LHG Creative

Shayna Skarf (E-RYT-200, PhD, MA) discovered her passion for yoga during a year of service work in India. She attended her first Forrest Yoga class in New York and was struck by its transformative power. She studied with Ana Forrest, completing the Foundation Teacher Training in 2014, the Advanced Teacher Training in 2017, and a Trauma-Informed Yoga Teacher Training with Exhale to Inhale in 2018. Shayna relishes working with all levels, ages and shapes and firmly believes yoga is for everyBODY. She has taught in women's shelters, high schools, corporate offices, and community centers and currently teaches both studio and private yoga in Brooklyn. She considers this work to be not only a profession, but a sacred calling and is honored to share the gifts of yoga with her students. Shayna encourages students to tap into their true power and authenticity and to carry those gifts off the mat and into their lives. Her yoga “superpower” is adapting classes to students of all levels and creating a safe and comfortable environment for deep, embodied exploration.
