Shannon Fritz

Students leave Shannon's classes feeling grounded, powerful, and graceful. Raised in a conservative home in South Texas, Shannon spent much of her first decades lacking any real awareness or love for her body. Though she first began practicing yoga in 2005 as a way to build muscle and flexibility for rock climbing, through yoga, she has found strength and a grace for herself beyond anything she could have imagined. Following the sudden death of a pet, Shannon became interested in the nature of consciousness which led her to Tibetan Buddhist teachings. A year later, she began her 200 hour journey through yoga teacher training in Sacramento, CA at It's All Yoga with teacher Michelle Marlahan and in 2020 completed another 300 hours with the same studio, focusing on Hatha, Restorative, and the style of BKS Iyengar with an emphasis on alignment. Whether she’s leading students through a sweaty flow-style practice or cooling relaxation poses, her classes encourage awareness of sensation and breath to cultivate confidence in the intuition of the body. Joined with the physical benefits, her classes are a holistic approach to experiencing life more fully and freely.
