Shannon Ryan
Shannon’s yoga journey began with a single class in Toronto—where she instantly felt a deep connection to the practice and was hooked! That first class sparked a passion that led her to dive deep into training, earning certifications in Yin, Restorative, Meditation, Prenatal, and Vinyasa yoga. She loves blending intuitively guided movement with mindset, weaving meaningful messages into each class.
Her teaching focuses on helping students connect with their heart centre while guiding them safely through practice. For Shannon, yoga isn’t just about poses—it’s about self-discovery, growth, and finding your path (sometimes upside down!). She’s deeply grateful to share this practice with our community, creating a space for connection, balance, growth and joy.
Description
This meditative practice combines long-held postures of Yin Yoga with the supportive, soothing elements of Restorative Yoga. This class focuses on stillness, breath awareness, and deep stretching to release tension, improve flexibility, and calm the nervous system. Props such as bolsters, blankets, and blocks are used to encourage full body surrender.
Messaging and themes will be shared to encourage mindfulness, introspection, and a deeper connection to yourself. Ideal for all levels, especially those seeking stress relief, improved mobility, and a sense of inner balance.
