# Shenyoga

Shenyoga, based in Bath, is a specialist yoga and bodywork practice led by Sophie Shenstone, drawing on two decades of experience in shiatsu, yoga and meditation. The business serves a diverse clientele including general yoga practitioners, pregnant women, postnatal mothers, and teenagers seeking mindfulness and movement practices.

Sophie teaches a flowing, breath-led hatha yoga style that emphasises creative combinations of core strength and dynamic flow with inner listening and non-competitive exploration. Her approach helps clients release unhelpful thought patterns alongside limiting postural and movement habits. The practice is grounded in embodied enquiry and meditative awareness.

Beyond yoga classes, Shenyoga offers Shen massage—intuitive bodywork rooted in shiatsu with elements of Thai yoga and deep tissue massage. Sophie describes treatments as "like having yoga done to you," creating a meditative experience anchored in breath awareness and sensitive touch. Each session is individually tailored.

What distinguishes Shenyoga is Sophie's integrative expertise spanning multiple disciplines, her personalised approach to treatment, and specialisation in underserved populations. The pregnancy and postnatal focus addresses specific physical and emotional needs during transformative life stages, whilst teen yoga brings mindfulness and movement to younger audiences. Rather than generic fitness offerings, Shenyoga emphasises holistic wellbeing, stress reduction and empowerment through embodied practice.
