The birth of
Breezy Balance Yoga

My name is Shelly, and my employer decided to bring in a yoga teacher once a week.  I didn't have any faith that I'd like it or that I was capable of moving my body in those ways.  

Day one arrived and so did an 8 month pregnant yoga teacher!  I couldn't believe my eyes!  I knew that if she could move her body - I could learn to move mine. 

 

I suffered from regular moments of dizziness as a result of a bad car wreck in 2011.  Through weekly yoga practices I soon saw a difference in the dizziness and noticed it was happening less and less.  I also had awful pain in one of my feet that sports doctors, podiatrists and pain management doctors couldn't identify.  My yoga practice also solved the excruciating foot pain when all modern medicine could offer was pills or exploratory surgery. 

 

I'm so thankful that I was brave enough to try yoga because it has improved my life both physically and emotionally. 

I decided to share my story because at 5' 10", 260 pounds, I was not a believer, but I now enjoy holding space for anyone that might be too intimidated to walk through the doors of a traditional yoga studio.  I truly hope to pay forward some of the gifts that yoga has brought to my life.  

Join me in my studio or I'll come to your location.

My studio is built to be breezy!  Fans in every corner, soothing lights and cool temperatures. 

 

Prefer to practice at your location? 

No problem - I'll arrive, fully insured, with all the necessary items including oscillating fans.

 
Pricing varies greatly depending on location, class size, and other variables. 

Don't let money stand in your way of gaining the benefits of yoga - please contact me for more information.

Yoga has changed my life for the better in more ways than I'm able to articulate.  I never imagined being a teacher, but I now have a burning passion for sharing the amazing benefits with anyone that needs help to find their balance, alleviate pain, calm their senses, change their perspective and find joy in their lives. 
I hope to see you on the mat ~ Namaste!
