TESTIMONIALS
“I joined the sunshine practice because I wanted some inspiration & guidance into how to improve my daily practice with yoga, meditation and overall intuitiveness and it did not disappoint! Shelby cares so much about each person's individual experience during the course and does an amazing job at guiding you on your own personal journey, whatever that may be. The course helped me better understand myself and made meditating much less intimidating & do-able. If you're looking to grow your knowledge of yoga, meditating and really dig deep into your own mind & self, I highly recommend participating in this course! Afterwards, you'll feel like a new person"

“The Sunshine Practice helped me get from a dark mental space back to who I am and want to be. The daily activities and group yoga sessions helped me to stay focused on the positives in life, whilst acknowledging that past traumas and hurt are what builds us into stronger individuals. This was truly an incredible experience...those yoga sessions were absolute fire! You are the perfect woman to do this course with and I cannot thank you enough for creating such a sensational programme that truly brings peace and happiness into ones life!”

“The Sunshine Practice called to me at a time in my life where I was unsure of myself, my anxiety was elevated, and I couldn’t control my reactions to an emotion I felt. Taking part in the program seemed overwhelming but I decided to take the leap. Shelby Tate was there for me throughout the entire time and she consistently reminded me that as long as I’m doing the work, and continue to practice, it will get better...By the end of the program if I didn’t meditate at my normal scheduled time, I felt different. Through TSP I was able to instill practices in my daily routine that have improved my mental and physical being.”

Meet the FOUNDER
As a 500-hour registered yoga teacher, Shelby-Tate has been teaching yoga internationally since 2014. After graduating early from college, she moved to Cabo San Lucas learning Spanish, working in sales, and honing her yoga and meditation practice. After spending time in India furthering her yogic education, she settled into a yoga stewardess position on a private yacht. 

In her final year of graduate school for mental health counseling specializing in holistic studies at Lesley University, she began The Sunshine Practice to help women heal emotionally and work toward their chosen goal.

She has traveled to 38 countries, in various capacities of study, work and recreation. Completing further yoga training in Indonesia and meditation training in Argentina. A large portion of The Sunshine Practice community are from various places, and we find international human rights advocacy incredibly important.

As a survivor of childhood sex abuse, as well as physical and emotional abuse, she speaks openly about sex, relationships and navigating boundaries. This sex positive outlook is allowing victims to take back the power and is rooted in trauma work through school.
