about text
Shannon has studied yoga since the late 1990's. Specializing in Hatha yoga, she shows her students that Yoga stretches well beyond simply the physical benefits, with far-reaching mental and emotional benefits as well.

Shannon Profile PictureHer classes range from smooth flowing sequences to strong holding postures - both allow students to turn inwards and allow the pose to advance with the breath and strength that is required to create flexibility. Her passions lie within every individual in her class, allowing them to have fun while having a deepening experience.

Shannon has also become known for her Pre and Post Natal classes. Once giving birth to her 2 daughters, she realized a huge gap in care for prenatal and post natal mothers.
Going beyond a typical yoga class, Shannon is truly a Pre and Post Natal mothers best friend, discussing all things with no judgment, and encouraging and nurturing mothers to reconnect to their true nature.

She has developed her own unique Partner Prenatal Workshop and also teaches Reflexology and Massage for Babies, as well as an introduction on how to make your own baby food, and when to introduce what foods to baby!

Extending her mind as well as her body, Shannon is also a Certified Meditation Facilitator, having studied world mystic religions such as Buddhism, Christian mysticism and Hinduism, as well as various other spiritual paths.Her attention and commitment to breath work and meditation combined can be felt in her classes.
She also is currently a Level 2 Chios Energy Healer and hopes to accomplish Level 3 in the coming year. Moving from the mat to the ring, Shannon also has extensive experience in boxing, as well as Pilates, Belly dancing, and is a Certified Thai Yoga Massage therapist, all of which contribute to her unique outlook on yoga.

Her vast spectrum of experiences culminates into classes that are challenging, unique and fun leaving her students feeling challenged, uplifted, and with a complete sense of well being, and is often revered as a teacher of teachers. No Fluff - No Weird Classes - just Real Good Yoga!
