Shasta loves to see her students recognize, access, and SHINE the greatness within them.

She is skilled at cracking the lockbox of limitation and revealing one's inner gifts. She is a feisty champion of creating an unlimited life where ease, joy, and freedom reign, regardless of the circumstances. Hers is the guiding hand outstretched to all who are ready to safely create the next big, beautiful chapter of their life.

Shasta’s expertise in these matters does not come from a few letters behind her name, but from her own investigation, learning, and journey. Thanks to this, her offerings are not regurgitated from another’s textbook, but from her own personal evolution and inner guidance. 

Her playful nature and warm smile reflect her great joy for this work and for life itself.  She is especially adept at helping clients unravel the knots of not-enough-ness with humour and grace.  Evidence of her gift is apparent in a multitude of success stories from her happy students, and retreat participants.

She is the creator of Balanced Life Yoga in Ajax, Ontario, Canada and is the best-selling author of Happy, Sexy, Shameless – What Our Mother’s Didn’t Know About the Birds and the Bees.  Connect with Shasta at www.shastatownsend.com, or www.balancedlifeyoga.ca
