Classes are taught by certified Baptiste Teachers who have trained and studied with Master Yogi Baron Baptiste. His best selling book, "Journey into Power" is the blueprint for our classes. Taught in a 90 degree heated room, muscles soften and become more pliable. Strong emphasis on conscious breathing. Be prepared to sweat.

Hi 👋
My name is Dechen. Dechen of the Shala like Frodo of the Shire. My birth name is Amy but I like my Jedi Master name given to me by my Lama in 1999 when I took refuge in Buddhism. ☸️
I started teaching yoga in 1996 and opened up the first yoga studio on the East end of Long Island in 1998. I opened up the Mystic Yoga Shala in 2006.
Yoga practice changed my life and continues to make my life better so I love sharing it with others. I’m always a student first so I am the owner of an Affiliate Baptiste studio which means I get coaching and inspiration from my teacher Baron Baptiste.
I highly recommend training with him. I love to spend time with people who are inspirational and help me live my best life. Our classes are challenging however life is challenging and the skills you learn on your mat will help you navigate life more gracefully. I’m definitely not perfect. I am a work in progress and I am grateful for all of my teachers and especially the teachers I study with at my studio.

The goal of a yoga practice is Self Love. For 20 years, we have been saying that the Shala (school in Sanskrit) is a place where we return to love.

It starts with integration. We bring our attention to breathing consciously so our mind and body come together. We are reminded to keep coming back to one breath at a time so the mind and body feel safe and connected.

We are encouraged to practice with kindness and compassion. By learning how to treat ourselves well, we can then treat others with the same tolerance, love, and respect we have for ourselves.

Meet Jonell.

A recent graduate of our YTT 2026 class, pictured here assisting students with her gentle, caring touch. For students who give us permission, touch can be an empowering experience in a yoga class.

Do you enjoy hands-on assists, or do you prefer to practice without them? We’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments.
