BODY MECHANICS
Restore Function. Rebuild Strength. Reconnect to the Body.
For individuals dealing with chronic pain, postural imbalances, injury, or disconnection from their body, Body Mechanics Private Sessions offer a highly personalized, science-based approach to pain relief, mobility, and long-term healing.
These one-on-one sessions take place at The Yoga Shala, a trusted movement and yoga studio in Maitland, FL near Orlando and Winter Park, or virtually from anywhere. Each session begins with a full-body movement assessment and nervous system check-in, followed by a customized program designed to address the root cause of dysfunction—not just symptoms.
Through breath-led, functional movement, clients learn to retrain movement patterns, build intelligent strength, and move with greater ease, stability, and confidence.
What Is the Body Mechanics Method?
The Body Mechanics Method is a proprietary system developed by Krista Shirley following a life-altering nerve injury that left parts of her upper body paralyzed. As an experienced Ashtanga Yoga teacher and movement educator, Krista spent years restoring her own function using a blend of yoga, biomechanics, neuromuscular retraining, fascia-based movement, and somatic awareness.
This method bridges ancient wisdom with modern science to help clients achieve pain relief, improved posture, nervous system regulation, and sustainable strength.
Who Are These Sessions For?
Private Body Mechanics sessions are ideal for:
Individuals experiencing chronic pain, stiffness, or instability
Those recovering from injury, surgery, or neurological conditions
Anyone with poor posture or limited mobility
Yogis, athletes, or active individuals seeking better alignment
Beginners looking for a safe, guided entry into movement
Those seeking low-impact exercise for pain relief and recovery
Each session is fully customized, creating a calm, supportive, and non-intimidating environment for healing and progress.Each session is fully customized, creating a calm, supportive, and non-intimidating environment for healing and progress.

Body Mechanics is not about pushing through pain—it’s about working intelligently with the body to restore function and build resilience.
How Often Should Sessions Be Scheduled?
Many clients choose to schedule weekly sessions, especially during the early stages of recovery or retraining. Others opt for biweekly or monthly appointments to stay aligned with their goals, check in on movement patterns, or progress toward long-term wellness.
Some clients rely entirely on private sessions, while others pair them with group classes at The Yoga Shala. Krista works closely with each individual to create a rhythm that supports their unique body, lifestyle, and healing process.
A Safe Space for Real Healing
