The Love Roots Yoga Shala Cooperative became the owner of the Love Roots Yoga Shala in June, 2019, when Chloe Copeland, the former owner, moved out of state with her family. The members of the Cooperative include yoga teachers and practitioners of yoga whose goal is to keep the Shala open and available to the community.
​
Chloe Copeland established Love Roots Yoga Shala in 2016. The pine trees of the forest inspired Chloe to name her business Love Roots Yoga Shala since the trees teach us to grow and rise up by first planting strong roots. Her philosophy of being strongly rooted in Love in her day-to-day life and expressed through her yoga spiritual devotions were the inspiration behind Love Roots Yoga Shala — a space born out of Love, and created for people to plant seeds, deepen roots, and rise to their highest potential. Shala means “Home” in Sanskrit.
It is our intention to carry Chloe’s vision and philosophy forward to share with all who enter Love Roots Yoga Shala.
