Salasbananas Yoga Shala & Art Studio

Salasbananas is founded on the principle that yoga and art are not separate paths but intertwined creative practices that open us to healing, presence, and transformation. The studio is an inclusive and welcoming sanctuary, devoted to community, authenticity, and creating a safe space where all who enter can breathe, move, and express freely.

Guided by Sala’s practice as both an artist and a yogi, the offerings here are rooted in self-love, authenticity, and liberation. Each class, retreat, and gathering becomes a ceremony of connection — to the body, to creativity, and to the truth of who we are.
