@shamanacircle


after a traumatic labour and birth, Nat’s passion for creating a movement space dedicated to healing took over. with teaching experience spanning 2 decades, she knew Bermuda and specifically the prenatal + postpartum body could benefit from her ability.

as a little girl, her first love was the creative freedom of dance, then as an adult it was the spirituality of yoga + finally after an injury, the structure of pilates. you can expect to find spirit and deep consideration of your body in Nat’s classes.

if attention to detail is your thing, you will find your heart here.

Cammii began her teaching journey in 2017. after struggling with her mental health since she was a teenager, teaching led her down the path of self healing. Cammii decided to travel the world, invest in multiple trainings, retreats, and lots of self study. the energy she brings into a room is unmatched. dedicated to growth and evolution as a person and as an instructor, you can expect some sweetness, some spice, and everything nice in her classes.

@inappropriate_yogagirl

while working a job she didn’t like, and suffering from deep depression, Bec’s yoga journey truly began. her passion for yoga made space for an organic desire for connection to the self and to others, something she had been missing for a long time.

from the beginning Bec was intuitively driven to learn how to serve women, and nurtured her passion by obtaining her prenatal yoga and birth doula qualifications. the essence of every class with Bec is is cultivating self love and acceptance.

her classes will feel nurturing. a true mama bear, Bec is someone who always protects and guides her tribe. don’t tell her we told you this, but she sings beautifully too.

she spent so much time taking class and learning, she became Nat’s apprentice and sat through the first SHAMANA method teacher training. a natural teacher, Shaela caught on quickly and studied through her yoga teacher training online.

@b_e_t_h.b

Growing up with dance and sports, movement has always been a central aspect in Beth’s life. In college, Beth discovered her love of yoga, barre + pilates. Because of this, she is a huge proponent of catharsis and expression through whatever movement or activity most aligns with you.

In the way that Bermuda always does, she was called back in 2021, and was able to marry her love of all of her movement modalities by becoming both a barre and group fitness teacher.
Beth feels most alive when moving, it's her goal to gift that feeling and experience to others.

Zoey’s yoga journey has taken many forms. As a self-confessed perfectionist, and far too logical,
her inability to be physically and mentally flexible turned this practitioner to teacher.

Zoey’s YTT opened the door to self-awareness. It organically manifested itself in being able to embrace what’s uncomfortable. She quickly realized that it's ok to struggle and it’s ok to not look like perfection in a pose, so long
as you’re making a mind body connection. These are the qualities Zoey thinks makes your yoga practice a success.

Zoey has a passion for enhancing athletic performance and overall well-being. With a background in triathlon, she combines her love for movement with an understanding of the unique physical and mental demands athletes face. Zoey's classes exude that yoga is not just a physical practice, but a holistic experience that fosters resilience and mental toughness.

As her teaching skills develop, she hopes to integrate dynamic sequences that build endurance and stability while incorporation meditation techniques to support mental clarity and recovery. Her hope is to help everyone unlock their full potential through the transformative power of yoga.

@the_schaef_bda

Joel’s journey into teaching yoga was a series of unplanned events. Stuck at home during the pandemic, he initiated a daily practice with online programming. Wanting to practice yoga away from the screen, he earned a 200-hour certification. Wanting to remember what he learned, he began teaching in 2021. If asana was the bait, yoga philosophy was the hook. Exploring the philosophy of yoga has been a passion of Joel’s. It connects with his current pursuit of a Masters degree in Mindfulness. Ask him about the 8-Limbs of Yoga and you may be engaged in a 60-minute dialogue.

In addition to teaching yoga, Joel coaches CrossFit, is a Life Coach and a Chartered Financial Analyst. He integrates financial, physical and spiritual wellness.

As an adventurer and the first dude on our team, Joel brings the spirit of challenge to his classes. Be prepared to find your edge.

@rsntr

A curious mind and a wandering spirit.
This past year, on a path of self-discovery
To strengthen my mind-breath-body connection
I explored movement practices:
Muay Thai, Freediving, Surfing and Yoga.

To deepen the practice of yoga,
This past October, I immersed myself in teacher training in the jungle of Costa Rica.
And while I may have told myself it was simply to deepen my practice,
I think deep down I could feel it all along -
The call to teach and to hold space for others.
And to hold space at Shamana Circle?
Well, that is truly full circle.

My classes are in invitation -
To meet yourself where you are.
To be curious.
To let it be messy.
To play, to fly, to fall, and to rise again.
The practice is yours:
To experience what you need to experience,
To feel what you need to feel.
And I will be here to hold space for you.
So when you rise from your mat,
It is with an awakened sense of self.

I was first drawn to yoga after 40 - I wish I had started earlier but it took some neck issues and lower back issues i was having from too many hours sitting at my desk job combined with being a weekend warrior kitesurfing and windsurfing to give it a go. And I was humbled! It's a good thing I love a challenge because I was not only really inflexible but asthma as a child meant that my breathing was sub optimal too (a hot mess!)
I've had a regular practice now for ten years and I have made a lot of progress and learned a few things, but I am always seeking new insights and inspiration.
The things I love about yoga are not just the physical rewards but the energy and mental reset too. And there’s the inspiration! When it all come together, community, moving together with breath, a good playlist, an inspiring theme and a teacher that believes in you - it is transformational. Yes, there is also a yoga high… and I'm addicted :)
So please come move with me. I hope I can pass on some of the energy and love that I have received from my own teachers over the years. Namaste!

Stephanie Loper

RYT200

Stephanie is one of Shamana Circle’s home grown RYT, and a working mom of three energetic young boys. Her yoga journey began on and off about 5 years ago, weaving it in and out of her life while navigating pregnancy, work, and the demands of a busy family. For a long time, it was something she turned to when she had the time but has now become a consistent in her life, something she no longer sees as optional. Yoga has been her anchor in keeping her present and in tune with her physical and mental health. It quickly transformed into a path of self-discovery and through yoga, she has learned to embrace the present moment, stepping away from her busy life and constant rush of planning ahead. For her, yoga is a learning experience that continues to challenge, inspire and reconnect her with herself, it reminds her that what we put into our practice and daily life, physically, mentally, and energetically, shapes what we receive in return. She is enthusiastic about helping others find their own balance, strength, and mindfulness through their practice.

I always thought my mom looked silly practising yoga in her bedroom, until one day, i began practising with her. A natural born athlete, I swam for Bermuda internationally and my yoga practice kept me conditioned for competition.

It took a little life experience, and those years allowed the perspective I had on my personal practice to shift. It became more than an outlet for daily stretching. Instead it became a sacred space to heal my body, not only physically but mentally. I found inspiration in teachers who I devoted my time to and made every group practice feel so individual. I admired the way engery was carried within such a small space and their attention to detail. Today, my practice drives my curiosity, confidence, intuition, and is my spiritual outlet.

I am most excited to create space and exchange energy with those I cross paths with. I will always offer my own experience and guide you as purely as possible. I can’t wait to watch you nurture and grow your practice with me.
