About Shine

Shine Yoga is a warm and welcoming studio. We know that doing yoga has nothing to do with your size or your flexibility. In fact I often say, “If you can breathe, then you can do yoga.” At Shine we are all about relieving stress, learning to calm and quiet the mind and connect to that place of peace, that is within us all. ( even if we haven’t accessed it in a long time) Some of our classes are more physical, you will sweat and increase your strength by attending flow classes. You will increase flexibility, move energy blocks and get to know yourself from the inside with yin classes. All of our classes will help you to be a happier, calmer and less reactive person. There is no judgement at Shine, everyone is welcome. Take a moment and look around our website. If you can’t find what you need, please don’t hesitate to give me a call at 757.472.9009 or send me an email.

I can’t wait to meet you and share this amazing practice of yoga with you. —Jen

Best hour I’ve spent…!

I was not able to attend the class Mon as I wanted because I injured myself over the weekend and Monday was just to sore. My arm could hardly hold a cup without shaking. But - I was determined to try this new thing because I knew I needed something to help me. So I came in last night for the 7 class. I almost gave up and went back home cause 2 of the roads were closed with the rain/road floods - Thank God I didn't! The class was sooooooo amazing! Michele, the instructor was so sweet - she made me feel very welcome and comfortable. During class, my arm was hurting and she let me know it was okay to position other ways. She came over to me many times to help me. I never felt like this was a gym class where I had to keep up. I felt so comfortable and so happy-relaxed. I must say that I slept the best I have for a long time. I'm really trying to figure out this new yoga thing...Most of the terminology I didn't understand. I kinda' just tried to follow. But it was the definite BEST hour I've spent for a long time!! Please thank her and I look forward to class again today or tomorrow!!!

…have to say the teachers at Shine Yoga have a unique way of teaching.

Over the past 17 years I have experienced different kinds of yoga classes. Some physically challenging, some, not so much but, I would have to say the teachers at Shine Yoga have a unique way of teaching. One that I seem not to get enough of. They teach from the inside out, intertwining the body, mind, and spirit together to bring strength, calmness, and an awakening of sorts.

Let me explain briefly. A couple of years ago I was told that I have the beginnings of arthritis in the top of my hands and for a long time I have been awakened in the middle of the night with deep cramping in my legs and feet. For the past 7 months I have been going to Shine Yoga a couple times a week and now very rarely wake up in the middle of the night. If I do most of the time I can breathe into the muscles before the cramp gets out of hand and fall back to sleep. The tendons in my hands have been stretched to where I rarely feel any pain. I realized this when vacationing for a week where I did no stretching. By the end of the week, my feet, legs, and hands were not happy. A huge plus with staying consistent with the yoga is I haven’t had to take medication for relief...at all!

As for calmness to the mind, and the awakening of the spirit it is three fold. We learn how to honor and respect ourselves through the music, exercises and the words of self kindness. To remember that we are all on this earth together to teach, learn and appreciate not so much what we do but who we are in what we do that makes a difference. Also, to accept and love ourselves, no matter what, and to know that we are an important presence for the change we want to see in this world.

If you’ve ever contemplated yoga but never took the step forward to give it a chance, I recommend coming in and talking with Jen Fedorowicz. She knows yoga like the back of her hand and is extremely intuitive of how and what the body needs and will suggest classes that will fit your criteria. If you are in a place where your body is asking for a healthy change...you will not be disappointed. Just trust in the guidance.

With honor and appreciation, a huge thank you to Jen and her teachers for caring deeply about the wellbeing of all people...it is truly experienced each and every time we step on our mats at Shine Yoga. — Terry P., VA Beach, VA, 2018

…and before I knew it I was in that Nidra state of mind.

Previously I have had to have MRI’s of my head and neck and barely made it through due to the claustrophobic feeling. Yesterday as they strapped me in I immediately closed my eyes and began focusing on my breath. I truly just tried hearing Jen’s voice breath in 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 breath out 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. and before I knew it I was in that Nidra state of mind. Twice the noise from the MRI brought me out but I immediately went back to the breath. 40 minutes later it was over and I actually felt relaxed. I’m pretty sure that was meditation! Thank you Jen. —Kathy H., Va Beach, VA 2018

…and the truly magical healing vibes…

I’m grateful for someone I met very, very recently but who more than deserves to figure on this list, my wonderful yoga teacher and reiki energy healer Jen, for her extreme kindness, patience, positivity and the truly magical healing vibes that she gives just by talking (or even without talking; I felt drawn to her before even having even spoken to her or set foot in Virginia Beach!). I was the biggest yoga skeptic in the world (because of a couple of hilariously disastrous attempts, including one involving a Youtube video with a woman who uses, ahem, interesting metaphors, and the aforementioned cousins, and their cat who was determined to make me trip and break a bone), but now I can’t go 24 hours without attending a class, and being a member of Jen’s studio has been truly transformative on so many levels that I can’t list them here, I'd just go on and on and on about how I'm slowly transforming into Gwyneth Paltrow (with raw organic apple cider vinegar flowing in lotus-shaped veins and all). But I’ll say that it is worth moving from DC to Norfolk/Virginia Beach just for the yoga! — Sophie D., Va Beach, 2018

…it was the reason I healed up perfectly with no surgery.

Dear Jen,
Just wanted to say "thank you" so much for letting me use the Biomat during my healing process. I truly believe it was the reason I healed up perfectly with no surgery. I am so looking forward to getting back to my yoga routine. So glad I found Shine and you!

My back feels so much better

Dear Jen: Thanks for this very helpful workshop. I learned a lot about the causes of low back pain, how to prevent some of the hip problems (when sitting keep the height of the knees even with the hips – I have already changed the position of my car seat to reduce stress on the low back)); stretching the spine daily in all six directions (front, back, sideways, and twisted in both directions); and, of course, using the breath for pain relief, falling asleep (it DOES help), and general health. My back feels so much better. I highly recommend your workshop to anyone with low back pain problems.—Dr. Edna Baehre-Kolovani, Va Beach, VA 2018
