“During our session with Shawn, she brought a sense of comfort and relaxation to the room. She made us freeze in the moment and appreciate the space and people around us. It was awesome to have an alumni house is through their experience!” -- Coach Hudson, RPCS Varsity Soccer

“Shawn taught an intimate, pre-wedding class for me and my bridal party the day before my wedding.  As an instructor, Shawn was calm, welcoming, professional, and able to adapt the class to accommodate both the needs of the group and the varying skill levels of the participants.  As a bride who was nervous about something going terribly wrong on her big day, the yoga session allowed me to put those worries aside and be present in the moment. I also appreciated the sense of closeness that I felt with my bridesmaids following the class.  I look forward to practicing yoga with Shawn again in the future!” -- Emily K 

“Shawn is great.  She is very attentive to her yogis’ needs, striking just the right balance in level of difficulty of poses.  She keeps the atmosphere lighthearted, but takes the practice very seriously, gently encouraging her students to do their best.  Could not be happier”. -- Ed G

“Shawn brings out the best in me as an instructor.  I always leave her practice refreshed, grounded and more present.” -- John C

“Shawn has been an exceptional teacher. What she has done well is to recognize who the students are and design the class based on their desires and abilities. I am part of a group that meets weekly and have witnessed this week after week. She works the class, throughout the session, helping each one of us get into the pose that best meets our capabilities. She brings a light hearted touch to each class and helps us be thankful for participating in the class.” -- Donald M

“I mentor first-year college students at Loyola University Maryland to help them with the transition from high school to college.  Shawn taught a session for my class the week leading up to midterm exams. A few of the students who participated in the yoga class were hesitant about giving up their “study time” to practice yoga.  Those same students reported back that the session helped them to feel more focused and ultimately to better manage their stress. My students are thankful for Shawn and asked about another class in the Spring!” -- Emily C
