Shea Carey
I am Shea, a yoga teacher who is passionate about supporting pregnant and new mamas create balance in their lives through sacred movement, breathing techniques, mindfulness, and connection. In 2020, I completed my Yoga Teacher Training here at Yoga Journey. Shortly after, I learned I was pregnant with my son and as my body began to grow, so did my practice. Yoga, during my pregnancy, helped me listen to my ever-changing body and trust my instincts in ways I never have before. I felt seen, heard, and validated as I shared about my nerves and anxieties surrounding new sensations in my body, childbirth and becoming a young mom. It even gave me the space to connect and bond with other expecting mamas who shared similar feelings. Community building and sisterhood was honestly my most valuable takeaway. Overall, the experience allowed me to feel in tune with my divine body and prepared me for labor and delivery. I remember walking away from each class feeling so peacefully empowered, that it encouraged me to teach prenatal yoga to hold space and guide other expecting moms.
