Instructor & Staff Information


Shelly Shern Various forms of hatha yoga and many inspiring teachers along the way have shaped Shelly's 10-plus year study of yoga philosophy. Through exposure to Iyengar, Ashtanga, and Kriya yoga lineages, Shelly discovered a practice that is graceful, flowing and will encourage a deeper awareness of body, mind and spirit. The breath leads the body into long held poses, creating a path to discovery of our own unique self. We need to respect our own experience and grow within that space in order to meet and embrace our true divine self. Shelly's love of asana practice and her desire to share her passion for yoga brought her to the Yoga Center of Minneapolis where she completed the 200-Hour Yoga study program and the Yoga Bonding® Postnatal Teacher Training. She looks forward to teaching and sharing yoga with you and your little "Yoginis." Shelly trained at Golden Bridge Yoga in Los Angeles with renowned Yoga Teacher and Educator, Shakta Kaur Khalsa, founder of Radiant Child Yoga Program. As her teacher shared with her students, Shelly believes children are big souls in little bodies just waiting to absorb the joy of yoga philosophy. We have a special generation of compassionate and generous world citizens that needs to be nurtured and respected. Shelly's classes are playful and light with an emphasis on learning and living the yoga path. Her classes go beyond the physical teachings by introducing all eight limbs of yoga through story, song, creative expression as well as asana. Her goal is to encourage all children to allow their divine lights to shine and to maintain their natural radiance throughout their lives. 3 Things That Make Her Happy: • Traveling to exotic places with my husband, Naveen and son, Sanjay. • Sanjay's cheeky little laugh. • Admiring my garden's persistence in returning each spring after such hard winters.
