SheanaYoga

Spiritual & Yogic practices for soulful living. I teach Yin Yoga which brings unique physical, energetic, and emotional releasing and clearing benefits. Sheanaxo

Poses are held for extended periods to lubricate joints and tissues, to practice mindfulness, and to cultivate chi flow in the body. It is often felt like a needle-less acupuncture session. Yoga has helped me discover my true nature and wake up to see who I truly am. It's not always easy but I feel alive. I wish the same for you my friend.

Join Sheana and Monique for our annual 4-day (3-night) Yoga, Meditation & Silent Retreat at the tranquil and chic .retreat nestled in the vast and sacred hills above Anderson Valley (just 2.5 hours north of San Francisco).

New Year’s Yoga, Meditation & Silent Retreat
December 29, 2025 - January 1, 2026
Whispertree, Mendocino, CA

*early bird $100 discount until 9/29*

This retreat offers daily Yoga (Mindful Flow, Yin & Restorative Yoga), meditation, 2+ days of guided-silent practice, sound healing, 3 nourishing, organic vegetarian meals daily, opening and closing rituals, free time for self-reflection, journaling, hiking, soaking in the cedar hot tub & massage (additional cost)

A portion of this retreat will offer silence as a portal to step into a sacred space of introspection. In silence, we rediscover the art of deep listening, attuning ourselves to the whispers of our soul and the insights that often elude us amidst the busyness of daily life.

The retreat practices will focus on refining this inner attunement, evolving the relationship toward self, discovering connection and mirroring with the natural world. Truly, medicine for the soul.

There will be invitations to reflect on the personal meaning of 2024, as we collectively move through the portal into the new year in the potency of silence.

Whether you are an experienced practitioner or new to the practice of silence, you will be cared for.

This retreat is very popular so early registration is recommended.

This sacred pairing - Yin Yoga & Sound Healing - is a kind of energetic alchemy.

About a year ago, I began weaving the sacred medicine of sound into my Yin Yoga offerings—and something shifted. Students began to share how the resonance of the crystal bowls seemed to carry them inward, guiding them into deeper states of surrender, and release.

Yin Yoga invites us to slow down and soften—to yield into the energetics of the body, where the layers of sensation and emotion begin to speak. As we settle into stillness, the connective tissues begin to moisten and qi—the vital life force—flows more freely through the meridians, the energetic rivers mapped by Traditional Chinese Medicine.

When sound is added, another layer of healing emerges. These vibrations don’t simply soothe the mind—they ripple through the subtle body, harmonizing what is stagnant, scattered, or held too tightly.

Sound speaks to the parts of us that words cannot reach. It meets us where we are, and lifts us gently toward where we are meant to go.

This sacred pairing—Yin & Sound—is a kind of energetic alchemy.

Join me in class every Wednesday at 8pm and Friday at 6.15pm at Yoga Flow, Noe Valley, SF to experience it for yourself.

See you in class!

I just returned from hosting our women’s retreat in Costa Rica, and my heart is full 💗

I’m filled with deep gratitude to witness the fun, the courage, the softening, and the transformation of the women who attended. I’m also grateful for my own personal insights and growth that continue to unfold and show me the path forward.

For 7 days, we created a loving container—held by the jungle, the ocean, by each other, and by something greater. A powerful sisterhood was born. Though our time together was short, the memories and shifts will ripple through us for a lifetime.

Thank you to the women who showed up so fully and trusting us to take you there. Thank you to the jungle for holding us. And a very special thank you to Monique who has been my one and only co-lead, sister, teacher and companion on the path for many years. Very grateful for you 💗

Return to Your Inner Sanctuary

So often, we search for peace in the outer world—through accomplishments, approval, or fleeting comforts. But in my own journey, I’ve come to know that the truest sanctuary—the one my soul longs for—lives within.

It is not found through my striving, but through my softening.

By turning inward and attuning to my inner realms—what many wisdom traditions call the energy body or the subtle body—we begin to remember the sacred wholeness that has always been there.

This is the doorway to deep rest, to truth, to the quiet pulse of the divine within.

❤️in Yin Yoga, we access the energy body through long-held, passive shapes that nourish the Chinese meridian system—the invisible rivers of Qi (life force) flowing through us.

❤️ by targeting meridians like the Lung to release grief, the Heart to reconnect to joy, or the Kidney to restore vitality, we clear emotional stagnation and come back into balance.

❤️ this practice invites us beyond the noise of the mind, into the subtle rhythm of the breath and the still, sacred truth of the heart.
Here, we soften. We feel. We remember.

This is the path home.

Your sanctuary isn’t out there. It’s you, fully felt and deeply known.

See you in class Wed’s @ 8pm and Fri’s @ 6.15pm at YogaFlow in Noe Valley SF. LInk in bio.

Through heart-centered yoga, meditation, and psycho-spiritual inquiry, we’ll explore the layers of self with curiosity and compassion.

This retreat also includes transformational experiences led by local facilitators, including a cacao ceremony to open the heart and sound healing journeys to integrate and embody our work.

Winter is certainly here! Join me at one of my ‘Replenish the Body for Winter Yin Yoga workshops’ to balance the energy in the body for Winter.

Same event on two different dates in SF:

Sunday 12th January 2025
YogaFlow, Noe Valley, SF
2-4pm

And

Sunday 23rd February 2025
The Center SF
2-4pm
Arrive early to enjoy complimentary tea

Registration links in bio.

The wisdom of Winter invites us to go inward, to pause, and replenish. Yet we often continue to push against this natural cycle.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, Winter is associated with the kidneys—our wellspring of vital energy (Qi). This season can challenge us with lower back tension, fatigue, and the emotional undertones of fear and insecurity.

Yin Yoga allows us to support the Kidney Meridian, preserving balance and replenishing our inner reserves for the burst of new life that Spring will bring.

During this 2-hour immersion you will experience:

- Yin Yoga to activate the Kidney and Bladder meridians, gently opening the back body and inner thighs
- Pranayama (breathwork) & meditation to create a sacred space for releasing deep-seated tension
- Psycho-spiritual inquiry, exploring limiting beliefs around fear that may be holding you back
- Restorative Yoga to allow the body to integrate the practice’s benefits fully
- Sound Healing to realign the nervous system with soothing vibrations, inviting a profound sense of inner peace

You’ll emerge feeling replenished, grounded, and ready to embrace Winter’s gifts with open arms.

All levels welcome.

My Seasonal Body Yin Yoga workshops sell-out so early registration is recommended.

I’m excited to announce I’ll be teaching Yin Yoga with Sound Healing at The Portal Marin the *First Sunday of every month*. Join me for the next event:

Sunday 3rd November, 2024
6.30-7.45 pm

See link in bio to reserve your spot.

Join me for an immersive Yin Yoga and Sound Healing journey, where the ancient wisdom of Chinese Medicine meets the profound touch of inner exploration.

Yin Yoga, deeply intertwined with Chinese Medicine, offers a unique approach to holistic well-being. Through its gentle, prolonged holds and emphasis on surrendering, Yin Yoga awakens the body’s meridian system, ensuring a smooth, revitalizing flow of Qi, our vital life force.

This activation of energy doesn’t just enhance physical flexibility and joint health—it also promotes emotional balance and mental clarity.

By targeting the deeper connective tissues, Yin Yoga fosters a unique sense of inner calm and tranquility, inviting you to release stored stress and tension. After each hold, the experience can feel euphoric, gently guiding you into the depths of your own spiritual being.

My approach is enriched with psychospiritual inquiry, supporting you in peeling back the layers of conditioned patterns and beliefs that often cause suffering. Through this journey, discover greater self-awareness & inner attainment, emotional connection, and a doorway to spiritual insight.

Step into this sanctuary, surrender to the healing sounds, and connect with the truth within. Reserve your spot and join us in this sacred, soul-nourishing experience. 🧘‍♀️🧘🏿‍♀️ ❤️
