Shelby Spinneweber and Stan Mieloch
Two friends with a passion for Yoga and Wellness that combined forces and resources to bring a Yoga Studio and Fitness Center to the small and iconic town of Woodbine. Stan is the owner of Captain Stan's Smokehouse Bar and Grill. He has been operating his restaurant for over 12 years. Stan longed to make yoga a regular practice for himself but struggled with finding the time with his hectic schedule and having no studio in town.
Shelby is a real estate agent with Berkshire Hathaway Hodnett Cooper with similiarly hectic schedule and need for the many benefits of yoga. Having moved from St Augustine FL to White Oak GA she discovered the closest yoga was 40 minutes from home!
Stan had been dreaming of opening up a yoga studio across the street from his restaurant for a couple years and one day he asked Shelby if she wanted to help him make his dream a reality. A short time later they purchased and renovated the property together and now they can be both be found practicing yoga there regularly with the talented group of teachers they assembled.
Both Stan and Shelby feel that Woodbine is a special place "The Mayberry of Georgia" and that there is a need for amenities in the downtown. They both wanted to bring health and wellness to the community.

Beth Humphrey
Background and Experience: Certified Personal Trainer since June 2009 – AFAA Certified Group Exercise Instructor since August 2009 – AFAA Licensed Zumba Instructor since October 2011 Licensed PIYO Instructor since August 2014 Licensed Zumba Kids Instructor since August 2017 My journey began in 2007, at the age of 39, as I realized that a sedentary lifestyle of working behind desks had packed on 45 lbs since college. From there, I began exercising in my living room, eventually gravitating towards group fitness classes. By 2009, I was so inspired by the positive changes that exercise had brought to my life; I decided that I want to help others find that happiness. I have been teaching group fitness classes in Camden County, ever since. My greatest joy is in seeing the smiles on my students faces, and helping them achieve their goals and dreams. The final piece of the puzzle was a desire to reach all kids in Camden County; and teach them the joy and benefits of physical exercise, and that you don’t have to play a team sport or be competitive, to be physically active and have fun.
