the shala yoga & pilates centre.


Recommended Posts

Hello all,

I just wanted to talk about a wonderful Yoga and Pilates centre based in West Norwood that I started to attend at the start of February.

Having put on a few pounds after christmas and feeling a bit sluggish at the beginning of the year, my resolutions a distant memory, somebody told me of a new yoga centre that had started in the heart of West Norwood.

Eager to check it out I had a quick look at their website and discovered that The Shala an already well-established yoga studio was run by a husband and wife team and was offering a 30 day unlimited pass for ?40.00!

That was my motivation, to get fit, meet people and all for a fantastic price. The first day I was nervous I entered the beautiful refurbished Victorian Warehouse and immediately put to ease by the lovely Gingi Lee who owns and teaches at The Shala, truthfully my first lesson was a challenge but I made it through with the guidance and positive energy which filled the studio from the teacher and other students. Five weeks later and I'm hooked, four classes a week and the difference in my strength, mobility and general well being is astounding, I no longer slouch, my energy levels have risen and the excess poundage is steadily slipping away.

I have read a few threads about other fantastic classes in the area and always keen to check out other peoples recommendations so here is mine, go check out The shala: www.the shala.co.uk and you won't look back!

    • The EDF is social media, and it seems to have met its goals of connecting and engaging the local community. The 'media' part isn't a reference to the BBC, it refers to 'a substance that something grows in, lives in or moves through' as a plural of 'medium'. In the sense that the 'something' is people, then it does the job. Whe it comes to the BBC, the 'something' is information. For the most part the contribution has been positive. However, the downsides are driven by anonymity, and have allowed the worst of human nature to surface.
    • I'm pretty sure it was still Le Chardon until 2008, maybe later. They also had The Green on East Dulwich Road, which is now Kokum. Service could be a bit 'French' in both places, but the food was good. It then had an incarnation selling quiches or something similar. It was a bit esoteric. The place where everything went against them was Saucy Chip, which was the old Curry Cabin. It's now Joe & The Juice. SE22 Bar was there before Franklin's, which I reckon opened just before the Millennium. I've got a vague recollection an (East) Dulwich Brasserie/Bistro or something similar around there at some point. The photo of the Dulwich Cafe above reminded me of when they changed the name and sign to 'Cafe Dulwich' to reflect how the area was going upmarket.  They didn't change the menu or decor at all. Just the sign.
    • 😥 Sorry, somehow my post above was duplicated instead of being merged with this one, and I can't delete all of the duplicated bits. Many moons ago, we used to have fairly regular "Forum Drinks", where forum members could meet up and get to know each other in real life. We met in a different local pub each time, and sometimes had sticky labels with our forum names on. A lot of those original people have moved away, but it has occasionally crossed my mind that it would be nice to start that up again and be able to put more faces to names (not that I ever remember either faces OR names)  Or maybe it is still happening but I'm kept out of the loop 🤣  Many of those pubs we used to go to have now changed out of all recognition, of course. Also there seem to be more families with young children in the area, for whom evening drinks would be difficult. I don't have time to do it, but if anybody else was up for organising it I'd be happy to help. It mainly involves deciding on a date, I imagine trying to get a rough idea of how many people would be interested,  and then booking a suitable sized space in a local pub and telling people about it on here  I don't know how it was arranged before, but maybe some of the longer standing forum users may know. I just used to turn up!
    • Yup, it's 15 year project (I think some elements of it started a year or so ago).  Imagine how annoyed Earl will be when they find out that the new Teaco superstore planned has underground parking for 530 cars....
