YOGA AND ME: A LOVE STORY
​
​
When I first tried yoga as a high school freshman, I instantly fell in love with it! I was thrilled to discover new ways to move my body and experience the mental clarity and focus it brought me.
​
My passion for yoga led me to become a certified yoga teacher at the Sadhana Yoga School in Fiji in 2015. I was eager to share this incredible practice with others.
​
In 2018, I deepened my knowledge and teaching skills by earning my RYT-500 certification from the School Yoga Institute in Peru.
​
Health and wellness have always been important to me. As a certified plant-based nutritionist from Cornell University and a trauma-informed yoga teacher, I enjoy helping others explore the incredible benefits of living a compassionate vegan lifestyle.
My goal is to inspire and enlighten others to make conscious choices that benefit not only their mind, body and spirit but also the environment.

With Gratitude,
Shakeera

"I’ve had the pleasure of practicing yoga with and being taught by an extraordinary teacher, Shakeera Kelly. Mindfulness is what best describes her teaching. She feels exactly what your body needs and how far you can and should go, moving boundaries bit by bit and going further than you ever thought possible. Moreover, she has the greatest, most positive attitude to life, lights up any room and lifts the spirits of everyone around her. She combines her teaching with nutrition that make for a complete mind and body revamp. I can’t recommend Shakeera enough!"
Malin Svensson
"I had the privilege of going to the Bahamas for a fitness retreat where Shakeera was teaching. As soon as I met her, we had this instant connection. She is an absolute ray of sunshine, and if you ever come across her, you won't forget her! It's also safe to say, I have never laughed so much in a yoga class."
Maiken Ariana
"Shakeera is one of the most naturally gifted yogi’s, that I have ever met. Not only does she have a warm and compassionate approach, she also has the ability to ensure your practice is precise and catered to your body. I have been to many all-levels yoga classes and have found them either intimidating or hard to follow. Shakeera has found the balance of creating an inviting friendly atmosphere whilst also being able to fully focus on the clarity of instructions for each posture."
Rob Greenberg
"I have been practicing yoga with Shakeera for
6 years. During this time
she has helped me take my practice to new levels by pushing me outside my comfort zone, always introducing new moves and techniques to make me better each time.
With Shakeera’s spiritual instruction, it is always an amazing mind/body experience."
Irene Sirtori
"I would highly recommend taking a yoga class from Shakeera. She challenged me and made me feel comfortable doing poses that I have never attempted before. She is thorough in her instruction and you will leave her class feeling better than when you arrived. I appreciate her energy and motivation throughout, as she makes difficult poses seem fun."
