About the Teacher
Why study with them?
Shawna specializes in transforming leadership lessons from the yoga world into easy-to-understand, engaging stories that inspire self-leadership in our everyday lives. She is the host of the Leadership and Yoga podcast, and a bilingual certified yoga instructor specializing in Progressive Ashtanga and Rocket.
Accessing the boldness required to bring our gifts into the world is what lights Shawna up and an attitude of inspiration in the face of what can be intimidating is what she aims to serve to the world. Shawna grew up working on a farm in the apple orchards, was the first in her family to make it to college and learned a foreign language as an adult to presentation-level fluency.
She entered the yoga world over a decade ago without being able to touch her toes and has since mastered handstanding and works hands-on weekly with students to help them learn as well.
Shawna’s love for yoga and background in the law and coaching world lead to the creation of the Leadership and Yoga podcast, and the Ritual of Writing journal, both of which emphasize the great joy that can be found in simply putting bare feet on a mat or a pen to paper.
