Shannon Rauch

Shannon was raised in upstate New York and moved to Cape Cod after college in 2012. With a background and career in Biology, yoga had long been part of her life simply as a hobby. Shannon was introduced to yoga around 2010 and has practiced a number of different yoga styles from Yin to Bikram to Vinyasa flow. She's found the physical practice of yoga to be very complimentary to other activities she enjoys like running, hiking, skiing, and roller skating. After recognizing how valuable yoga has been to her physical and mental well-being over the years, Shannon decided to deepen her understanding of yoga by pursuing her 200-hour teacher training through Cape Cod Yoga School, graduating in spring 2022. Through her training, she came to learn how much she enjoys teaching and sharing the joy of yoga with others. Shannon aims to teach classes that are accessible and welcoming to all. She encourages students to explore postures in ways that honor their own needs and to use the breath as a tool to center the body and mind.
