Shawn Bannon

SHAWN Bannon - is a certified yoga instructor with YogaFit, as well as a certified Drums Alive instructor & Zumba instructor. Shawn has always had a passion for fitness since he was a child. An athlete starting in elementary school, he competed competitively in a multitude of sports. His drive to become a full-time group fitness instructor came a little later in life as he spent much of his years as Production Manager for TV shows on Discovery, RLTV, and many others. And he was the Assistant Project Manager for the Kennedy Center’s “Millennium Stages” in Washington, DC. He also spent several years out of school as a Private Banker at a large national bank and then moved to the investment firm Morgan Stanley.

Never losing his passion for fitness, a friend of his encouraged Shawn to pursue a career in Group Fitness. Starting with YogaFit as an aid to teach him how to relax and focus, he fell in love with teaching. His drive and excitement is well suited to help motivate others to never give up on themselves and to have fun with their fitness classes. He was introduced to Drums Alive and was immediately drawn to its power to not only help the physical body... but the entire body, mind & soul of all people... of all ages, shapes, physically challenged, and of all fitness levels. That passion also drove Shawn to receive his certification in Zumba.

Shawn is a proud member of: YogaFit Wordwide, AFAA (Aerobics and Fitness Association of America), & IDEA Health & Fitness Association
