Shirley Johnson

Born in New York City to a diverse family of musicians and artists, Shirley Johnson grew up exploring culture, movement, and music through her surroundings. After graduating from Brown University, Shirley went to work in corporate finance, only to find herself unfulfilled. She found yoga healing and a catalyst for courage as she began to make shifts in her life.  Through a consistent practice, Shirley found that yoga was much more than phsyical asana and enjoys bringing yogic philosophy and meditation to her classes, as well as her love for music, laughter, and poetry.  Through this practice, she hopes to encourage other's to tap into their own courage and make the shifts they need in this life.

Shirley is certified as a Yoga Teacher through Yoga Alliance through New York City's Reflections Yoga, through Yoga Ed. ™ for High Schools, and is a certified JourneyDance teacher.  She is a practicing astrologer and Reiki Master.
