"A gifted and inspired teacher and practitioner, Shana somehow manages to combine alignment, athleticism, technique, flow and a constant awareness and overlay of a simple spiritual connection. Be prepared to work hard but Shana's excellent instructions take you to your limit without undue stress....She'll have you accessing the powerin power yoga. What she offers...is a steady stream of checkpoints and corrections that utilize the body, mind and spirit and takes you into an experience of a truly balanced practice. Intelligent, dedicated, constantly seeking new means of expression, Shana is a teacher I can't recommend highly enough."
Jerry Colker, Founder of YODO Total Fitness & Health
I've never been in a class that helps us into
positions I've only seen in books, and
marveled that anyone could even think of
doing it, and you show us that it is possible.
I love it, and am grateful for your beautiful
gift of sweet, challenging, lighthearted and
deep attitude."

"…My arms were ready to crumple (and they
did a couple times) this morning but I felt
positively challenged and really liked your
description about a second wind, about
knowing that we're strong enough, about
thinking of other things... definitely
breathing is something I forget sometimes.
How just focusing on the breath I can get through
anything."
Christina Kelso, SMPY Student
