About ME
Hi! I'm Shelby
I'm glad you are here! Are you a yoga studio owner looking to bring an exceptional, top quality teacher training or special immersion to your community? Do you need an expert to lead the yoga history & philosophy portion of your training in alignment with Yoga Alliance standards? I am the creator and owner of CaffreYoga, a Registered 200 Hour Yoga School and Continuing Education Provider. I am passionate about helping inspiring, exciting and powerful humans become the best yoga teachers they can be!
An industry professional based in New York City, I am a Tier 3 certified Baptiste instructor and E-RYT 500 with Yoga Alliance. I also hold certifications in Yin Yoga and Restorative Yoga. My “yoga home” is 5 Boro Power Yoga in Staten Island, NY where I am part of a powerful community leading classes and workshops since 2013.
I am an adjunct professor at Nassau Community College in Garden City, NY where I bring yoga practice to college students at a time in their lives when they need these tools more than ever. I also work at the corporate level leading Yoga & Mindfulness at The Playground, a $25 million recreation and fitness center in Manhattan's iconic Seagram Building.
Do you dream about who you could be as a yoga teacher and leader in your community? I know what it takes to develop and hone your skills to get you where you want to be. Let's connect and put your plan in motion.

Yin is in! Many teachers are looking to add Yin Yoga to their skill sets because more and more of our students want the benefits of targeting joints and fascia to increase flexibility and mobility. Yin makes yoga accessible to everyone!
Yoga History & Philosophy

Yoga History & Philosophy
Bring me in to your 200 or 300-hour teacher training to lead your students through Yoga History & Philosophy that is engaging, rooted in ancient tradition but presented in a way that is current and eye opening.
The Subtle Body
Teaching with Music 5-Hour Immersion
The Subtle Body
I am available to help your students familiarize themselves with the chakras, koshas, kleshas, vayus, meridians, and all aspects of the Subtle Body that are often overlooked in teacher trainings. I present the energy body in a way that is comprehensive and easy to understand.
Meditation
Teaching with Music 5-Hour Immersion
The Subtle Body
Leading meditation requires so much more than just reading from a script. My students are trained in many styles of meditation and breath work and they learn how to create a personal practice they can pass on to others that is sustainable and makes an impact.

Yoga and music are the perfect duo! But unfortunately many yoga teachers have some really bad habits when it comes to creating playlists for their classes. I have years of experience working professionally with music and can teach you to make intentional playlists no matter what style of yoga you teach.
