Shedeka (she/they) is a Licensed Master Social Worker, Certified Meditation and Yoga Teacher and Yoga Therapist in training.

She is devoted to nurturing and balancing the sweet nectar (soma) of her practice (sadhana), constantly learning, practicing, forgetting and remembering how to get out of the "way" so life can lead.

 

Shedeka's path to healing began as a quest to manage anxiety and migraine symptoms, evolving into a transformative exploration of yoga and Ayurveda. This journey not only provided relief from symptoms but unveiled a deeper understanding of truly embodying profound mind-body connection.

 

Her approach transcends symptom management. She believes true transformation lies in nurturing balance and alignment with our whole true self, harmonizing our bodies, hearts and minds. This philosophy encourages embracing life's mysteries while cultivating skills and tools for resilience and balance.
