I fly with Jaybird Because:
You leave behind all thoughts of self-doubt, insecurities, and societal expectations. You let go of all inhibitions and allow yourself to fully embrace your true self. You may even encounter moments of doubt or fear, but you push through them, knowing that the best version of yourself is waiting for you.
My journey to jaybird:
Shira's career in the performing arts began at the age of 10 when she started dancing in musical theatre productions across Canada. She continued to pursue her passion for the arts throughout her educational career, majoring in drama and dance. After several years of performing, Shira transitioned into teaching and became one of the leading instructors at a boutique spin studio in Canada.
In the last five years, Shira has expanded her teaching skills to include Pilates. She took on a new challenge by launching a Pilates program in Tulum, Mexico and became certified in Mat, Reformer and HIIT Pilates. Shira's dedication and hard work paid off as she quickly became a well-known and respected Pilates instructor in the community.
In 2022, Shira made a career change from her previous role as a creative, corporate Director in retail to focus solely on her passion for Pilates. She has become a guru in the field and continues to inspire her students with her knowledge and expertise. When she is not teaching, Shira enjoys spending time with her two sons, balancing her career and family life with grace and determination.
What MiNdfulness Means to Me:
Deliberately bringing your attention moment by moment through every single sensation. Where one disconnects from the cognitive world and lets the body get loud.
words to live by:
The only way out is through.
