"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 power in 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."
Deborah Jones, Spectrum Club Student

yoga instructor. I really feel that it was
through your instruction that I found the
clarity to pursue a path of starting my own
business."

"…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
