Help Shezelle pursue her Yoga dream this January!

My dear family, friends, colleagues, bandmates and those not yet met who this may reach,

Those who know me, Shezelle, are probably used to me being a hustler when it comes to work. Whether it’s an office environment, on the set of a tv shows or movies, instructing a bootcamp class, or more commonly killing vocals on a stage anywhere. I’ve been involved in A LOT of different occupations over the years, and I thrive when I’ve always got “my hand in something”.

This has by far been the most transformative year of my adult life. As life tends to do without any warning, I was forced to slow down and really take control of my physical and mental well-being. Making such massive life adjustments really was no small fight. Thankfully, in the challenging, defeating, and isolating moments, I gradually managed to shift my focus onto a deeper understanding of myself, through mind and body, and that’s where I fell in love with practicing yoga.

The grounding effect that yoga has brought into my life is refreshing. It has strengthened many other areas of my life, and given me a renewed passion for my already love for fitness. For the last 8 years, I’ve been teaching as a fitness instructor HIIT Bootcamp classes. I thrive leading my classes. Yoga has always been suggested by my doctor over the years when dealing with chronic neck and back pain. I’ve played around with the practice over the last 15 years. Now I attend yoga classes 5-6 times a week at my local studio, and it has had such a positive, resonating effect on my daily life. I feel empowered when I practice with others. I don’t see my life without yoga going forward, so I’ve committed 100% to becoming a yoga instructor. It would be a privilege to one day guide others, and use my love for leading people through fitness to make my lasting impact on the world.

So, I’ve recently received the greatest news…

I RECEIVED A WORK-SCHOLARSHIP TO THE SOMA YOGA INSTITUTE IN PLAYA COYOTE, COSTA RICA!!!

SUPER AMAZING RIGHT??!! I couldn’t be happier!! Except, I really need to call on some assistance to make this dream a reality…

Cause:

I’m reaching out for donations towards my training this January 2024, at the Soma Yoga Institute.

Soma Yoga Institute has an in-depth curriculum, and their unique coaching philosophy for yoga is exactly where I want to gain the knowledge for this practice. In addition to further personal growth and replenished health and wellbeing. At the end of this 20-day training, my goal is to be more secure in my choice to enhance my career pathways, gaining the best knowledge of how to do so from internationally trained yogis.

For the cherry on top of the cake, when I return home to Toronto, I have a guaranteed job opportunity I’ve received from Oxygen Yoga and Fitness studio, where I practice locally. Their intent to hire me upon completion of my training, would be the best momentum to hit the ground running in 2024!!!

Donations are to cover:

There is no donation too small…and I appreciate everyone for even taking the time to read this. Please feel free to pass this on.

Sending you all much love and blessings,
