Whether she is teaching an energetic & powerful class or a slow & deep practice, but she always encourages students to be present with their bodies and tune in. Shannon believes that no matter what the pace of the class is, it should be ?juicy? (with a playlist to match). In her classes you can expect hands on adjustments and guided meditations as well. Her teaching emphases on awakening your body to clear your mind.  She has a passion for yoga, meditation, as well as other contemplative practices and is inspired to guide others towards physical, mental, and spiritual well-being.
