“We at EcoR1 are grateful for our yoga sessions with Shannon. Her sessions are a meditative break from a busy workday, giving us the ability to unwind and take care of ourselves both physically and mentally. Since March we have continued our sessions via videoconference, and we have been very happy with them. Thank you Shannon! ”

“Your First is Always Special. Shannon was our morning yoga guide on a company retreat. The other (younger) team members were stupefied that I had managed to live over 60 years, much of it in Southern California, without ever doing yoga. Shannon was super encouraging, and managed to tailor sessions that challenged the more experienced practitioners, but also allowed a novice to explore and enjoy the satisfaction of accomplishment.”

“Meeting Shannon is a perfect example of the universe sending me exactly what I needed. As soon as I walked into the yoga studio I was immediately struck by Shannon’s energy, her openness, her smile, her grace (and her adorable outfit!). After an hour of yoga with Shannon, and reconnecting myself to yoga, I had an epiphany. I realized a large part of the reason why I had taken such a long break from yoga wasn’t just because I had no time, but because I hadn’t felt fully aligned with a yoga teacher in a long time. Shannon had opened her door to me and I walked through. I knew I had found something special. Amidst my current crazy and busy schedule, I have managed to commit to yoga again! It is Shannon’s creative classes and dedication to learning more about yoga, herself and her connection to the world, that keeps me coming to class, and refreshed and reconnected to myself when I leave.”

“Shannon is a profoundly wise teacher. Taking what she has learned from many books, her own life, and great teachers, and applying it directly to her life on and off the mat. Shannon weaves it all into her teachings and shares with grace and clarity. Her integrity, strive for balance, and true compassion makes her a trust worthy teacher. Shannon’s Asana classes are the perfect *balance of challenging yourself and restorative*. She helps you to build strength by working up to challenging poses. Combined with supportive grounding poses and meditations to help release tension in the body. I always walk away from class having learned something for my mind, body, and spirit. Feeling supported, strong, and uplifted.

Participating in the share your heart project was truly a joyous experience. It ignited my physically body, allowed me to tap into my creative mind, and offered the time and space to self reflect on important relationships in my life. The combination truly links mind, body, and spirit, allowing for deep healing to take place and ultimately allowing one to return to their joy, by releasing what your heart has been holding and/or wants to share. It is a simple yet deeply powerful practice. In the past I have found it challenging to create the space to draw and make art; the share your heart project opened me up to dormant potential I didn’t know I had and made it easy to begin creating. I enjoyed sharing this practice in community, where deeper conversations could evolve from the beautiful prompts. ”
