Body Mechanics

Restore Function. Rebuild Strength. Reconnect to the Body.

For individuals dealing with chronic pain, postural imbalances, injuries, or a sense of disconnection from their bodies, Body Mechanics Private Sessions offer a highly personalized, science-based path to healing, stability, and strength.
​
These one-on-one sessions begin with a full-body movement evaluation and nervous system check-in, followed by a custom-designed program that addresses the root cause of dysfunction—not just surface symptoms. Through breath-led, functional movement, clients learn to repattern their bodies, build intelligent strength, and move with greater ease and confidence.

What Is the Body Mechanics Method?

The Body Mechanics Method is a proprietary system developed by Krista Shirley following a life-altering nerve injury that left portions of her upper body paralyzed. A seasoned Ashtanga Yoga teacher and movement educator, Krista spent years rehabilitating herself using a blend of yoga, biomechanics, neuromuscular retraining, fascia-based movement, and somatic awareness.
​
This method bridges ancient wisdom with modern science to help others regain function, reduce pain, and rebuild trust in their bodies.

Who Are These Sessions For?

Private Body Mechanics sessions are ideal for:

  • Individuals living with chronic pain, stiffness, or instability
  • Those recovering from injury, surgery, or neurological trauma
  • Anyone experiencing limited mobility or poor posture
  • Movers, yogis, or athletes seeking greater alignment and body awareness
  • Beginners wanting a safe, smart entry point into movement
  • People seeking a low-impact but effective practice rooted in science and care

These sessions are fully customized and supportive, offering a calm, non-intimidating environment for anyone ready to feel more connected, resilient, and empowered in their own body.

What to Expect in a Session

  • Full-body postural and movement assessment
  • Nervous system support + breathwork
  • Targeted work for hips, spine, scapula, shoulders, and neck
  • Fascia-aware movement patterns
  • Core and pelvic floor integration
  • At-home practice guidance (including optional video support)

Body Mechanics is not about pushing through discomfort—it’s about meeting the body with presence, precision, and compassion.

How Often Should Sessions Be Scheduled?

Many clients choose to schedule weekly sessions, especially during the early stages of recovery or retraining. Others opt for biweekly or monthly appointments to stay aligned with their goals, check in on movement patterns, or progress toward long-term wellness.

Some clients rely entirely on private sessions, while others pair them with group classes at The Yoga Shala. Krista works closely with each individual to create a rhythm that supports their unique body, lifestyle, and healing process.

A Safe Space for Real Healing

Krista Shirley’s Body Mechanics sessions empower clients to listen more deeply to their bodies, restore trust in their physical abilities, and move toward a life with less pain and more freedom.
