Shelby Clark
Shelby Clark (he/him) is a certified yoga instructor, trained meditation guide, and somatic facilitator focused on helping queer people unlearn performance and return to authenticity. As the founder of Qasa – an LGBTQ+ retreat center in Costa Rica – Shelby creates spaces where queer people can reconnect with their bodies, their truth, and a felt sense of belonging.
His approach draws from somatic practice, meditation lineages (including training with Radiance Sutras author Lorin Roche), and the transformative power of queer joy. Shelby’s work lives in the body – in sensation, emotion, pleasure, and flow. With a mix of reverence and a sense of play, Shelby supports others in exploring the full spectrum of sensation, emotion, pleasure, and presence – not to become someone new, but to remember who they already are. While he holds space for others, he remains a student on his own path, aiming to walk it with reverence, curiosity, and humor.
Shelby lives in Costa Rica, and feels most alive dancing in the jungle, laughing with community, and helping others land in their own aliveness.
