Shine On Yoga

Shine On Yoga occupies a small studio tucked into the Bonaventure Town Center Shoppes on Saddle Club Road, a spot with real history in Weston’s wellness community. The address previously housed The Prana Lab, a beloved yoga studio that served West Broward for close to two decades before closing, and when studio owner Cindy Buchanan opened Shine On Yoga in the same space, longtime Prana Lab students made a point of following her, with several reviews explicitly thanking her for keeping that studio’s legacy alive in the same building.

Buchanan’s own path to opening the studio began with dance rather than yoga. She trained at the Boston Conservatory before a period of clinical depression and anxiety led her toward Hatha, Vinyasa, Yin and Restorative yoga around 2010. She has since added Reiki mastery, sound healing and shamanic practitioner training to her background, and that range shows up directly in the studio’s offerings, which include not just standard flow and restorative classes but Kundalini yoga, sound healing sessions using crystal singing bowls, and guided Reiki and meditation circles.

The instructor roster at Shine On Yoga is unusually deep for a boutique studio this size, with more than ten teachers offering distinct specialties, from a longtime Kundalini teacher with seventeen years of experience to newer instructors who completed their two hundred hour teacher training on site under Buchanan. Several instructors, in fact, trained at the studio itself before joining the teaching staff, which has created a close knit community atmosphere that repeatedly comes up in client reviews, with students describing the studio as feeling more like an extended family than a fitness class.

Shine On Yoga runs on a published class schedule rather than fixed storefront hours, with morning, evening and weekend sessions spread across the week to accommodate working professionals and parents on school schedules. The studio uses HEPA air filtration to keep the practice space clean, a detail it calls out directly to health conscious Weston clients. Because it is independently owned and run out of a single location rather than part of a national yoga franchise, class sizes stay small and the studio can add workshops like shamanic sessions or sound baths in ways a corporate chain typically cannot.

For anyone in Weston looking for a genuine, community rooted yoga studio with real depth in healing focused practices like Reiki and sound therapy rather than a pure fitness oriented flow class, Shine On Yoga is one of the more distinctive independent options in the city, and its continuity with the beloved Prana Lab that came before it only adds to its local credibility.
