Welcome to Shine
Namaste. We're so glad you've found us.
We opened our doors at Shine in Hyde Park (Cincinnati, OH) in 2002, 10 years ago. My intention at the time was to create a space where people could come together, make connections and find support on their spiritual path. Since then, I have watched in wonder as this amazing community of interconnected souls began to find one another and find a home at Shine.
Shine is a place where people appreciate and listen to one another. As we practice together, we learn to see and recognize the innate goodness in ourselves which makes it easier to see the same in one another. As a result, we fully embrace and celebrate the amazing diversity among us with deep appreciation and without judgment. Everyone is welcome here.
When you walk through the doors at Shine, your life may change radically for the better. If you are open to the experience, your awareness will expand, your appreciation of life will deepen, you will feel better about being in this physical body, and you will begin to have a more full experience of life as the grace-filled journey that it is. This is what happens here through the magic of yoga and community.
The skill, experience and dedication of our teachers makes this a very special place where grace is experienced every day. Our teachers are ready to guide you into the experience of yoga with kindness, compassion and a true desire to serve.
Each of us walks our own path in this life, and our paths have now crossed. Come walk with us for a while. We are honored to have the opportunity to serve you and support you on your journey.

2. How much is it? Your first class is just $10. Drop-in classes thereafter are $13, but you have many options for purchasing class passes (now all passes are good for one year!)
3. Should I bring a mat? If you have a mat, please bring it. Otherwise, we have mats you are welcome to borrow.
