Genessis LeBato

Yoga Instructor

The Pilates Room and Bodies In Motion Studio

Being an avid gardener and herbalist, Genessis found yoga through studying Ayurveda.Most of her life, she struggled with emotional and mental incapacities. Moving to Florida in 2015 helped some, adopting her emotional support puppy and best friend helped a lot. As she searched for answers to further help her depression and anxiety disorders, meditation found its way into her routine. After attempting a few yoga classes, and finding that they just didn’t resonate right away, she was encouraged by her therapist & hubby to dig deeper to find a better way. In 2018, with her dog, she enrolled in yoga teacher training to better understand the true meanings of the yogic path. There she fell in love with the teachings.Wanting to share this new love of movement and to help others with similar life blocks, she founded Utsava Beach Yoga – which is still going today.Hearing of the beach classes, she was invited to teach at Shore Bliss Yoga where she discovered that through variations and a little creativity, anyone can do any post safely – which has become key to her teachings. This began her renewed purpose of bringing yoga, in all its forms, to each individual.In 2020 she took ownership of Shore Bliss Yoga and Wellness creating a safe practice space which was truly non-judgmental, totally zen and welcoming. Although those doors have closed, Genessis now brings those gifts to a new space and wellness/ fitness family.Currently studying to receive her 500RYT, Genessis is a E200RYT with certifications in Yin, Restorative, Chair and Limited Mobility, Yoga for Healthy Aging, Meditation & Yoga For All training. Future plans include a Yoga Therapy certification and Ayurveda certification.“My biggest failures have been my greatest successes,” is what you will often hear her saying. “I failed to do many things, but I survived. I fail to believe there are limits to my abilities, so I keep learning. I failed to stop searching for ways to share my gifts and that has led me to where I am today.”
