Shirlee's BIo

Everyday Shirlee is reminded of how remarkable this life is. She is truly blessed to be surrounded by her husband Simon and her boys Ethan and Oliver who support her on this journey. They are truly her greatest teachers. When one of Shirlee’s sons, Oliver, was born with Cerebral Palsy, she began to search out alternative treatment for children with special needs. She discovered “Yoga for the Special Child” a book by Sonia Sumar. After reading the book, she completed Yoga For The Special Child Training, Levels l & ll, and started working with children of all levels and abilities through a program she designed called Yoga Bear. This was just one of the many fascinating and life-changing landmarks on an exciting and ongoing path of yoga.

18 years ago Shirlee began her yoga journey on the mat. She quickly realized that the benefits she was experiencing were more numerous than just being able to touch her toes, she went on to complete her Hatha Yoga training with Esther Myers in Toronto, Ontario. This 750-hour course changed her life. Being on the mat made her a stronger, happier and a more sensitive human being. When she began to align with nature life opened up and began to flow for her. In June 2004, Shirlee attended a weekend workshop with John Friend, founder of Anusara Yoga. She was hooked! Anusara Yoga is a style of Hatha Yoga known for its heart-oriented focus and its elegant alignment principles. It is a life-affirming practice that touches people on many different levels. Since that magical weekend, She has completed countless hours of training with John, including Therapy Training and The Art of Adjustment. She has studied with certified Anusara teachers Tiffany Fraser, Ross Rayburn, Todd Norian, Ann Greene and Desiree Rumbaugh. She thanks her long time teacher and friend Michael Siddall for his encouragement, support and knowledge. Shirlee is in the process of working towards her full Anusara certification.

In 2006 Shirlee became a certified Spinning instructor. Three years ago Shirlee took up road riding and describes the experience as meditation in motion. The idea of being on her bike and working with the principles of Anusara has allowed her to realize that the practice of yoga really is off of the mat. Shirlee has begun to challenge herself in ways she never thought possible.

Shirlee is the owner of Buddha Rider. You can find her teaching a variety of different classes at the studio or running local and international yoga retreats.

Her teachings are playful, dynamic and full of heart. She tries to inspire people to reach their true potential by rediscovering the very essence of their beings.
