BIO:
Irina Shlain, A.P., is a yoga instructor, labour doula, and licensed acupuncture physician in the state of Florida (License # AP3560).
After obtaining her undergraduate BBA in Economics and Finance from Temple University in Philadelphia (2005) Irina quickly realized her true interest lay in alternative medicine and healing.
After relocated to FL from NJ in 2008 to pursue yoga therapy she became a certified yoga instructor via Yoga Alliance in 2011.
Irina continued her interest in holistic medicine and decided to pursue acupuncture and oriental medicine as her specialty. After completing the Oriental Medicine Masters program at Atlantic Institute of Oriental Medicine in Fort Lauderdale, FL in August 2014, she received the licensure from the State of Florida in September 2014.
After several years of practice in Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine, Irina became a mama to a baby boy named Elijah. This shifted her interest and practice in many ways, and eventually led to her obtaining certification to become a labor doula.

A Word on YOGA:
Private and small classes available, all levels are welcome. I teach an Ashtanga based Vinyasa flow with guided meditation, bringing mind, body and spirit together to bring balance and inner peace.
Vinyasa flow is an asana practice that combines breath, mind and body to detoxify and build fire from within. Strengthen your body, release stress, practice stillness and learn body alignment with proper guidance.
