Testimonials
Feedback from Retreat & Workshop Organizers
“Shelly Dembe is one of the most enthusiastic, informed and passionate people I have ever had the pleasure of working with. Beginning a class with Shelly will put you on the road to reaching your highest wellness potential. Her years of clinical education and training have brought her to a point of holistic awareness that she would like everyone to experience. I would highly recommend Shelly, as would many of her OSU faculty and staff students!”
“I’ve been blessed to have Shelly work with Omek on various occasions. As a yoga and Yogadance instructor, she took our annual summer retreat to a whole new level. Her work opens women from the inside out to the wonders around and within them. Her very presence is a gift. The women at the retreat so enjoyed her presentations, I invited her to do an Omek Yogadance event in NY. Kudos once again! Almost six months later, women are asking me, “When’s she coming back?” If you’re looking for a program that is rich, authentic and alternative, call Shelly. And if you want joy, sincerity and spiritual depth - call her even sooner.”
Feedback from Participants
Fitness, Nutrition & Healthy Weight
“Shelly has a way of making everyone feel comfortable wherever they are in their fitness level and age, and is willing to help you become your very best.”
“Exercise was a dirty word. Food was my last remaining pleasure. But thanks to Shelly, I gladly exercise 3 times/week, am eating healthier, and it has all been painless. I look and feel much better than I did before working with Shelly. I’ve lost 20 some pounds. I never thought I would feel attractive again but I do! I go out to fine restaurants daily and eat the food I love, including dessert. With just a few changes in my eating behavior and the workouts, I feel I have made lifestyle changes that I can maintain for the rest of my life.”
“I make it a priority to work other commitments around my classes with Shelly Dembe. Both her yoga and outdoor exercise classes have dramatically improved my overall state of being and I enjoy them enormously. She is a first class instructor.”

“I have attended many of Shelly’s classes in Yogadance. I love being able to dance and create with like minded women and explore the rhythm and soul in Jewish music. The class is creative and non threatening leading to a relaxed atmosphere. Shelly is proficient at conducting a class that connects the spiritual and physical. You feel so good after.”
