Yoga

To join, To yoke, To unite

What to Expect

- You can count on a compassionate, nurturing, and nonjudgmental environment with safety being our primary focus.

- Shanna believes that the student-teacher relationship is one of mutual growth and exploration. Her philosophy is reflected in her style of teaching in which she continually strives to promote mind-body connection and encourage intuitive movement, while honoring the uniqueness of each individuals path.

- Like any other practice, the benefits of yoga vary according to consistency and dedication, so be patient, start slow, and periodically check-in with your goals as your expectations for the practice evolve.

- Please come to class with an open mind and the understanding that it is likely that you won’t be able to do every form exactly how it is offered during class. Don’t get discouraged, there is always room to grow. If you are struggling with a certain posture or movement in class that I do not provide a modification for, please don’t hesitate to come talk to me so that I can work with you to find an alternative that will work for your body.
