Certified Yoga & Meditation Instructor
Shelley Herlihy has been teaching classical Hatha Yoga for over 20 years. Her approach is rooted in the timeless truth that the body is not an object to be forced into aesthetic postures, but an energetic vessel to be listened to, softened, and nourished through conscious breath control.
Her extensive formal study includes both 200-hour and 300-hour comprehensive teacher certifications completed through the esteemed Yama Studios, representing 500 hours of rigorous foundational and advanced training in asana anatomy, pranayama science, and yogic philosophy. To deepen her ability to guide students inward, Shelley also pursued and completed an intensive 250-hour Meditation Facilitator training.
Beyond the physical mat, Shelley lives the devotional path of Bhakti Yoga. As the vocalist and leader of the kirtan musical group Localokah, she understands the profound healing power of sound vibration. Each of her classes weaves this spirit of love, inclusion, and sacred mantra into a gentle tapestry that leaves students deeply replenished.
