Yoga Shines

Shannon is a wonderful yoga teacher! I always feel so good after each class and feel grateful for such a lovely practise. Shannon really allows you to make the practise your own, go at your own pace and listen to your body, whilst also challenging you a little though guidance and support. Shannon has a wealth of yoga experience and knowledge and that really comes through in her teaching.

I have been practising yoga with Shannon since November 2019. Shannon is an excellent yoga teacher and I recommend her highly if you are considering yoga. I have learnt so much already from working with Shannon. Shannon has helped me understand how to work with the mind and body I bring to a session that day, rather than trying to always move my body as I think it should! This has been hugely helpful for me, making my practice more meaningful and helping me become less self competitive and self critical. Shannon is brilliant at breaking down the positions to ensure everyone understands options, always starting with a less challenging version and being very clear that progression to more challenging is optional and dependent on how each person feels. There is never judgement, only encouragement to work to what feels good and always options to adapt positions further if needed.
Shannon brings a sense of calm and peace to all her classes. She guides through each class gently, with compassion and a sense of caring for each person practicing. There is always a wonderful energy in the classes and a sense of safety to allow questions, and sometimes shared laughing for the more difficult things!
I honestly do not know how I would have managed lock down without Shannon continuing to support me with yoga practice - via zoom. This was of course a very different way to practice but almost immediately Shannon found a way to offer classes - I am not sure how to find the words to thank her for being so adaptable, or praise for being able to transfer all the wonderful elements of practicing with her in person so brilliantly across zoom.
I leave every session feeling gratitude for that time and for knowing Shannon.

Taking a class in a beautiful woodland garden is an amazing way to experience Shannon’s wonderful yoga classes! She’s an exceptional teacher full of positivity, energy and kindness and her yoga reflects this . I’ve been along to Friday and recently Monday classes and can’t wait for the Saturday morning session at the reserve. Shannon has ironed out all my lockdown stress and I feel calmer, happier and more aware of own body. Sessions are mixed ability, small group (social distanced) and differentiated to suit all, with clear instructions that encourage you to move and develop at your own pace. Thank you Shannon, your sessions have been a truly fabulous way start to my day x

Shannon is an amazing yoga teacher who incorporates an holistic approach to her teaching. Classes are fun, relaxing and always different in a positive way. Shannon is a hugely positive person and brings an element of laughter to her classes. Her mixture of classes makes yoga accessible to all.

I ❤️ Yoga Shines. Shannon is so knowledgeable and experienced and knows how to get us to challenge ourselves to get the most from our practice. We are always advised to listen to our bodies. Best of all, her classes are fun, happy places to be. I always look forward to yoga with Shannon.

I love Shannon’s classes! She is always happy, welcoming and helpful and it doesn’t matter whether you’re a beginner or an expert, she will tailor a move to what you can achieve and encourage you all the way. I’ve not done a face to face class for a very long time but the zoom classes have been fab! Easy to follow and still with Shannon’s friendly personal touch. Namaste!

Shannon is a fantastic instructor, her sessions are always enjoyable. Having experienced energetic, relaxing and restorative sessions created to suit our needs I believe you'll not find a more widely knowledgable or flexible (ha ha) yoga instructor.

I love attending Shannon’s yoga classes! Shannon is so down to earth and makes you feel very welcome. She encourages you to push yourself further but at the same time I never feel silly if I can’t quite do something as she provides you with lots of modifications. Thank you Shannon! 🙏🏻
