Shirley Smithson
Certified Yoga Instructor
Shirley taught children in public schools for over 25 years. She has a strong belief in celebrating and nuturing the creative expressions and gifts of each individual. She believes in incorporating the expressive arts into what is experienced in learning.
In her years of teaching she found that when individuals are engaged completely in what they are discovering; body, mind and spirit; that a deep sense of connection and joy evolves. This experience led her to training in yoga.
Yoga offers a base for learning, sharing and growing no matter
what one is interested in or what age or background they are. Yoga
quiets the mind, brings focus, and offers a pathway towards a
healthy happy body. Mind and body become one. Yoga supports balance
and harmony in ones connection with the world and with the self.
From yoga a sense of confidence and creative presence arise. Shirley
wants to share the opportunity of yoga with others.
