Movement Studio

Located directly behind our Art house lies our beloved studio. These walls have held and loved many practitioners and students, and is currently “home base” to six yoga and mindfulness teachers. Natural light shines through all of the garage doors and windows, giving a glimmer of warmth through all of earth’s seasons. It is without doubt that every human who walks through these doors will emit their magic and leave with some of ours.

Event Space

Our studio is available for rent if you are in need of an event space. The Shine House has been used for weddings, baby showers, birthday parties, bridal showers, class reunions, and more. It is a versatile space that allows an open concept party. It is available to rent for $25 an hour so that everyone has the opportunity to utilize the space if they need one. (Prices can vary depending on what the event entails) Call us for more information and to reserve the space.

Tina George

Tina George

Yoga Instructor

Little did I know when I started a yoga practice post partum over 20 years ago with a guy on the defunct Oxygen channel that it would save my life. I endeavor now to share my experiences both on and off the mat to encourage others to find magic in themselves, in their bodies, their experiences and most importantly connection with a “divine spark.”

I trained locally in an Anusara based certification program created by our local (most amazing teacher I have ever had) Jenny Williams of Embody Yoga and Pilates. Before this, I had also trained under her expertise in Pilates. This next certification combined yoga and Pilates. I have always loved both the similarities and differences in the two practices, but have had a much deeper connection to the yoga side of things for the past few years.

In the last year I have returned to my “mat classroom” to become re-certified with an emphasis on recovery, which is where I teach from now. We are all in recovery. Whether we know it yet or not, recovery will touch all of us in one way or another. I have also delved into a concentration of the Chakras and their connection to my personal spiritual beliefs. I encourage others to do the same both on the mat and all other aspects of their lives. Finding something to connect with first within yourself, then with others and then with something bigger is where it is at and it can quite literally save your life.

Ali Hicks

Yoga Instructor

My name is Ali Hicks, and I (unknowingly) began my yoga journey at five years old (laugh, it’s okay!). What started out as performing happy baby rolls, shoulder stands, the splits, wheel pose, and playful somersaults on the ground (breath work included) transpired into a career just nearly three years out of high school. I restarted my mindful movement practice in 2017, with a book titled “Yoga for Idiots,” an oak tree in my grandparent’s backyard, warm weather, and my dogs Diesel (RIP) and Luna. I quickly realized this practice was “it” for me, and I needed to learn more.
In 2019 I obtained my Pilates Reformer Teacher Certification from my first mentor and idol, Jenny Williams, and my 200-hour RYT Certification from Connie Willis, my life mentor and one of the best people I know, to follow in 2021. 2022 rang in a master number and a new teaching gig at The Shine House, my current stomping grounds. This is one of the most special places I have taught at, that is filled with so much art, community, and, love.
When I’m not teaching or working, you can find me with my boyfriend, two dogs, Luna and Geo, and my two cats, Opal and Celeste, in the woods or looking for our next travel exploration.
I teach Tuesday and Thursday mornings at 8:30am (this will change to 7am as golf season approaches because I refuse to lose Eric Farwick as a student), and Wednesday night Gather Yoga at 5:30pm. I incorporate mindful, playful movement, Yoga/Pilates fusion, and as much nervous system regulating tips as I can squeeze in. Come play!
