Shane enjoys extracting physiological patterns inherent in many yogic styles and techniques. She provides students with knowledgeable instructions replete of functional biomechanics of human movement; laying out postural alignment map from the most basic to the more advance. Drawing inspiration from Anusara, Scaravelli, Ashtanga Vinyasa and more, her classes are informative and yet playful.

With keen eyes on postural and movement patterns Shane constructs specific movement therapy session, with great accuracy and integration, appropriate for the specific pattern of each individual. These effective and liberating treatment strategies give you access to resolving postural distortion, enabling you to make distinct structural changes in a few short moves.

Cerissa Nyen

Cerissa has always been passionate about all dance form with a history of study in ballet and belly dancing. Although, it wasn't until she first started Yoga 6 years ago that she discovered a more subtle and powerful dance of breath. It is through the study and practice of yoga that has inspired a daily exploration of balance between being buoyant and grounded. Not only in the physical body, but also the subtle body where Prana/life force pulsates and energizes, creating a sense equanimity in the body and mind. Having completed the teachers training program at Yoga Elements Studio in 2005, Cerissa has since been instructing Yoga. Appreciating how yoga can be applied to every aspect of life and integrated throughout every level our being, her classes allow students the freedom to explore the avenues of yoga, physically spiritually and emotionally.

Nu worked for in advertising for 10 years, a materialistic way of life which made for high stress, a miserable mind and a physical sickness. She attempted to cure her self through sports, and healthy eating but nothing worked until she started routinely practicing yoga. She found health, focus, and peace of mind; life had clearly changed for the better.

“And as yoga profoundly drives me to be a happier person, yoga takes care of my life, and I became inspired to share yoga with others in return. Since taking the teacher training Program at Yoga Elements Studio, I have now taken teaching yoga as my profession. This has made me happier than I have ever thought and have become devoted to yoga for the rest of this life.”
