Shelly's overall theme to her classes is Aging Well.

She incorporates movements that help people stay in motion as they age. She goes slowly and gives options, so you don't have  to be flexible or experienced with yoga.  She wants her students to feel connected to their bodies and to give their minds a rest. 

Although Shelly is new to teaching yoga (she was part of the first Yoga Teacher Training Program at Shanti), she has twenty years of teaching experience. She is excited to join the community at Shanti as a teacher, and you may see her in other classes as a student. Lifelong learning is one of her goals.
