SHELLEY LYONS

Discovering yoga to support long working hours within the hospitality industry in her mid to late 20’s, yoga became Shelley’s GO-TO for a quick fix in both body and mind. Over the years her love and passion for yoga has transformed into a therapeutic offering, promoting and supporting students’ personal growth, healing and wellbeing. Throughout her years of sharing yoga, Shelley has seen first hand the benefits of the practice, not just physically but emotionally and mentally, and has experienced the practical benefits through her own personal journey of grief and loss.

“Yoga is not just about the physical body and creating shapes, there is so much more when you let go of achieving and performing a pose, Yoga is about connecting to the internal environment - and gaining a better understanding of belief systems, conscious and unconscious patterning, trauma, and an understanding of how the body “works” - it is here where personal growth and self enquiry happens.”

Sharing over 9500 teaching hours, including workshops and retreats, and coupled with her knowledge in anatomy and Ayurveda, Shelleys’ classes are deeply nourishing and offer the practitioner the invitation to journey beyond the asana, intimately meeting all parts of themselves and learning the art of deep listening.
