School Wellness Project

Shana Conza, J.D., B.F.A., RYT-200 is a former Musical Theatre Actress and Public Defender. Shana is a Certified Yoga Teacher (RYT-200) through Yoga Farm Ithaca and has completed trainings with Yogi Beans, Little Flower Yoga, Mindful Schools and The Center For Adolescent Studies.

As a Public Defender, Shana specialized in representing teenagers. She became educated and well-versed in the necessity of trauma-informed representation, and endeavored to pursue another career in wellness, bringing mindfulness and yoga to workplaces and schools. During her years of wellness training and education, Shana also became a mother, and realized first-hand the importance of parenting through a trauma-informed, mindful lens.

It is now her life’s passion to bring yoga and mindfulness to folks in every step of her journey thus far–to performing artists, law students, attorneys and those working with them, parents and children in schools. Shana founded Libra Wellness, through which she offers programs to schools, summer camps and parenting groups. Shana is uniquely positioned to bring personal experience and empathy to these groups, making her classes a genuinely warm, comfortable and safe space.
