Shelby (she/her), a New Englander born and raised, started her yoga journey when she needed a new outlet coming out of graduate school. Shelby got her 200 Hour Yoga Teacher training as part of the inaugural offering at Mind the Mat Studio in Northern Virginia. After a hop across the country, she began teaching at the Live Well studio in Corvallis, Oregon, followed by offering her own teaching as owner of Rising Tide Yoga and Pilates, LLC.

Another cross-country trek brought her back to New England, where she found resumed first her practice and now her teaching. Shelby’s teaching includes vinyasa and gentle flow, with invitations to explore and play with the practice. She is currently finishing up the 300 Hour Yoga Teacher Training with the Portland Yoga Project. 

Shelby shares her home with two little black cats (Stef and Janeway) and volunteers at the Animal Refuge League of Greater Portland when not working, pursuing her yoga practice, or exploring the great Maine outdoors.
