ABOUT THE YOGA SHACK
More Than a Yoga Studio.
The Yoga Shack was created by best friends Michelle & Cindy with one simple goal: to create a welcoming space where people can come exactly as they are.
What started with a love of yoga grew into a community built on movement, connection, laughter and support — without competition or judgment.
Whether it’s your first class or yoga has been part of your life for years, there’s a place for you here.
Come for the yoga. Stay for the community
ॐ Meet the Owners ॐ
Michelle D (Owner & Teacher)
Michelle is a 500-hour certified yoga instructor and Reiki Master. After working as a Radiation Therapist at NYU, she found yoga while looking for a way to quiet her mind — and quickly fell in love with the practice.
Her training includes Vinyasa, Yin, Restorative, Primal Flow, SUP Yoga, Sound Healing and more. Her classes reflect her personality: upbeat, welcoming, a little challenging and always paired with a great playlist.
Outside the studio, Michelle loves powerlifting, music, the beach, adventure and being barefoot whenever possible.
Her philosophy: Jump and the net will appear.
Cindy V (Owner & Teacher)
Cindy began practicing yoga in 1999 and has spent more than two decades studying, practicing and teaching. With a master’s degree in education, she began her career as a teacher before bringing yoga into schools and eventually making yoga her full-time path.
A 500-hour certified yoga instructor, Cindy has extensive training in Yin, Yoga Tune Up, anatomy, Sculpt, kids and family yoga and more, and has studied with teachers from many different yoga traditions.
Her approach to yoga is grounded, authentic and always evolving. But her favorite part of the journey has been building The Yoga Shack alongside her best friend and creating the community they once dreamed about.
For Cindy, yoga isn’t just something you practice — it’s something you live.
