During Shannon's third Bikram yoga class her undeniable calling to become a yoga instructor began in 2003. Today her passion driven dream has beautifully turned into her profession and reality.
Through nothing short of a miracle Shannon opened Pure Yoga The Dalles in 2008, the community's first and only all yoga studio and hot studio in the gorge and Pure Yoga Hood River in 2015. Since 2004 Shannon has been blessed to participate and certify in 16 diverse yoga teacher trainings. This has afforded her the opportunity to share yoga with a variety of populations throughout the community including youth and adults in custody, in corporate settings, a non-profit kids yoga program Shannon co-founded in local schools and in assisted living centers.
The combination of faith, breath and movement continues to reveal to Shannon that NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE! A student first, she values the importance of ever evolving knowledge and information, relishing in the opportunity to share it with you through a private session, classes, retreats or Pure Yoga 200 HR & 50 HR Yoga Teacher Trainings.
Shannon's certifications include: Bikram Yoga + recertification, Vinyasa Yoga, Imagination Yoga 1 & 2, & Teacher Curriculum, Chair Yoga, Sculpt Yoga, Yahweh Yoga, Buti Yoga 1 & 2, SUP Yoga, Trauma Informed Brain Sensitive Yoga, Yoga & Social Justice, Acro Yoga Family, Yin Yoga.
In her free time Shannon enjoys spending time with her husband and their two sons, running, cooking, and salsa dancing!
“We will never “find” the time for self-care. This quality is one we reserve space for when we arrive at the realization that we are worthy and important enough to live our best life as our best self. You are worthy-You are enough!” ~Shannon Red Cloud
