Kim Shand

Welcome to a unique yoga experience with Kim at Naples Yoga Center, where laughter and enlightenment converge in every class. With three decades of teaching expertise, I bring a lighthearted touch to yoga, making it accessible while delivering a wealth of information on optimal pose alignment and philosophical insights!

My Story

Teaching Approach:

My classes are a delightful blend of accessibility and depth. I ensure students break a sweat, share some laughs, and leave with plenty to contemplate. As a 30-year teaching veteran and on-air personality, I aim to inspire individuals worldwide to reclaim control over their health, mindset, and aging through the transformative power of yoga.

Yoga Therapist Expertise:

My journey began at the age of 5, overcoming a severe spinal birth defect. Certified in various traditional yoga styles, including Anusara and Baptiste yoga, my evolution as a Yoga Therapist further enhanced my ability to modify and address individual needs. Whether in private or group settings, I tailor my approach to help students meet their unique goals.

Rethink Yoga Practice:

Fusing traditional yoga styles with holistic yoga therapy techniques and Rajanaka Vedic philosophies, I developed the "Rethink Yoga" practice. Certified as an IAYT yoga therapist in 2010, I expanded my impact by creating the "Peaceful Warrior" program for the Center for Great Expectations, a facility aiding women dealing with trauma.

Specialized Training in Oncology:

In Naples, FL, my passion extends to working with clients in cancer treatment, those with back injuries, and individuals navigating trauma associated with illness or loss. I leverage my specialized training in oncology to offer a unique and supportive approach to these challenges.

Media Presence:

I've shared my insights in various media outlets, including Good Morning L.A., Natural Health Magazine, GoInspireGo, Huffington Post, Elephant Journal, and MindBodyGreen. Beyond the mat, I've spoken about applying yoga principles in the 21st century at corporate events, motivating individuals to embrace their power, find joy, and be "All in. All the time."

Join me, Kim, at Naples Yoga Center for an uplifting and transformative yoga experience. Let's laugh, learn, and rediscover the joy and power within each of us. Be inspired to take charge of your well-being, mindset, and aging journey.
