About Shannon

Shannon's Story

Shannon’s love of yoga began over 20 years ago in Hoboken, New Jersey. Working full-time in finance during the day, her yoga practice allows her to relieve stress, quiet the mind, and find space within her body and heart. She provides her students with an invigorating class and also a space to find stillness. Shannon spends a lot of time and attention to crafting the perfect playlist for each class aiming to create a welcoming space for her students to practice.

Striving to make a modern yoga practice available to anyone that steps into her class, Shannon looks for practical ways to weave yoga into every day occurrences. Whether you are a beginner or advanced student, her classes embrace openness and diversity. Travel continues to influence Shannon’s life and yoga practice. Most recently, Shannon journeyed to India, Thailand, Japan, Peru, and Colombia, and is always seeking the next adventure.

Shannon completed her 200-hour certification through the Bright Spirit Teacher Training program at Devotion Yoga LLC©, her 300-hour certification through The Hudson Yoga Project©, and is also prenatal certified through BabyMoon Prenatal Yoga. In addition, he is also a Reiki master practitioner. Outside of traditional yoga, Shannon is Stand Up Paddle (“SUP”) Yoga trained through Bliss Paddle Yoga©. In the summer, she brings her yoga to the water teaching SUP classes at the Jersey Shore. Shannon is grateful for the opportunity to educate others and to share her love of yoga. She feels privileged to teach what she enjoys most and seeks to remain a perpetual student.
