Sheena Shivapriya Szuri

She firmly believes that Yoga is for everyone, and her teaching reflects this philosophy—offering open, inclusive classes for all ages and abilities. Her approach encourages playfulness and curiosity, while providing attentive, nurturing guidance that supports better health, self-acceptance, and inner peace.ShivaPriya studies Sampoorna Yoga, the Yoga of Fullness, in the lineage of Swami Sivananda with her teacher and guru, Shri Yogi Hari (www.yogihari.com). What began as a desire to deepen her personal practice soon blossomed into a passion for teaching and sharing yoga with others.After teaching for several years in mobile and community-based settings, ShivaPriya naturally transitioned into opening a permanent yoga center dedicated to Yogi Hari and the Sampoorna Yoga tradition. Sampoorna Yoga Miami, located in South Miami, became a full-spectrum yoga lifestyle and wellness center. There, students and visitors experienced yoga not merely as a physical practice, but as a way of living each moment fully—in happiness, awareness, and health.For many years, ShivaPriya taught throughout South Florida and via live-stream platforms, reaching students both locally and internationally. Sampoorna Yoga Miami served as a strong voice for inclusivity, reinforcing the message that yoga is truly for everyone.She holds advanced teaching certifications, including credentials as a yoga continuing education provider. ShivaPriya is also a Certified Connected Warriors Yoga Teacher and is trained in the deeply restorative and blissful practice of Yoga Nidra.Currently residing in New Bern, North Carolina, ShivaPriya teaches Sampoorna Hatha Yoga, Meditation & Raja Yoga, and Yoga Nidra at Transcendent Wellness and Rivertowne Ballroom in historic downtown New Bern and for private clients. She is also honored to offer Connected Warriors free yoga classes for local veterans, service members, first responders, and their families.
