Born and raised in the Seattle area, Shawna is a 200 hour certified yoga instructor, a lover of movement at heart, a motivational speaker and a yoga and meditation leadership coach.
Students often view Shawna as a coach in the yoga studio and she strives to provide the opportunity for students to learn something about themselves and walk away with new insight after every class.
It is her priority for students to feel seen, inspired and safe to find whatever level of challenge they are open to. She is here to strategically guide students through an Ashtanga-based practice and to be a catalyst for change— whether that’s through 1:1 adjustments, technical alignment tips, or simply providing accountability and motivation.
Shawna grounds her practice in constant evolution. Most recently, she trained with Ashtanga Yoga Puerto Rico to complete her second 200 hour certification. Her own personal practice started in 2015 as a family activity before morphing into a passion she now takes pride in sharing with others.
