Her intuitive teaching style creates space for both movement and stillness with her guiding touch at BPM Wellness in Little Haiti and Brickell Yoga, where students discover new depths in their practice. Beyond the studio, she welcomes kindred spirits to her SoulTide Journey Yoga & Surf Retreat. Later this year, she’ll co-guide an intimate gathering alongside Lieana Zoe, a masterfully skilled yoga teacher whose profound expertise amplifies the retreat experience. Together, they’ll lead participants to the sacred shores of Playa Grande, Costa Rica — a 5-day sanctuary where everyone is invited to simply come as they are. Free from expectations, the goal is to discover the profound gift of just being with yourself, creating space to uncover who you truly are beneath life’s constant doing. Through every breath and pose, Shands creates spaces where authenticity thrives and flourishes — inviting all to embrace their most aligned selves; @AshlyShands; SoulTide.us.
