Our Services
For athletic teams, I bring a unique blend of yoga and strength training designed to enhance flexibility, improve performance, and prevent injuries. In high-stress corporate environments, I offer targeted programs to help employees find balance, reduce stress, and boost overall well-being. The older population can benefit from customized sessions that cater to their specific needs, promoting strength, flexibility, and joint health. For those facing mental health challenges, including PTSD, through mindful movement, breath control, and meditation, yoga fosters a sense of calm, grounding, and self-awareness. No matter the group, I can cater a session that fits your needs.
As a wellness consultant and yoga instructor, I specialize in crafting tailored wellness retreats for groups. Combining yoga, mindfulness practices, and therapeutic activities, I create immersive experiences designed to rejuvenate and inspire. Each retreat is thoughtfully planned to foster personal growth and promote physical vitality in serene settings. Committed to excellence, I ensure every aspect of the retreat aligns with the group's wellness goals, delivering a seamless and enriching experience that leaves a lasting impact on participants' lives.
About Me
Meet Shrelle Taylor, a remarkable individual whose journey embodies resilience, dedication, and compassion. Born and raised on the vibrant streets of the south side of Chicago, Shrelle embarked on a path of service and growth at a young age, joining the military as a Computer Operator at 17. Amidst the rigors of military life, Shrelle discovered solace and joy on the volleyball court, representing post teams and competing in Germany. Transitioning to civilian life, Shrelle pursued a career in Computer Engineering, navigating the challenges of high-stress positions with determination and grace. It was during this time that Shrelle found serenity and strength through yoga, a practice that would become a guiding light in both personal and professional realms. As an IT Manager, wife, and mother facing the complexities of life, Shrelle recognized the transformative power of yoga and decided to become a certified teacher, seeking to share its profound benefits with loved ones. Through dedicated practice, Shrelle not only cultivated a sense of peace and balance within themselves but also became a catalyst for transformation in the lives of their family. Introducing yoga to their daughter, Shrelle witnessed her blossom into a collegiate volleyball standout, thriving both on and off the court. Extending this gift of healing to Shrelle's mother, yoga became a source of relief for her arthritic struggles, restoring mobility and independence. Shrelle firmly believes that their journey is guided by a higher purpose – a divine calling to uplift and empower others through the transformative practice of yoga.
