A room to come back to.
Still Water began with a simple thought: a class can be welcoming without asking you to be someone else.
Quiet light. Ordinary people.
In 2018, Meera Shah found an old bathhouse annex just off Central Avenue. The tiles were still there. So were the tall windows. She kept both, added mats and opened the door.
Today, five teachers share the room. Some students come to build strength; others come for an hour that asks a little less of them. We leave the competition outside.
We teach yoga and Pilates, not medical treatment. If you are returning after injury, we will listen, discuss options and respect your clinician’s advice.
The people holding the room.
