Creator of The Phoenix Practice™
Dr. Shelley Best (RYT-200) is a yoga teacher, mindfulness meditation teacher, sound practitioner, and creator of The Phoenix Practice™. Her path began at West Hartford Yoga, where - only a few classes in - a middle-of-the-night calling sent her to India within two and a half weeks. At the ashram of Sri Mata Amritanandamayi - Amma, "the hugging saint" - in Kerala, she immersed in Amrita Yoga and the Integrated Amrita Meditation technique under Amma's personal guidance. India is where her own healing began.
She carried that healing home.
Alongside Barbara Ruzansky, founder of West Hartford Yoga, she co-founded a community yoga studio inside Hartford's 224 EcoSpace - making the practice reachable for everyone, including those who might never otherwise walk through a studio door.
Her teaching is grounded in deep training: a 200-hour certification with Anne Falkowski of Samadhi Yoga Studio, the Kripalu and Forrest hatha lineages, and the two-year Mindfulness Meditation Teacher Certification Program (MMTCP) with Jack Kornfield and Tara Brach. She is also certified in Yoga Nidra in the lineage of Tracee Stanley, and is a sound practitioner who scores each gathering with live crystal singing bowls and a soundscape that spans centuries and genres - Bach and Coltrane, gospel and Fleetwood Mac, Philip Glass and the music of the world. Neither silence nor spa music, but music chosen so no one has to leave any part of themselves at the door.
"You are allowed to set it all down."
