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.

One of my favourite moments of teaching often happens before anyone arrives.

The room is ready to go for my Winter Yin Workshop at

Each mat, bolster, and block laid out with intention.

A silent offering of care.

I’m standing here and feeling the calm that fills the space as if the room itself is already practicing.

This pause really matters.
It’s where intention begins.

Soon we’ll breathe together.
But for now, I’m honouring the quiet. 🤍🤍

Join me for my ‘Replenish the Body for Winter: A Yin Yoga workshop’

Sunday 11th January, 2026
YogaFlow, Noe Valley, SF
2-4pm

Registration link 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

All levels welcome.

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

Gratitude is Earth medicine.It feeds the Spleen, steadies the mind, and reminds us of everything that holds us.**Join me...

Gratitude is Earth medicine.

It feeds the Spleen, steadies the mind, and reminds us of everything that holds us.

**Join me for a special class this Wednesday (11.26) at YogaFlow, Noe Valley, 8-9pm for a sacred journey into gratitude—woven through Yin Yoga, energy medicine, and healing sound. Link in bio under class**

In Chinese Medicine, true gratitude begins in the Spleen — the organ that helps us digest life, absorb nourishment, and feel supported from the inside out.

When the Spleen is balanced, we feel grounded, centered, and able to take in the sweetness of life.
When it’s depleted, we feel worry, overthinking, and disconnection.

This Thanksgiving Yin practice is all about Spleen nourishment:
✨ slow poses that soothe the nervous system
✨ inner-leg + belly-openers for the Spleen & Stomach meridians
✨ breath that settles you back into your center
✨ a softening into appreciation for the simple things

May you feel nourished, supported, and rooted in your own enough-ness.

May this practice remind you of the simple blessings we often forget to notice — breath, warmth, rest, connection, community.

“Silence is the sister of the divine; she reveals what we most need to hear.” (John O’Donohue)

Thank you, Mandali - and Sarah & Ty Powers - for guiding such a tender, transformational journey into the heart of silence and being human.
Everything was held with such care: nourishing meals, cozy rooms, masterful teaching. The world around us felt serene, but inside… my mind was anything but still.

Silence has this way of catching you mid-spin.
It isn’t just the absence of sound, it’s a sacred mirror, reflecting your inner landscape with startling clarity.

In that quiet, you begin to see the patterns, the wounds, the stories that shape how you meet the world.

This retreat cracked something open in me.
A truth I felt in my bones:

We are all suffering — and awakening — together.

I cried the entire plane ride home to Ireland. Not from sadness, but from a deep, tender recognition of our shared humanity.
The pain. The beauty. The longing to be seen.
It’s all part of the tapestry of being human.

This year’s silent retreat didn’t give me all the answers.
But it offered something far more precious:

A gentler way of seeing myself.
A deeper compassion for others.
And a quiet reminder of my own basic goodness.

Join me for a deliciously grounding afternoon of Yin Yoga to create harmony with the earth’s cycle of Autumn

Aligned with the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine, this workshop offers practices inspired by Autumn’s sacred invitation to pause, reflect, and turn inward — to attune to the quiet wisdom within and honor the soul’s longing to slow down and simply be.

When the energy of the Autumn body is out of balance, we may feel waves of grief, lingering sadness, or resistance to letting go. In balance, however, this season brings a deep sense of presence, emotional resilience, and the spacious breath needed to move gradually through life’s transitions.

This 2 hour mini-retreat includes:

- Yin yoga sequences lovingly curated to stimulate the Kidneys to recharge our vitality, and the Lungs to hold and process any despair and sadness
-Guided pranayama (breathwork) & meditation
-Psycho-Spiritual inquiry to reveal where you might be holding on and to explore letting go in your life
-Restorative yoga to allow the body to metabolize the benefits of this deep practice
-Sound Healing to offer vibrational frequencies that induce deep relaxation, helping to release stress and tension

Let’s set intention together for the Autumn. To emerge feeling grounded, and to embrace all that the Season of Harvest has to offer
All levels welcome.
Beginners welcome. Registration link in bio.
