This site was made possible in part through the generosity of Graydancer, Twisted_View, and the Pitt GRUE's "We Think You're GRUEvy" award. THANK YOU! Shay also has a leggings sponsor (yep, really) – support an awesome independent artist by getting some amazing leggings!
Shay travels extensively teaching self-suspension and other topics — check this page for information on booking her to present at your event, or for private lessons. This site is a labor of love, creates zero dollars of profit (we counted... twice), and takes significant time and money to maintain.
