The reason Sunshine is your favorite Yoga Studio is our amazing teachers!
Meet Shante' Russ:
Hi! I’m Shanté and I’m a certified yoga instructor as well as an aerial yoga instructor and sound meditation practitioner. I’ve been married to my wonderful husband for nearly 20 years and we have two amazing kids and the sweetest English bulldog. In addition to being an instructor at Sunshine, I’ve also been a romance author for the last 13 years and have written over 60 books. I also run a crochet business where I make all kinds of custom crochet things from cozy blankets to stylish wearables. I also do live sound baths on TikTok. I was first introduced to yoga after giving birth to my daughter nearly 19 years ago. I stumbled across a Yoga for Weight Loss DVD at a store and purchased it. I had no clue at the time that yoga would impact my life so much. Before finding the studio, I discovered aerial arts while researching for a book I was writing. One day I got an email for a Groupon for an aerial yoga class at Sunshine Yoga Shack and I immediately purchased it and booked my first class. And I was instantly hooked. I came for the aerial (which I absolutely love), but I stayed because of the yoga. I’ve tried so many other types of workouts, but I’m always drawn back to yoga. It wasn’t until I found Sunshine Yoga Shack that I began to truly practice yoga. Where I truly learned how transformative it can be not just for the body, but for the mind and spirit as well. I learned that yoga comes in many forms from the physical practice to meditation (one of my favorites) down to simply just breathing. My practice on the ground has been a huge aid to my practice in the air when it came to aerial yoga and I love both of them immensely. And I love the people of Sunshine Yoga Shack as well. They welcome you in and you don’t become just a student, you become family…the studio becomes a haven, a home away from home.
