Shelby Walker

Yoga Instructor
she/her/hers

Shelby (she/her), a New Englander born and raised, began her yoga journey in search of a new outlet after graduate school. She completed her 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training as part of the inaugural cohort at Mind the Mat Studio in Northern Virginia.

After a cross-country move, Shelby began teaching at Live Well Studio in Corvallis, Oregon, and later founded Rising Tide Yoga and Pilates, LLC, where she offered her own classes and built a growing community.

Another move brought her back to New England, where she recommitted to both her personal practice and her teaching. Shelby offers vinyasa and gentle flow classes, inviting students to explore, stay curious, and play within their practice. She recently completed her 300-hour Yoga Teacher Training with the Portland Yoga Project.

Outside the studio, Shelby shares her home with two little black cats and volunteers with the Animal Refuge League of Greater Portland. When she’s not teaching or practicing, you can find her exploring the beauty of the Maine outdoors.
