Yoga on the Lake: A Journey With Shani Ayzencot | Andrea Laitano Wellness Brand Photographer in Miami

This session with Shani Ayzencot is one I hold especially close. Shani is not only a yoga instructor, mother, and wife — she’s also the creator of a beautiful new brand that will be launching soon. Over the past few weeks, I’ve had the privilege of working closely with her to document her online classes and build the visual foundation of this next chapter in her journey.

These photographs were created for her upcoming official website, a space that reflects the essence of who she is and what she offers. We shot them on the dock of her home, where she teaches in-person classes surrounded by water and sky — a space she lovingly calls Yoga on the Lake.

And that’s exactly what it is — yoga by the water, in a space that feels simple, natural, and focused. Her dock became the set for this session, and everything from the light to the reflections on the lake helped us frame her practice with intention. Our goal was to capture her routine just as it is: real, grounded, and personal.

What I admire most about Shani is how consistent and committed she is. She pours her heart into everything she does, with focus, humility, and grace. Her strength is in her discipline, in her presence, and in how she shows up for her students and her mission.

I’m proud to be part of this process and deeply grateful to support her creative path. If you’re in Miami and looking for a soulful, rooted practice, I highly recommend connecting with her. You can find her at @shani_ayzencot.

Her new brand and website will be announced soon — and I can’t wait for the world to see what she’s building.
