Shelby Baxter

Shelby grew up in Connecticut and bounced around New England while starting her family and landing in Nashville in 2013. A retired runner, active mother of two, and avid cook she enjoys creating whether that be in the kitchen or on the mat. Her journey is steeped in self study and discovery, something she loves to share with others looking to go a little deeper into human being rather than human doing.

Shelby began studying yoga in 2015. She came to the mat looking to move and found so much more. She received her 200 RYT in 2017 and has been teaching since. In her classes you will find more than just asana, or the physical limb of the practice. Pranyama (breath work), Mudra (symbolic hand gesture), Yama (self study), and Niyama (spiritual discipline) are all carefully curated throughout her challenging but welcoming classes. Movement is measured and challenging, cues are meticulous and the goal is connection; the true function of yoga to “yoke” or “unite” the facets of the self in search of connection to source. Her hope is that when you leave her classes you will feel challenged, empowered and balanced.
