Shalom By Shaneeka Yoga + Wellness
About
*Guiding peace through positions; gaining perspectives from peace*
Shalom By Shaneeka's mission is to facilitate healing through empowerment as client's journey within themselves using mindfulness tools, yogic philosophies, and physical practice. I strive to take a trauma-informed approach to meet students where they are emotionally, physically, mentally, and spiritually. I invite you to join me to peacefully experience your personal + purposeful journey within to assist in transcending the mundane.
I enjoy engaging students in discussion regarding the stress reduction, physical fitness, and emotional regulation that comes with routine yoga and mindfulness practices. I am passionate about teaching children and adult clientele. I have experience working with children of all age ranges, in both group and individual settings. I received my 200-hour Yoga Teacher certification through Give Yoga in 2019. I have a BA in Psychology and a BA in Social Work. I also enjoy a fulfilling career as a social worker serving clients in community behavioral health settings in addition to teaching yoga. I enjoy nature, motherhood, and exploring spiritual practices.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I like to get to know students though a 5-10 minute introductory conversation before our practice together begins. An example 60 minute session's timing would be broken down as 5-10 minutes getting acquainted with one another, 5 minute meditation/check-in, 45 minutes physical practice, with an opportunity for questions and discussion afterwards.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a BA in psychology and a BA in Social Work from Ohio University. I graduated in 2015. I completed a 200-hour Yoga Teacher Certification program through Give Yoga in 2019. I established Shalom By Shaneeka, LLC in 2020. I graduated from Ohio Media School in 2022 with a degree in Broadcasting with an emphasis in Digital Media Production. I am an Ohio Licensed Social Worker.

How did you get started teaching?
I discovered yoga as a personal stress management technique during my social work career. I recognized that the mindfulness aspects paired perfectly with the work I was already doing, so I wanted to add yoga as an additional certification/toolset to share with clients as well.
I soon recognized that my passion for the practice extended beyond surface level work-out satisfaction. I fell in love with the personal empowerment, emotional release, and spiritual connection that I experienced as my practice grew.
What types of students have you worked with?
I have taught up to 33 children in an hour class. I have taught one-on-one with children aged 2-18, adults of all age ranges, as well as families of all shapes, sizes, and agility levels. Come as you are!
