Testimonials

Shelley is an intuitive, wise and kind teacher of the mind, body and soul.   I have practiced yoga for a number of years on a physical level but her lessons have been deeply healing  both mentally and spiritually too. Many times after her yoga classes, I feel inspired and my heart and body are eased.  Shelley’s classes are magical for me and I am eternally grateful for her.

Shelley is an incredible teacher and yogini. She embodies and lives the wisdom of yoga in every aspect of her life, leading by pure example. Learning from her has enriched my practice and my teaching style immensely. Should I ever require assistance or help in any area of yoga, she would be my first person to reach out to. I cannot recommend her teachings enough. 

Shelley also goes above and beyond to help her students in every way she can. She has one of the biggest hearts I have ever come into contact with, and simply being in her presence is calming, soothing, and inspiring. Do yourself a favor and sign up for her classes, or even better, her yoga teacher training. You will feel supported and nurtured through the entire process.

Shelley has been my yoga teacher since approximately 2010.  Her approach to teaching is her approach to life; open hearted, graceful and inspiring.  I have learned so much from Shelley over the years in terms of my personal practice as well as my practice as a yoga instructor.  I love the way Shelley evokes a sense of the traditional roots of tantric yoga traditions; weaving modern and ancient practices together.  I feel that I level up my knowledge every time I am in her presence.  I recently completed a teacher training with Shelley and I feel that this experience was beneficial both for my career success as well as my personal growth.  If you are looking for a teacher who will offer mentorship and one-on-one personal development, there is really no one else out there like Shelley.

My Trainings with Shelley Tomczyk.... words cannot explain the value and life changing experience she has offered me through her retreats. Her trainings changed my life for the better in so many ways, yes my body through the yoga asana. But mostly my mind and soul, her guidance is so much more than just Yoga. I highly recommend her retreats and trainings for anyone looking to deepen their spiritual, mental, or physical abilities. Her vast experience can be felt through a simple conversation with her, her grace and kindness felt with every word.

​When I started practicing yoga in Shelley's classes, my yoga practice transformed. I suddenly had a much deeper understanding of and connection to the poses and their origins as well as their physical and emotional health benefits. Not only this, but Shelley's teaching illuminated where I could improve how I executed the various poses, whether it was adjusting alignment or adapting the difficulty of a pose to suit my abilities. With a greater understanding of how and, just as importantly, why to make those adjustments, I reduced my risk of injury while becoming physically stronger and more spiritually connected to my practice.
