Yoga Shala Celebrates 15 Years; New Ownership

As The Yoga Shala celebrates 15 years of operation in Ridgefield, Valerie Schneiderman, owner of Yoga Shala, has announced that she is taking a sabbatical from daily teaching and pursuing other opportunities. Stan Woodman, fellow ashtangi, and owner of Kaia Yoga for the past 12 years, is buying the studio, taking on the directorship and Schneiderman’s teaching schedule. Woodman and the Yoga Shala teachers will continue the current schedule, expanding and adjusting as needed as Woodman gets to know everyone and settles in. Woodman is the only authorized level 2 Ashtanga Yoga instructor in Connecticut.
