Shelby found yoga at an early age, drawn to the incredible feeling it left her with. As time went on, no matter what city she was living in, or what she had going on, yoga always seemed to remain a constant. Soon after moving to Chicago, Shelby discovered Ritual and was immediately hooked. She felt so connected to the practice that she pursued her 200 HR RYT and started working at Ritual as an assistant, eventually becoming an instructor.

Shelby has experience in hospitality and bar management, informing her ability to connect with others and hold space for the room. Her background in Studio Art perpetuates creativity and expression in all of her classes.
