About Deb
Deb Shaw is a Yin Yoga teacher, trauma-informed yoga teacher, and Yoga Therapist with a deep commitment to embodied, nervous-system-aware practice.
Her teaching is shaped by many years of working with women through life transitions, injury, stress, and change — and by ongoing study in somatic meditation, Yin Yoga, and therapeutic movement.
Deb’s approach to Yin Yoga is grounded in the understanding that stillness is not just a shape, but a state of listening. She teaches Yin as a practice of sensing, orienting, and gently meeting what is present in the body, rather than pushing toward performance or aesthetic form.
Alongside her yoga training, Deb is completing a Graduate Certificate in Physiotherapy Assistance, further supporting her functional and therapeutic approach to working with diverse bodies.
Students often describe her classes and trainings as:
safe and deeply supportive
quietly transformative
spacious, grounded, and nourishing.
This teacher training is an expression of Deb’s belief that Yin Yoga, when taught with care and awareness, can be a powerful medicine for both students and teachers.
