Baptiste Power Vinyasa

We follow the Baptiste Methodology under the guidance of the Baptiste Institute. It is a proven safe and effective system of yoga for all levels of practitioners. In a Power Vinyasa class, postures and sun salutations are linked together through conscious rhythmical breathing to create a meditative and invigorating flow. Taught in a 90 degree heated room, muscles soften and become more pliable and also the cardiovascular effects of the flow are increased. Classes are challenging and transformative and are open to all levels of practitioners. Students are encouraged to surrender rather than struggle or resist the experience and to relax with whatever comes up during the practice in the mind and body. Focus on the present moment and tap into the light and power that are within you. Be prepared to sweat like you never have before!

Basic Foundation, Slow Flow Classes & Intro to Power Vinyasa

Classes are taught in a warm room but not a hot room and in a spiritually uplifting environment. Weather permitting the doors and windows are open during class allowing the fresh sea air to waft through the room. The Foundations of the Baptitse flow are explored, making this a great class for new students or students who would like to get back to the basics. Students are encouraged to focus on ujjayi breathing, udiyana bhanda (engaging the core), and staying in the present moment.

Sunday Groove

Hot, Fun, Sweat! Music and Vinyasa. Class is always different. Experience this Groovy class knowing that it’s not traditional and on the not-so-serious side. Great for all ages. Beginners to experienced yogis will benefit from Sunday Groove’s flow and long savasana.

Yin Yoga

A slow, gentle practice suitable for all, come and try it! Regardless of your issues, this will send love to your tissues! You are not required to exert yourself or do any standing postures.

Yin Yoga tones and nourishes connective tissue (facia, joints, ligaments, and tendons) which can in turn enhance our range of motion and overall physical well-being. Postures are practiced on the floor and each is held for a period of 3-5 minutes. This is taught in a warm room with doors and windows open to the outside weather permitting.

Community

Classes are taught by teachers that are learning how to teach Baptiste-style power vinyasa and may not be certified teachers yet.

When I was visiting Mystic, I took a class with the owner, Dechan. From someone who has been practicing yoga for 20 years, she is a fantastic teacher and I would highly recommend checking out this yoga shala. She is attentive, friendly, and includes more depth to the practice than just the poses. I look forward to visiting again!
It's been a pleasure being a student and a teacher at the Shala! Such a wonderful, compassionate community. So grateful for everyone I have learned from who has helped me come back to myself again and again.

I’ve been practicing at Mystic Yoga Shala for a while now and honestly, it’s become like a second home to me. I’m there almost every day. The teachers are all incredibly talented and the practice is strong, intentional, and really empowering. You can feel the influence of Baptiste style yoga, which I love. It keeps me challenged but also grounded. The room itself is amazing. They use a steamer so there’s a lot of heat and moisture, which really helps with flexibility and makes the whole experience feel even more intense in a good way. More than anything, this place has given me a sense of community. It’s kept me strong, flexible, and connected. It really feels like family. I just love it there.

Wonderful yoga class while on vacation here. The perfect balance of an intense physical workout and a spiritual experience in Dechen's class. I wish this studio was closer to home!
We love our Yoga neighbors!

I had a wonderful experience practicing at Mystic Yoga Shala, while on vacation in Mystic. I had the chance to practice with the owner, Amy "Dechen" Zezulka, and Aaron, and they both were warm and welcoming and made me feel right at home. The same can be said with the other students in the class who gave me recommendations of other things to do while in town. I highly recommend this yoga studio!

I’m biased. I met the owner “Dechen” more than 10 years ago, she created a space to practice Yoga. Dechen allows the space to be you and grow to your own authentic self. Highly recommend you create your practice

I first started practicing at the Shala when I was 16. What sets this community apart from other studios in the area is the welcoming atmosphere and community. Whether it’s your first time or four hundredth time practicing yoga, you’ll feel right at home here.

Mystic yoga shala is where i began my yoga journey as a teenager and for years i find myself coming back to this gorgeous studio. It's one of the most beautiful spaces I've practiced in, i particularly love that they have yin classes 🙂

Dechen instructed a private class for our bachelorette weekend and it was fabulous! She was professional, fun, and helped make it a weekend to remember. Everyone talked about how much they loved the class- it was the perfect start to our day! Highly recommend Dechen and her yoga studio.

I have not been able to find yoga classes as intense or beautiful since I moved away. The instructors here were welcoming to all but really pushed me to improve. The studio itself is peaceful and the perfect setting for mindful practice.

Such a fantastic teacher - I felt amazing after our session and am looking forward to the next class! It's really nice that they offer remote classes too, so I'm able to continue my practice without interruption. They care about proper technique and safety and it shows! Highly recommended!

Love this studio! People make you feel welcomed and invited no matter your skill level. I was very nervous about going as I am quite unskilled but I really enjoy the peace, the atmosphere and the compassion of everyone I’ve met. Dechen is a wonderful teacher as are the other instructors. A really great place to learn whether online or in person.

Wonderfully inspired community
Like their neighbor simply the best if the best and offers different yoga classes and training. So considering there is a demand they really take their work seriously but also take the time to really get to know what you need. Awesome local small business. Please give them a chance as it is well deserved. 🙂

Welcoming studio, knowledgable and engaging teachers!!!
I came to the Mysic Yoga Shala after a great personal loss, and a broken back: Dechen and Jim and their Yoga saved me, and changed my life. Go there if you want great yoga, great spirit, and a push on the road to Enlightenment!

While visiting CT from NY this weekend my wife and I took two classes at Mystic yoga shala, one led by Sue MacClain and the other by Annie Chapman. Each of the teachers were top notch, giving great but gentle correction while leading a very fulfilling class. The studio is serene, spacious and clean. We cannot wait to return and highly recommend Mystic yoga shala for yogis of all levels and practices.
