Shelly Gessler

I'm a registered Yoga teacher (RYT) with Yoga Alliance (200 hrs) and am a certified Trauma Center Trauma-Sensitive Yoga facilitator (TCTSY-F) through the Center for Trauma and Embodiment at the Justice Resource Institute (300 hrs): about TCTSY My classes meet you where you are at and help you safely experience movement, whether this means you have practiced Yoga for many years, are a novice to Yoga, or have a history of trauma and want safely to experience movement again. I incorporate props, breathing exercises, and meditation when appropriate and with your approval. Having sixteen years of experience practicing Yoga, I know a Yoga practice, like each of us, is dynamic and may change from year-to-year. My mission is to offer safe and collaborative sessions that inspire you to accept and challenge yourself while meeting your personal goals for this practice. Besides Yoga, I am a mental health counselor and love to spend time running, being in nature, and with friends and family...and, of course, practicing Yoga! Feel free to reach out and schedule an appointment.
