoga is challenging the teaching excellent it helps both body and mind thank you very much

The Yoga Shala Paros studio is a deeply peaceful, spiritual and calming space. This atmosphere stems directly from Irana, her guidance and the wonderful set of teachers that create the studio's classes and practices. For those looking to receive genuine instruction from gifted and compassionate teachers, that treat yoga and meditation as tools for enhancing and unlocking your journey through modern life - this is simply a place you must visit. I attended the 100 TTC, and Irana and her team made the entire experience effortless from start to finish. The studio arranged airport transfers, accommodation and wonderfully healthy and delicious vegetarian (or vegan) food for the duration of my stay. Most of your days will be filled with 3-4 hours of yoga practice, an hour of meditation and 1-2 hours of theoretical instruction (covering mantras, chakras and alignment amongst other things). Irana intersperses the standard studio schedule with very meaningful and enjoyable external events, including a few sessions of sunrise beach yoga and walking meditations in Paros' wonderful hills and rugged landscapes. There isn't too much time left for exploring the island (you have about 2 hours in the afternoon), but this can be indulged on your day off (Sunday) - or by staying a few days longer around the TTC. If you are content staying in the beautiful village of Naousa and it's surrounding beaches - the afternoon breaks provide ample time for swimming and relaxing close by. Overall, my time at Yoga Shala Paros was genuinely transformational. Irana's skillful training in a combination of yoga, mantras and meditation holistically developed my practice and understanding. Whether you are someone relatively new to the path or ready to begin teaching - I cannot recommend Yoga Shala Paros enough.

I booked a 200h Integral Transformational Hatha & Vinyasa Yoga Teacher Training in Paros in September 2018. I understand why they call it transformational. When you go to this YTTC, you will not be the same person when you get back. The whole experience was magical. We had a very loving, high-vibe group that I miss already. The shala was beautiful in its simplicity, the teachers were wonderful, dedicated and professional. The chef (Elda) made amazing vegetarian/vegan food for the group (brunch + dinner). The staff at the Sunrise was incredibly friendly, and always ready to help out. We were lucky to have beautiful weather during the entire course. Irana is a dedicated, honest and incredibly skilled teacher - it was clear that her lessons were intentional, and that everything was connected. Be disciplined and open-minded and you will surely be infused with the magic of this training. You won’t just learn how to teach, you will learn how to live. Warning: you will have a very hard time going back home.

A wonderful oasis escape from the heat and business of Naoussa .We loved our classes with the owner . It is her studio and she held the space with dignity and calm . And she knows her stuff . Particularly enjoyed one particular class where we chanted through all the chakras . And then we were served tea after . We will be back next year.

I registered for the transformational yoga teacher training unsure about what to expect. Actually, it turned out to amazing ! It is very unique because not only it works on the physical side of yoga (asana practice) which you can be taught in other teacher trainings, but it can actually transform you from the inside and put you on the path of self realization and inner peace. And once you are on this path, you can never look back! The team ambiance was so positive, Irana our teacher is wonderful, so knowledgeable, so deep and so engaging and Connie our assistant is the most lovable and talented yogi ! All in all, it was a great training and a life changing experience. Namaste, Sarah
