E-500hr RYT Yoga Teacher

Hi, I’m Shannon!

I am an E-500 RYT Yoga Alliance certified teacher, and have been teaching in the Maidstone area since 2015. Since completing my initial training, I have certified in; Yoga For Stress, burnout and Fatigue, Mindfulness and Meditation, Restorative Yoga, Yin Yoga, and am an accredited BWY (British Wheel of Yoga) teacher of (MY) Menopause Yoga™️. I have also completed (with intention to further my stud

ies) a six month Introduction course in Ayurveda. One must never stop learning and growing! Yoga is a great tool for improving both physical and mental wellbeing. And as someone who has benefited enormously from the practice, I believe strongly in the healing, transformative effects it can have. I offer fun, friendly and inclusive yoga classes, and approach them with warmth, compassion, and a sense of humour. All levels of experience and ability are welcome. I hope to see you on the mat soon!

“As the Earth finds equilibrium today, may you leave with a sense of inner balance- grounded, open, and ready to grow.”

“Women need real moments of solitude and self-reflection to balance out how much of ourselves we give away.” Barbara de Angelis

This is for the strong women who are giving their all to those they feel drawn to support and love, but sometimes forget they also need to offer themselves that same support and love.

Taking time for yourself isn’t selfish — it’s foundational. When we constantly pour into others without refilling our own cup, we slowly run on empty. Self-love is really about awareness: noticing when you’re tired, when you need quiet, when you need joy, and honoring that without guilt.

I especially love the idea of “healing the cracks of daily life.” Those little pauses — a quiet morning coffee, a walk in fresh air, journaling your thoughts, turning your phone off for an hour — they mend more than we realise. They help us return to ourselves. And when we feel whole, we love others from abundance instead of exhaustion.

Doing one thing every day that fills your soul doesn’t have to be big. It can be:
•Sitting in silence for 5 minutes
•Listening to a song that moves you
•Saying “no” when you mean it
•Moving your body in a way that feels good
•Speaking kindly to yourself

When was the last time you truly felt present with yourself — without distraction, without responsibility, just you?

In an asana, the mind has to reach inside the body to find a quiet space until a point comes where perfect balance is felt. -Geeta Iyengar

The holiday season is upon us, and life is getting busier. Let's take an example moment to slow down. You're invited to join me for an online restorative yoga evening where we'll rest, restore, and reset. This practice is designed to help you pause and find some calm.

“The Moon can only fill up once it becomes empty. And it can only shine in all its glory once it’s gone through its darkest expression.” — Carl Jung

I was wondering if mother moon would be visible this evening due to such rainy conditions. I walked into the kitchen and boom! The moonlight filled the space. Tonight’s full moon is not only the last of the year. It’s the final super moon of the year. What a magical sight ❤️

“THE DECEMBER FULL MOON NAMES:

FULL COLD MOON, LONG NIGHTS MOON, OAK MOON
THE NIGHTS ARE AT THEIR LONGEST AND THE COLD HAS SETTLED IN FOR THE LONG WINTER AHEAD. THE WORLD SILENTLY RESTS AS THE COLD WINTER PASSES THROUGH. THE MOON RIDES HIGH IN THE SKY TO LIGHT THE LONG, COLD, STILL WINTER NIGHTS.

THE DECEMBER FULL MOON IS ABOUT FINDING THE STRENGTH AND STEADFASTNESS TO GET THOUGHT THE WINTER AHEAD. IT IS A TIME TO SEE, FOR A MOMENT, THE LONG VIEW OF OUR LIFE PATH; A TIME TO SLOW TO A STEADY PACE THAT WILL SUSTAIN US UNTIL SPRING ARRIVES WITH ITS INVIGORATING ENERGY.”
