Individual Attention is Key
My husband and I have been practicing yoga with Shannon for a few years. She is very attentive to our individual health needs to make certain we are moving forward and achieving our goals but also doing this in a way to prevent injury. Each session is unique and tailored to us. I feel so fortunate to have found Shannon! – Carol Kemper
Taking the basics makes me want to learn more!
I began taking a basic yoga class with Shannon in September 2013 and have been actively practicing ever since. It was my first time ever taking a yoga class and I couldn’t have made a better decision. Shannon always takes time to listen to your individual needs and always encourages you to listen to your own body. Shannon has an equal balance of having fun but also allowing for tranquil moments for connecting with your own body and breath. I’m so happy to be her student! – LM
Great All Levels Teacher
I have taken yoga classes over the past year from Shannon. I have learned a great deal from her. She does a good job of modifying poses for all levels so that it is always challenging. She also takes the time to help you if you have questions or to help you adjust your pose if needed throughout the class. She is very enthusiastic and knowledgable about yoga. Her enthusiasm is contagious! She is a great teacher! – Michelle W
Great Teacher
Shannon is a fabulous teacher. She is very well-informed and treats her students with great dignity. She tailors her classes to the needs of the students and gently encourages and honors all our effort. She is imaginative and creative and extremely conscientious. Her classes have given me much greater mobility and have reduced my joint pain. I highly recommend yoga classes with Shannon. – Cyndee Anderson
She’s a good one
I’ve been taking classes with Shannon for a few years now. I appreciate how she challenges us but always encourages us to focus on positioning, listen to our bodies, and breathe. I think she has a good understanding of anatomy and a good sense of fun. She continues to learn new yoga techniques and brings us new things to try, which always keeps class interesting and enjoyable. – Madelaine G
Real Professional
Shannon is sincerely passionate about yoga and is incredibly knowledgeable about the details of every asana she teaches. Shannon guides us through the practice, but also always reminds us that yoga is not a set of rules, but rather an exploration of the inner-self. She encourages us to personalize asana. This leads to a beautiful co-creation during her classes. Shannon revealed and still continues teaching me very important aspects of yoga for which I am incredibly grateful. – Agne Kozlovskaja
Best Yoga Instructor Ever!
I have practiced yoga with many different instructors over the years and Shannon is by far the most technically proficient, dedicated, and enthusiastic teacher I’ve ever encountered. She’s gained a loyal following among our group and keeps us interested and challenged. Shannon continues to attend classes herself always sharing her experiences and new techniques with us. She is passionate about yoga, fitness, and health and it shows. Simply put, Shannon is the best yoga instructor ever! – Girl Group Participant
Time For Me
I love working with Shannon as she reminds me that yoga is my personal time. She’s always cautious but not afraid to push to an edge of greatness. When you think you have it down Shannon will manage to raise the bar. Focusing on your body, mind and spirit. Namaste to Shannon for what she does!! – Julie E
A Safe and Fun Experience
I had taken yoga classes at several studios prior to settling in with Shannon’s classes. Her method really clicked with me. I really appreciate her focus on correct positioning and safety, as well as her explanations of how our bodies react to poses. Shannon does a great job of keeping classes fresh and fun. I’ve been seeing her multiple times a week for several years now and I never get bored. I would recommend Shannon to any beginner, intermediate, or advanced yogini. – Cara E
Patient and gentle yogini
I was very fortunate to have Shannon as my first yoga teacher. The biggest obstacle for me was to learn to leave my ego at the door; yoga is not about perfection but instead about practice. Her first rule is do no harm to your body (ahimsa). She taught me also that yoga is also about the breath (Ujjayi) – remember to breathe! She has had such a positive impact on so many students; we are better because of her. Thank you for sharing your journey, Shan. Namaste. – Teri J
Wonderful Yoga Teacher!
Shannon is a great yoga teacher. She really cares about her clients and wants them to receive a great workout without hurting themselves. Before I met Shannon I had a lot of lower back and hip pain. Now after 4 months of classes I rarely have any pain. I have never felt better physically or mentally. I love that when I attend her class I feel comfortable enough to do the class at my level without any judgment. I am grateful that I can attend her class and benefit from her vast knowledge of yoga. – R.
Great Yoga Teacher
Shannon’s classes were my first real experience with yoga. From the beginning I have found her classes to be fulfilling, both physically and mentally. Her sincere concern for her students really shows in her teaching. She is constantly checking with students regarding their needs and tailors classes to the group as well as individuals. Shannon has brought a love and appreciation of yoga to many people. She is a wonderful person and a super teacher! – Dorothy S
Wonderful Teacher
I was so fortunate to have the opportunity to take yoga classes from Shannon during my summer in Kansas City. Though I’ve been practicing yoga for several years, it wasn’t until Shannon’s classes that I truly started to look forward to it. Her classes are fun, relaxing, and dynamic. I am inspired to continue to practice when I return home, and I am hopeful that I can find an instructor that makes the yoga experience as enjoyable as she did. – Laura N

Shannon brings so much to her teaching. Her explanations and encouragement are always positive and helpful. She plans her sessions extremely well, but is also attentive to her clients’ needs and will adapt a session accordingly. Shannon treats those around her with great respect and it is clear that she enjoys helping others. I have become more confident because she never fails to instruct. Shannon is a delightful person, kind and giving, and I feel very fortunate to be her student. – S.
Best Yoga Instructor
Shannon is great at tayloring each yoga session to fit her student(s) while continuing to building from previous sessions. She has a great way of relaxing you, deminishing stress but also energizing you at the same time. She’s great about informing you why she has you do the poses, what it does for your body and how to safely do them. Shannon has made my yoga experience so great and I highly recommend her as your yoga teacher! – Stacey Warner
Highly Recommended
Shannon is an excellent instructor. I’ve attended her classes for several years and have enjoyed them greatly. She’s very aware of each student’s fitness needs and adjusts her instruction accordingly, making sure no one gets hurt. And the benefits of the yoga practice are obvious in greater flexibility and strength which allow me to enjoy life even more. – D.
Great instructor for students of all levels
Shannon’s light-hearted teaching style combines with her strong focus on safety and proper technique to provide engaging yoga classes for students of all levels. As someone new to yoga just three years ago, I’ve greatly benefited from Shannon’s guidance and always look forward to her classes. – Jeff J.
Couples Yoga
Shannon is an excellent instructor. She has been working with my husband and me for almost a year. She has tailored activities to our specific needs and even though we are at different fitness levels she helps us each meet our fitness goals. – Carol Kemper
Workplace Chair Yoga
This is a wonderful class for those seeking to get some mid-day relief to a busy stressful work day. Shannon is a very knowledgeable Yoga instructor who takes the time to learn each students’ limitations. She incorporates new poses into each class and shows how they can be adapted for use at our desks. She makes the class fun and relaxing. This class is the perfect alternative for those who cannot attend a full Yoga class but who still want the benefits that Yoga offers. – F.
THE BEST
I have been in Shanins Fairway Chair Yoga class since she started instructing there. She is very aware that most of the “students” are older and need to temper their excercise with common sense. She has helped me with my breathing problem. Shanin is cognizant of all the people in the class and their special needs and limitations. As a very senior citizen, I heartily recommend her Chair Yoga Class to anyone that needs excercise without exertion. – Bob B.
Amazing teacher and a wonderful way to practice!
I have been in Shannon’s class over 3 years. She has expanded my understanding of yoga & she helps me dig deeper into my practice to be the best yogini I can be. She pays close attention to your movement & your poses to ensure you are doing them correctly & to make sure you don’t become injured. She is in tune with her students & cares about their needs. She has helped me understand that what I practice on the mat can be applied everyday to improve every aspect of my life. – Katie Langley
Wonderful way to learn
I started doing yoga for the very first time in January 2013. After meeting Shannon and making it through my first basic yoga class I was hooked!! Her gentle, yet encouraging way of teaching made me concentrate only on myself and not what others were doing around me. She makes sure that we are doing each pose correctly as opposed to how great we look while doing it. I feel such gratitude that I was able to start my practice with Shannon as my yogi. – Melissa Childers
Gentle Yoga With Shannon
I was fortunate enough to have Shannon be my first yoga teacher! In my 50’s! I have learned so much with her patience, encouragement, and knowledge of yoga. Shannon teaches her students from the heart. Setting an example for all of us. – Mary Johnston
Chair Yoga
I have been taking chair yoga with Shannon for over 9 months now. I work in an office and am on the computer all day. I look forward to going to her class to relax, breathe, and relieve the tension and stress from sitting at my desk. One of the nice things about the exercises Shannon has taught me is that they can be done while sitting at my desk. Shannon genuinely cares about her students and wants us to benefit from practicing yoga. – G.
Discovering yoga with Shannon
Shannon teaches chair yoga and yoga/meditation for older adults. I like her approach so much that I take two of her classes per week. She knows about body mechanics and anatomy and explains them as she teaches, which is very helpful. She guides each student to expand his or her range of motion. I didn’t know that yoga would help me so much, physically and mentally. Count me as a fan of Shannon’s gentle and encouraging style. – R.
The best yoga teacher you will ever find !!!!
I have been Shannon’s student for 2 years. Shannon is an excellent teacher, very patient, gives all her students in class individual attention. She is friendly and quite knowledgeable. Her yoga philosophy is that of Ahimsa- “to do no harm”. She practices Ahimsa in her classes so that her students don’t injure themselves and she helps ease your body into the poses over a period of time rather than force you into one. Shannon is one of the best yoga teachers that I have ever had – Lakshmi Chandrasekaren
