Meet Shirley Shivhon
Ciao!
​
My name is Shirley, and I am a yoga and meditation teacher, and reiki and sound healer. I grew up on the sunny coastline of southern California and spent a decade living in Hawaii prior to following my heart and finding my way to the hills of Tuscany in 2015.
While living in Los Angeles I studied and practiced at Maha Yoga in Brentwood, California where I had the honor of coordinating various workshops, events, and yoga retreats for Steve Ross of Inhale Yoga (on the OH network).
​
In a high-intensity and fast-paced world, yoga and meditation have always been my favorite tools for dealing with daily pressures and stress
​
In recent years I have completed many trainings including power/vinyasa yoga, meditation, ashtanga yoga, kids’ yoga, yin yoga, reiki level 2, sound healing ,various energy work modalities, and a Master in Yoga Studies.
​
I really enjoy being able to teach both a very strong vinyasa flow class or a gentle and deeply meditative class and I like to create my classes with my students’ specific needs in mind.
​
My daily meditation and yoga practice greatly inform my work as well as my life. Yoga is the way I choose to live my life every moment of every day.
​
I currently facilitate private and small group yoga classes in and around Florence and in a handful of luxury hotels in Tuscany. I create both personal as well as intimate luxury wellness retreats in Tuscany and I am a faculty member of one of Florence’s leading and oldest higher education institute where I teach yoga philosophy, mindfulness, and eastern religions to Study Abroad students.
​
Thank you for joining me here.

P.S. When I'm not teaching you can find me at our organic farm/vineyard making wine or taking care of the animals.
