Shelby is an amazing yoga teacher. I came in with shoulder issues, and she was very thoughtful in helping me improve mobility and reduce pain in each session. She has a calming presence and her feedback is always clear and supportive. I left every session feeling more grounded and more knowledgeable about all aspects of yoga. Highly recommended!

FAQs
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I typically ask you what your goals are and what you hope to gain from your yoga classes. This could mean specific emotions/feelings, anatomy, specific poses, yoga philosophy, etc. I will also want to know the times and days that best fit your schedule and whether or not you prefer hands-on assists.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a 200 hour certification in Vinyasa and an additional certification in Yin. I have taken continuing education courses as well to further hone my craft of teaching.
How did you get started doing this type of work?
I fell in love with yoga when I was a college student. I began practicing in my room every day, until I eventually had the goal to share the practice myself. I became certified in 2019 and couldn't be happier to do what I love every day!
