History
It all started when a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu blue belt fell in love with a massage therapist/ yoga teacher that just so happened to be able to relieve a chronic neck issue that was keeping him off the mats. With his teaching ability and technique and her understanding of the human body they knew they were bound for greatness. After practicing massage for 6 years, Shelby decided to go into business for herself in 2013. The same year she attended Yoga Spirit Academy to earn her 200 hr. certification as a Yoga teacher. In 2015, they decided it was time to open Balanced Bodies. Her husband Thomas, who is now a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Black Belt, was able to join her in the spring of 2015. His partnership has made Balanced Bodies what it is today. The home of Yoga, Massage, and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in the heart of Tulsa.
