Our Story

iShine Yoga was created in 2008. At the time, a local studio was closing and students and teachers alike were in need of a ‘place’ to call home; a place to connect with their yoga practice and become part of a larger community.

During iShine Yoga’s inception, classes were held in Genevieve’s home-studio and were taught by some of the best teachers around. Without formal marketing or ad dollars, classes began to grow organically. A synergy had been established.

After a decade of teaching Genevieve Boulanger decided to create a permanent home for her Vinyasa, Prenatal, and Baby & Me clients.

On April 1st, 2017 we opened our doors.

In 2025 we expanded our existing footprint from 1,700 ft² to 4,300 ft² to provide space to our ever-growing community.

“New iShine” offers 3 Yoga Studios:
Studio Light
Studio Love
Studio Life

We offer 50+ general yoga classes per week, plus Teacher Trainings (200-Hour & 300-Hour) and our speciality yoga classes (chair yoga, prenatal yoga, Yoga for 12-Step Recovery, etc.)

We’ve also added more world class Wellness Services:

Acupuncture
Massage
Skincare & Facials

Ayurveda Health Counseling
HeartMath® Biofeedback

Today, iShine is an ever-growing, heart-filled community, with a wide variety of classes and instructors. The space offers “something for everyone” while staying true to the mission of being the area’s leading provider of Yoga, Wellness, and Education.

In addition to Classes, Wellness Services, Workshops, Child Watch, Prenatal & Postnatal Yoga, and Retreats iShine is the only profit sharing Yoga & Wellness Co-op in the country.

Yogis from all over the globe practice at iShine and know the brand for hosting World Class advanced training with renowned teachers and best-selling authors.

The community at iShine grows while maintaining roots of simple brevity and inspiration. The space itself and the brand remind each of its practitioners, students and clients of how good life can feel.
