Personally, she loves to practice kundalini and mysore. She is also an active member of the community. She is honored to serve as a board member of Sweet Om Alabama – a non-profit whose mission is to spread yoga to populations who would not normally have access otherwise. She also teaches weekly at AIDS Alabama to those with HIV and in recovery through a program called LIBCAP. She has experience working with a range of chronic illnesses and disorders such as, fibromyalgia, depression, bipolar and eating disorders.
From personal experience she knows the transformative impact that yoga can have on your health and overall well-being. Her mission is to share with others the practical techniques she has learned that have helped her overcome the challenges she has faced. Shannon strives to make each class a fun, informative and a healing learning experience about life, yourself and the world around you. Much gratitude to her teachers and students for sharing this path with her, may yoga bring you much joy and many blessings!
