Shaniah Hall is a yoga teacher, private chef, and dedicated student of sacred healing. Her path has taken her from traditional workspaces to the heart of the Amazon jungle, where she had the honor of privately studying plant medicine with an elder. That experience transformed her understanding of healing, community, and humanity’s deep connection to the Earth.

A certified 200-hour Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT), Shaniah believes in the power of breath, movement, and stillness to unlock healing from within. For the past three years, she has worked as a private chef, creating intentional, nourishing meals to support retreats and deep inner work. She views food as medicine and loves crafting meals that not only sustain the body but also feed the soul.

Her early career in payroll administration, customer support, and team leadership taught her the value of structure, presence, and clear communication. She now brings those skills into retreat spaces, ensuring that guests feel safe, held, and supported throughout their journey. Whether guiding yoga, preparing meals, or sitting in ceremony, Shaniah leads with care, groundedness, and integrity.

Above all, she is devoted to holding space and creating environments where individuals can reconnect with their own wisdom. It is her honor to support others as they remember who they truly are—whole, powerful, and deeply connected.
