YBS is an awesome Yogi community! I really appreciated the “Shift Happens” online event today....just what I needed to help me look in, work forward through this. I fell in love with YBS at my first class, as they practice in a way that lends toward a great deal of self-reflection and personal growth. Thank you Ron & Linda, and all the excellent YBS staff for all you do for yogis out there and the greater community! Can't wait until we can practice together again IRL!
Shannon attended her 1st yoga class in 2012 at Yoga Body Shop
and it quickly became a way of life for her. Originally, Shannon
started yoga as a way to stretch out her muscles to help prevent
injury. She quickly realized that yoga became much more than just
the physical practice. After the unexpected loss of her Aunt
followed a few weeks later by the unexpected loss of her father,
she started to notice the tools she learned on her mat helped her
to get through any obstacles life threw at her. Sometimes life just
sucks, it is important to have a safe and welcoming community to
turn to for support during those times. Yoga Body Shop has that.
Shannon decided to become a yoga instructor to help other people
transform their lives, through the practice of yoga, as it has done
for her. When practice gets tough, you stay and work through it.
When life gets tough you stay and work through it. Yoga presences
you to what is happening at that moment. Learning to be present, in
the now, allows you to enjoy life fully with allll of the ups and
downs. Shannon finished her 200 hour yoga teacher training through
Yoga Body Institute in Feb 2015 and attended the Art of Assisting
program through Baptiste in April of 2015. She plans on attending
Level 1 through Baptiste in 2016. Shannon can be found saying “Down
DOG” at Yoga Body Shop or at home when she is talking to her
rambunctious and loving dog, Bowser. Paw prints on your mats are
always welcomed!
