About Shanell Lavery

Hi, I’m Shanell, a yoga + meditation teacher who specializes in stress relief, mindful movement, and making wellness feel approachable (and fun). I lead private sessions for corporate teams, bachelorette parties, birthdays, and community events, and I always customize the vibe, whether you need to decompress or dance it out on your mat. I love creating inclusive spaces where anxious overthinkers, beginners, and skeptics all feel welcome. I also offer sound bowls, breathwork, and guided meditations to support a deeper reset. Let’s create a session your group will still be talking about next week.

Shanell was great! We had her do a yoga session for my friend’s bachelorette and it was perfect start to our morning. She gave great tips and ideas for things to do when we are stressed or anxious, and was a great instructor!

She was incredible!!! So friendly and easy to relate to and me and my girlfriends just loved her. We felt like completely new women after our practice. I will forever remember her session!

Our group of 4 had a private, outdoor yoga class with Shanell while on a “mom’s gone mild” trip. Shanell was very personable, relatable, and was great at reading the room. She matched our vibe perfectly and offered a combination of active yoga sequences along with meditation offerings, tailoring the time to the level of experience the group collectively had. She offered modifications in a gentle way. She was responsive to messages leading up to our date, offered mat rentals, if needed, and set a great tone to the end of a peaceful weekend. I highly recommend her!

Shanell was fantastic to work with! Communication was fast and easy, she was super punctual and friendly day of. We booked a beach yoga session for a bachelorette party. We had a very diverse group experience wise but everyone left feeling great about the yoga session and super relaxed!

Shanell was fantastic! I would highly recommend booking her for a yoga class. She was responsive, professional, and arrived on time. During the session, she was very informative and actively engaged with the class. She created a peaceful and welcoming atmosphere while teaching. We’re so glad we booked her and will definitely be inviting her back for future sessions.

Shanell joined my family and I, leading us through a gentle yoga session and sound bath for my birthday. From the moment she arrived (actually from the moment we started communicating), I loved her energy. She was exactly what we needed to wrap up a ladies' weekend - mind, body, and soul were rejuvenated for all. I've already hired her again for this week while my bestie is visiting. 🙏🏼🧘🏼‍♀️🫶🏼

Shanell was nothing short of phenomenal! We booked private yoga for my friend’s bachelorette weekend, and her class was a blast. She is relatable, accommodating, and easy-going. Highly recommend!

Shanell went above and beyond in every possible way. I hosted a weekend-long bachelorette party for my best friend with 13 guests, and her yoga class was truly one of the highlights of the entire weekend. From the moment she arrived, Shanell brought an incredible energy that was both grounding and joyful—exactly the vibe we didn’t even know we needed. She customized the session perfectly to match our group’s preferences and made everyone feel included and comfortable, regardless of their yoga experience. What really stood out, though, were the thoughtful touches she added—surprises just for the bride that made the experience feel personal and unforgettable. Every single guest raved about the class afterward. If you’re looking for a yoga instructor who’s professional, intuitive, and deeply invested in creating something memorable, I can’t recommend Shanell highly enough.

We recently had a corporate meeting and invited Shanell, a yoga/meditation specialist, for two sessions on separate days. It was a wonderful experience. Shanell was fantastic with communication, making the planning process smooth and stress-free. She arrived on time for both sessions and was highly professional. The sessions were amazing. Shanell's knowledge and expertise in yoga and meditation were clear, and they guided our guests through the practices with ease and confidence. The atmosphere was calming and rejuvenating, providing a much-needed break from the usual corporate environment. Shanell was easy to work with and made sure everyone felt comfortable and included.
