Shakira is a yin and restorative yoga teacher based in Queens offering grounding classes that encourage stillness, deep release, and emotional healing.

She understands the fast pace of city life and aims to provide a sanctuary where students can slow down, reconnect, and restore balance. Therefore, her sessions focus on gentle hip and heart openers, creating a warm, supportive space for students to soften both body and mind.

Shakira leads our monthly Runner Restore classes in collaboration with local Ridgewood Runners, where she curates classes for the specific needs of the group. Outside of class she enjoys running (of course) and dancing with her dog Rocco.
