Shannon Ardo

Hi. My name is Shannon.

I began practicing hatha and vinyasa style yoga in 2005 as a step on the path to self-love. At the time I discovered hatha yoga, I struggled with making myself a priority. So my mat became my sanctuary and I immediately fell in love with the practice.  I am endlessly grateful to all of my teachers who have inspired me to take the opportunity to guide yogis and I am honored to share this light with others. I received my certification of E-RYT 500 & E-RYT 200 teacher registered with Yoga Alliance through Corepower Yoga in Colorado.  I currently teach at my local studio and maintain a steady self practice in order to stay engaged to the yoga community.  

I ground my students in an ongoing awareness of breath while guiding them through poses with clear directions, modelling, and hands-on adjustments. I infuse my passion for yoga in each posture, giving gentle and encouraging cues with particular emphasis on, playfulness and enjoyment of the present moment. Gently spiritual in my approach, I provides a physical workout that students of all levels can easily modify. I feel its important to teach to the mid skill level of the group. This allows the opportunity for growth for some and a feelings of accomplishment for students.

In my free time, I enjoy hiking the mountains and exploring the waterfalls in my beautiful state.  I use my creativity when I travel and enjoy capturing candid yoga pictures in destinations throughout the world.
