"You give love and light to everybody-those who love you, those who harm you, those whom you know, those whom you don't know. It makes no difference. You just give light and love." - Indra Devi on her 101st Birthday

Justine

Justine Shelton is a Registered Yoga Teacher who was trained at Soul of Yoga in Encinitas in their Sundara College Teacher Training. She now teaches Anatomy and Physiology for the Sundara program in addition to being on the faculty for True Nature School of Yoga in Vista, CA. Justine graduated from Loyola College of Maryland with a B.A. in Sociology and History, putting herself through college on a full athletic scholarship for basketball. As a ‘recovering’ athlete, she was thrilled to find yoga. Letting go of competition came as a huge relief, allowing her to focus on healing her own body. Now her passion is helping others to heal themselves. She specializes in rehabilitative yoga, specifically spinal disc injuries as well as shoulder and knee therapy. She encourages her students to practice where their body is right now, allowing for the constant change and growth that comes with a dedicated practice. One of the reasons she loves yoga is that there is always more to learn, always room to grow. That desire to learn has led Justine to continuing education with a wide variety of teachers, including Gary Kraftsow, Aadil Palkhivala, Judith Hanson Lasater, Saul David Raye and back care specialist Elise Browning Miller. In February, 2008 Justine began a three year training program with Gary Kraftsow of the American Viniyoga Institute, preparing her to join the exciting field of Yoga Therapy. Justine is also a Reiki Master and Thai Yoga Therapist.
