Shelsea Acoveno

Certified Yoga Instructor



Shelsea has a true passion for teaching Yoga.

She enjoys helping her students, whether it's allowing them to chill out and let go of stress, or assisting them into a headstand!

Art, dance, and music have always be en a fun part of Shelsea's life. She feels that Yoga soulfully combines all three of these to help one reach those "ah ha moments", or moments of enlightenment.



Her Yoga teacher training was through the International Sivananda Yoga Vendanta Centre. She decided the best way for her to become an instructor would be to completely immerse herself in Yoga. Living on a Yoga Ashram for a month; Shelsea studied Asana, Meditation, Kirtan, Ayurveda, and Yoga Philosophy.

With a passion for the healing arts, she then completed her Bachelor's of Science in Alternative Medicine. During this process, she took courses in Herbology and Bontany, Nutrition and Aging, Traditional Chinese Medicine, Homeopathy, Feng Shui, Accupuncture and Accupressure. Her students enjoy the information she passes along in her classes. For example: Did you know that the pigeon pose helps liver function?

She encourages her students to discover newness in their body and mind; weaving the breath with yoga postures, and adding some intention that moves them to greatness.
