This class is designed for all levels and will leave you feeling deeply nourished and refreshed, organizers said. No prior yoga experience is necessary. Click here to register.

My classes are eclectic yet available to all. I teach yoga from the heart with the intention of encouraging others to love themselves (as they are) and the world a little bit more each day, Shoreman says.

For me, yoga is about allowing yourself the space to go deeper within. To feel. To breathe into. To be. To recognize. To connect. To honor. I want you to come to the mat as you are. And I promise to do the same, she adds.
