Welcome to the Circle Yoga Shala Wisdom Community  

 

Welcome to our living space of practice, inquiry, and relationship, rooted in our Spiritual Ecology: the weaving of body, heart, mind, and lived wisdom.

This community is facilitated by Shala co-founders Matthew and Holly Krepps, alongside our lead teacher, Stela Balaban, and held as a place for sincere practice, thoughtful conversation, and deepening presence—whether you are here for training, study, or connection.

Here, we gather not to accumulate more information, but to remember ourselves, together.

A Place to Learn, Practice, and Belong

Inside the Wisdom Community, you’ll find:

  • Your enrolled trainings, programs, and course materials
  • Live and recorded talks and practices
  • Spaces to connect with teachers and fellow practitioners
  • Ongoing invitations into embodied practice and contemplative inquiry

 

Whether you are studying from home or preparing to learn with us in person, this space is here to support your unfolding—at your pace, in your season.

 

Getting Oriented

We’re glad you’re here. A few simple steps will help you settle in:

 

1. Download the App

For the smoothest experience—especially for live calls and notifications—we recommend downloading the Kajabi App from the Apple App Store or Google Play, then logging in with your account details.

 

2. Complete Your Profile

Add a photo and a short introduction so others can recognize you and connect. This helps foster a sense of presence and real relationship in the space.

 

3. Find Your Circle or Training

If you enrolled in a program or a training, click Programs in the left-hand navigation to access your materials.

 

4. Join the Conversation

Each live broadcast includes spaces for reflection and dialogue. You’re welcome to listen quietly or participate actively—both are forms of presence.

 

Ways to Engage

You might choose to:

  • Participate in a live gathering or practice

  • Join a Yoga posture practice or engage with a contemplative inquiry

  • Connect with fellow students, alumni, or teachers

There’s no need to do everything. Let this space serve what is most alive for you right now.

 

Community Culture

We hold this community with care.

Here, we practice:

  • Deep listening

  • Curiosity over certainty

  • Respect for different perspectives

  • Speaking from lived experience rather than opinion

Before posting, we invite you to pause and ask:
Does this contribute to thoughtful dialogue? Does it reflect care for the whole?

Your presence shapes the tone of this space, and we’re grateful for the way you show up.

 

Staying Connected

  • Tag or message teachers or fellow members as needed
  • Adjust notifications in your settings so you hear from us in ways that support you
  • We recommend staying subscribed to the weekly community emails for gentle orientation and updates

If you ever need support or have questions, we’re here.

 

 

We’re glad you’re part of this circle.

Take your time.
Find your rhythm.

And let this be a place where practice becomes lived.
