Join Fairmount Park Conservancy and Coach Shay of Inner Sanctuary Wellness on Wednesday, October 15 from 5-6:30 PM for a wellness program set in the beautiful greenspace of West Fairmount Park.

Coach Shay will blend together restorative yoga and sound healing practices, allowing for gentle movement and meditation throughout. Participants will leave each program feeling rejuvenated and grounded.

ABOUT COACH SHAY: Coach Shay is a fierce self-care/mental health advocate who educates and inspires others on best practices for living an easeful, more balanced life. After years of working in high-demand corporate roles, being deprived of rest and experiencing burnout, she found healing and restoration in practicing yoga and mindfulness. Her journey ignited a passion to help others and in addition to teaching yoga, she uses her gifts as a sound practitioner and holistic health coach as tools to help others destress and connect with their bodies and breath to find deep rest and healing. Her desire is to help all beings discover balance and vitality, and as the founder of Inner Sanctuary Wellness, she mindfully curates experiences and services that allow rest and offer rejuvenation for the mind, body, and soul. You can learn more about her work on Instagram at @coachshay2020.
