Craving something new that would present him with deeper challenges while retaining the freedom he found in running, Shawn couldn't have entered his first yoga class at a better time. The superficial attraction was there instantly; it was a great workout and it required little to partake beyond the presence of oneself.

As the depth of meaning and intention expanded through his experiences in yoga, he quickly fell deeper and deeper in love with the practice. 

For Shawn, yoga provides no finish line, only perpetual evolution towards infinite potential. He began teaching in 2007, after receiving a 50-hour certification in Power Yoga from Earth's Power and later a 200-hour certification in Hatha Yoga from Black Dog Yoga. He draws and teaches from any style which inspires him along his journey --Ashtanga, Iyengar, Anusara, Viniyoga, Power and most notably Vinyasa Flow.

At it's core, Shawn's teaching ethic is to best facilitate the individual goals of his students.
