What People Are Saying
“Sheila (Soul Family Yoga) is an absolutely masterful yoga instructor. She can capture the energy of the Zoom room (in-person) and present what is needed just at that time. Our chair yoga group has a few people with severe knee pain and she is able to suggest further accommodations to those with pain. As a person who has practiced yoga before developing Arthritis, Chair yoga is a way to practice while being supported by a seat yet receiving the same strengthening as a regular yoga standing session. Sheila is very skilled and trained in Chair and uses it in ways I have never seen in a session. She also has a calming presence that makes everyone feel at peace. Thanks for sharing your gift, the many healing gifts of Soul Family Yoga and Chair Yoga with us!.”

“Sheila’s Soul Family Yoga sessions provide me with individualized instructions and each session is challenging enough for my current skill level.”

“Sheila’s chair yoga class in LSH’s senior community center tailors each class to the participants wants, needs, and abilities. She not only provides a welcoming, calming, and restorative environment, but also takes the time to get to know each person in the class. She is able to adapt the poses and flow to address each person’s physical needs. Participants love her class and come back consistently for a few quiet moments and restoration each week. I am so grateful care and knowledge that she brings to the center and share with our members!”

PGW invited Soul Family Yoga to lead two Yoga classes during a companywide event called Winter Fit Fest. Normally held live, it has been virtual for the past two years.
While it’s never difficult finding talented Wellness class instructors, it’s been a challenge finding ones who have embraced and mastered the technology and environment of a virtual presentation. Mother daughter duo, Sheila and Shannon, of Soul Family Yoga, are truly exceptional. The environment was beautiful and well-presented with good lighting and quality audio.
The first class was cleverly orchestrated with Sheila and Shannon presenting together; demonstrating standing and seated options of each pose at the same time.
Shannon’s Yoga for Kids class was also well presented with easy and fun verbal instruction that even the adults enjoyed.
I look forward to working with Sheila and Shannon in person someday. Until then, I know that I can rely on them for quality virtual classes that our Wellness program can be proud of presenting.
