Shelby is excited to offer her 2nd round of Yoga Teacher Training (YTT) in 2025! Her own experience in YTT was life changing; her crippling anxiety disappeared, she discovered peace, and she had an outlet for leadership (plus her YTT led her to create what is now Just Be Holistic Wellness Center!). You have the opportunity to experience this too!
Shelby's Experience
After completing her Bachelor’s degree in Psychology, specializing in Eating Disorders and Addictions, Shelby graduated in 2018 from West End Yoga in Allentown, PA with a 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Certificate in Vinyasa Yoga. Before graduating, she opened Shelbyoga LLC, which was a mobile yoga business! She started with $1 and a full tank of gas, and in 3 months, grew to a full yoga studio with sold out classes. The following year, she led her first 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training alongside her first yoga teacher. In 2020, she moved her studio online for a short period of time before focusing on Reiki sessions over Zoom. The next 4 years were full of studies, including certifications in energy work, complex trauma recovery coaching, embodiment coaching, Shamanic healing, and moving to Royersford, becoming licensed in Massage Therapy, and opening Just Be. Shelby has specialized in emotional trauma recovery since 2018 and has found that somatic movement and embodied emotional work is central to full recovery from any physical condition, mental health concern, spiritual expansion, and emotional eloquence. After teaching in-person again at CoreFit prior to opening the studio at Just Be, Shelby is excited to be back into the YTT sphere! And she's excited to meet whoever this program is here for. Could it be you?
Purpose of this YTT
Your Yoga Teacher Training at Just Be will give you the education and experience to use yoga as the foundation for emotional trauma recovery. This program has 3 unique aspects: 1. Trauma-informed yoga (of course!), 2. Somatic movement and embodied emotions, and 3. Holistic Business Coaching. Trauma-Informed Yoga Shelby’s experience diving deep into trauma-informed practices, then applying it to yoga makes this the perfect program for aspiring yoga teachers who want to hold the same healing space for their own students. Somatic Movement and Embodied Emotions As part of a trauma-informed program, Shelby includes training in somatic movement and embodied emotions, meaning you will be able to lead somatic movement classes, including somatic movement and embodiment meditations for supporting the relief of chronic pain, emotional expression, and spiritual growth. Holistic Business Coaching Shelby is a Holistic Business Coach and has a 9-month Holistic Apprenticeship for students to receive 4 holistic certifications and open their own businesses (including registering an LLC, accounting, marketing, website development, and more). She has helped many people open their own holistic businesses since 2021. This experience comes into your YTT experience as Shelby will provide Holistic Business Coaching for every level of yoga teacher expression: from teaching online to opening your own studio, including app development and multi-month programs. The intention for this program is to take any student, at any level, and equip them with the skills to meet their yoga goals. Because this YTT is taught from a trauma-informed approach, then as a student you are also held in a safe space. Shelby entered her YTT in a ball of anxiety and left completely changed and free. If attending a training makes you anxious or insecure, you will be supported in a safe environment. You are invited to share these concerns in your application. No one is too old, too young, too new, too advanced, or too anything for this program. Yoga is for everyBODY. (This program is not registered with The Yoga Alliance.)
