Hello & Welcome!
THE SHORT
I’m Shayla Thompson, Black, Queer cisgender-Aries-woman, and my pronouns are she/her (why pronouns?).
My intention is to offer sessions that inspire & move you. To guide you with an inclusive, body-positive tone, through breath-centred modalities into self-curiosity & connection. As a guide (I am not a therapist) to hold space for your beautiful uniqueness, as an opportunity for you to listen in and hear your inner voice - the healer that is within us all.
the long
Connecting to others. I love working with people- my lifelong truth…
I celebrate the opportunity and privilege of being a Breathwork facilitator & Yoga Instructor (1+ years) while continuing the fulfilling work of a Registered ASL Interpreter (25+ years). These professional avenues have allowed me to connect with people- people like you!
How did I get here? After many years as an Interpreter, I started to feel my body and mind succumb to stress, which led me to dive deeper into my personal yoga practice, and the rest is her-story. Now, after 2000+ hrs of training in multiple modalities relating to yoga and Breathwork, here I am. Leading, exploring… learning and playing with movement, breath and stillness. The practice of Me.
The sessions I offer are rooted in my own heartfelt experiences, and I hope to support your ongoing journey into self-discovery. As one of my teachers said, “… by maintaining a presence in your life and engaging with the joy of experiences.”
Your time and attention are valuable.
Thank you for being here.
“THAT WAS AMAZING!!!! Thank you beyond words.
What a gift you are... So so special. You guided beautifully, I felt your love and commitment to us and the process.”
