Shauna Gilsdorf

Shauna Gilsdorf, E-RYT 200, Reiki Practioner, is a registered yoga instructor who discovered her passion for the art and spiritual discipline 10 years ago.  Born into a family who believed in the power of the mind/body/spirit connection, she was intrigued and compelled to learn all she could.  Shauna’s paternal grandfather studied and practiced Reflexology.  He knew intuitively the intrinsic value of movement and kept active until his death at the age of 92.  Her aunt studied Reiki and daily demonstrated the art of connecting to something bigger than ourselves.  Shauna grew up believing that the inner journey is the ultimate purpose of life, which led her to yoga.

Shauna is the mother of four children and is happily married to her best friend, Thad.  Dedicated to a life of service, she works as a Mental Health Professional on both adolescent and adult psychiatric units. As a yoga instructor, Shauna openly shares what she knows and teaches from the heart.  In her class, you can expect to be challenged mentally and physically in a genuinely caring and lighthearted manner.  Shauna believes deeply in the power of mindfulness and being present in the moment.  She believes that once you begin the yoga journey, there is no return.  Constantly inspired by her teachers and students, Shauna continues her study of yoga as she feels the best teachers remain lifelong students.
