Discovering yoga to support long hours working within the hospitality industry in her mid-20’s, yoga became Shelley’s GO-TO for a quick fix in both body and mind. Over the years the quick fix has transformed into a more therapeutic offering for students, supporting and promoting personal growth and healing. Shelley has seen first-hand the benefits of yoga, physically, emotionally and mentally through her own personal journey of grief and loss.
“Yoga is not about the physical, there is so much more when you let go of achieving and performing a pose, Yoga is about connecting to the internal environment – it is here where growth and magic happen.”
Certified with Level 1 and 2 from Radiant Light Yoga, Shelley also trained with Judith Hanson Lasater, Relax And Renew Restorative Training (2010), Yin Yoga Training (2015), Bliss Baby Prenatal Training (2006), and Trauma Release.
