TIFFANY BELL, GREENTREE YOGA & WELLNESS
CERTIFIED YOGA INSTRUCTOR
While I initially started yoga at my local YMCA as a break from my usual workout, I received so much more! After practicing for several years, I took the leap in 2020 and attended Down Under Yoga’s 200-hr yoga teacher training. After months of backyard and park classes, I opened a small space in Brockton where I offer weekly classes and private lessons, GreenTree Yoga & Wellness.
Another large piece to my practice is getting out in various communities and bringing yoga to people who otherwise may not find it accessible to them. If I can help someone find the mind and body benefits of yoga, then I consider that a class well taught.
As such, my vinyasa flow is generally energetic but also calming. Accessible to all levels. I offer opportunities for people to connect with their breath, move their body, and calm their minds, while also having fun!

MEET THE EVENT SPONSORS

SHARLENE PAUL, MOCHA WELLNESS CENTER
CERTIFED YOGA INSTRUCTOR AND MASSAGE THERAPIST
Sharlene Paul is a young, eclectic, soulful, creative, Afro-Latina woman of color. A Brockton MA native, whom is passionate about holistic health and wellness. What makes Sharlene interesting is that when she’s not operating her business (Mocha Wellness Center) as a Yoga Instuctor and Massage Therapist, she currently works full time in the stressful environment of Corrections. Along the journey of self care, Sharlene very soon noticed the lack of diversity in most health and wellness spaces. That lack of representation prompted her to become the change she wished to see. She obtained her 200 hr Certification as a Yoga Instructor from Open Doors Yoga Studios, and then during the heart of the Covid-19 Pandemic she graduated from Spa Tech-(Plymouth) completing 650 hours in Therapeutic Massage Therapy and became a Licensed Massage Therapist. Sharlene also has a Bachelor’s of Science in Psychology from Bridgewater State University, among many many other certifications, affiliations, and partnerships in the local community. In her spare time, Sharlene likes to learn new languages, travel often, sing, cook, or ride her motorcycle in the summertime! It’s fair to say-Sharlene is not your average Wellness practitioner!
