Marybeth Grinnan
Marybeth is the creative force and co-founder of SoulShine Studios—a powerhouse space where movement, self-expression, and bold connection collide.
With degrees from the University of Virginia and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Marybeth could’ve followed the straight-and-narrow path of traditional success. Instead? She threw off the rulebook when dance and creative movement lit a fire under her, flipping the script on her life and career forever.
From London to Paris to Richmond, she has spent the last 30 years learning, teaching, and fine-tuning a fierce, heart-centered approach to holistic well-being. She fuses the energies of dance, yoga & martial arts with curiosity, creativity and connection. Her philosophy?
Growth isn’t a solo gig—it’s amplified in a wildly supportive, inclusive community. That pulse drives SoulShine Studios, a hub for seekers to move, explore, and tap into their untamed creativity—together.
Whether she’s guiding a heart-opening retreat where nature meets deep self-discovery or leading an unapologetically joyful movement class, Marybet invites you to ditch perfection, get messy, and love yourself fully—right here, right now.
Come as you are. Leave a little brighter.
