The instructors
PT, C-IAYT, PCAYT
Shelly has been helping people recover and flourish since 1998 as a physiotherapist, yoga therapist, educator, author and pioneer of PhysioYoga, blending evidence-informed body-mind-breath-spirit-heart centered practices and principles, such as yoga, into physiotherapy with a focus on chronic pain, pelvic health, compassion in healthcare and professional burnout. She is on faculty at several therapy programs, presents at medical conferences globally, contributes to academic research and writing, provides classes, courses and resources for the general population, and offers continuing education courses and mentorship for professionals.
She considers herself a lifelong student and emphasizes the immense value gained from clinical experience and learning from those she serves, the professionals she teaches, and the colleagues with which she collaborates.
Shelly is the co-editor/author of the book Yoga and Science in Pain Care: Treating the Person in Pain and has authored numerous book chapters in a variety of rehabilitation textbooks.
She maintains a clinical practice in Sylvan Lake, Alberta and believes compassion (including self-compassion), meaningful connections, spending time in nature and sharing joy are powerful contributors to rehab and well-being.

How do home exercise programs work on Embodia?
Embodia provides patients with easy access to their home exercise programs from free mobile apps (Apple and Android) and online (via all modern web browsers).
A simple interface with clear instructions guides patients through a program tailored by their practitioner.
Practitioners can prescribe from our growing library of videos, easily record a patient being coached through exercises and share these private videos securely with the patient, or prescribe from their own library of videos. Practitioners are empowered to monitor patient progress via the patient dashboard.
Key practitioner features of the Embodia HEP platform include:
- Quick onboarding -- use it right away without extensive training required
- Customize HEPs with videos from the Embodia library
- Upload your videos quickly and easily
- Create a clinic library of content
- Ability to record patients in session on private, secure mobile app
- Improved patient-practitioner relationship and adherence to HEP
- Share educational resources with your patients

What is a Resource Package?
A resource package is not a complete online course. Rather, a resource package on Embodia contains patient exercises and/or education that can be prescribed to patients by an Embodia Member (subscriber) with a Tier 2 or 3 Membership. You can view membership pricing and what's included in the membership tiers by going here.
While you can access/purchase resource packages without an Embodia Membership, you will get the most out of a resource package if you have a Tier 2 or 3 Membership.
