Hi, my name is Shannen—though most people simply call me Shan!

I am a teacher, storyteller, and lifelong student of what it means to be human.

For more than twelve years, yoga has been the foundation of my work—guiding me across countries, communities, and countless conversations about growth, resilience, and the art of living well. Along the way, photography, writing, and travel became natural extensions of that inquiry, offering different ways to observe, document, and engage with the world.

My background in Anthropology and History continues to shape how I teach. I’m fascinated by the rituals, stories, and traditions that connect us, and by the subtle ways practice influences how we relate to ourselves and others.

Through retreats, immersions, private mentorship, photography, and writing, I create spaces that encourage curiosity, presence, and meaningful transformation. My intention is not simply to teach yoga, but to support a deeper exploration of practice itself—one that continues long after we leave the mat.
