What's in a name?

Juliet: "What's in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would still smell as sweet."

Speaking of names... we are finally changing our name! City Yoga seemed to fit us when we were downtown, but with our move to the South Hill it started to feel a little mis-matched. "Yoga Shala" is a common way to identify a place where yoga is practiced. The word "shala" has been used to mean 'school', coming from an earlier form of the word meaning 'shelter'. It is most commonly used to refer to a 'great hall' or 'place with a special purpose'. So this feels a little more fitting.

The change is coinciding with a lot of other exciting things (as you know). So far if you've been to the "Shala" :) in the last week you've seen our new entrance, and entrance hall. You've also seen our freshly painted room - with the amazing mural of Shiva drawn and painted by Buck and Jen. There is more to come so keep checking!

In the meantime:
1. Please change your settings for the website to www.spokaneyogashala.com to be active this Sunday (August 17th)
2. Please change any links you may have to the old website to the new domain name.

We will keep you posted on how the changes are progressing as they happen.
