Love this studio! JuMin gave an awesome class. It has been a long time since I have had a class that good! I can’t wait to come back.
Johns Creek Yoga is the fulfillment of a long-held dream for
Sheila. She began practicing yoga in 2000 with the idea that the
postures would help stretch the muscles that were contracting as
she trained for a half-marathon. What she discovered is that yoga
stretched her mind and soul as much as it did her muscles. Her
greatest pleasure is the opportunity to share the gift of yoga, and
in that spirit, she resolved to bring a studio to her community in
Johns Creek.
In addition to daily classes at the studio, she facilitates Yoga teacher training and offers retreats and workshops both locally and internationally. Sheila’s classes are focused on alignment and infused with spirit and soulful exploration of the body, but they are also light-hearted and fun. She relishes the playfulness of the practice and encourages her students to be fearless and attempt new things in a safe and supported atmosphere. As a former Professor of American literature, Sheila loves to explore the connections between philosophy, poetry, religion and yoga, often building class around a specific theme or ending with a favorite poem or quotation.
Sheila completed her 200 hour teacher training at Peachtree Yoga Center in Sandy Springs, and she completed her 500 hour training at the Kripalu Center in Massachusettes. She has trained with many incredible teachers, and she is honored to carry forth the wisdom and guidance that she received from them. She continues to take advantage of every opportunity to train and learn and will forever consider herself a student of this beautiful and ancient practice.
