Shawn's
study of yoga in asana began about 8 years ago.
She came upon the asana practice to create ease
in her meditation practice which is about 10 years
old. She is a trained body worker from The Body
Therapy Institute in Santa Barbara, Ca. where
she is originally from. While practicing with
such great Santa Barbara teachers as Cheri Clampett
and Tina Brandt she was introduced to John Friend
and has practiced and taught in the Anusara tradition
since completing his teacher training 2 years
ago. Soon following she had the honor of participating
in Erich Schiffmann's teacher training.
Shawn thinks of her practice as eclectic which
leads her teaching to a more intuitive place which
honors the Divine art of individual form. She
combines the playfulness and precision of John
Friend, the freedom and exploration of Erich Schiffmann
and the subtle awareness and detail of Tias Little
to her asana practice as well as her everyday
life as a mother of two, teacher and small business
owner.
