Welcome to Purple Lotus Yoga

You have this crazy, driving idea that you want to teach. Or maybe it's quieter, like a whisper. Perhaps you're already instructing and wish to do more with your yoga. Whichever it is...it's taken hold and won't let go. GOOD! Why? Because students need YOU.

This thing called YOGA?


It's HUGE. Bigger than you. Bigger than me. And it needs all the caring, compassionate, and conscientious teachers it can get.

You're pretty sure this is what you want to do. You love what yoga's done for you and you want to share that gift with others. However you don't feel like you have enough KNOWLEDGE to safely guide students in and out of poses. Or you need a step-by-step plan to expand your purpose in the yoga world.

You hate to admit it, but you lack CONFIDENCE. You can't do Adho Mukha Vrksasana (you're not even sure what that means) and you don't think you look like what a yoga teacher should. You're scared (yet excited) out of your wits to get up and do this.

Is your heart beating faster?

    Then you’re ready if. . .

  • You believe yoga is more than the poses and while knowledge of the postures is the first step in becoming a highly qualified instructor, it is not the only one.
  • You believe it doesn't matter what you look like, your size or shape or what poses you can and can't do. It's about your heart, your passion, and your desire.
  • You're ready for a new career, or a second one, that is heart-centered and fulfills you physically, mentally, spiritually and financially.
  • You need flexibility in scheduling or out-of-the-box solutions because you have important commitments to work around.
  • You need this for YOU. You need something that feeds your soul. You're ready for a transformation.

    • Purple Lotus Yoga is here to serve

    I'm Shannon and many years ago I wondered if I could ever teach yoga and be any good at it. Wondered if I could impact my students as much as my instructors had impacted me. Just as I had no idea that my first yoga class would forever change the trajectory of my life, I had no idea that becoming a teacher would lead me to my life's purpose.


    Fast forward 14 years. I LOVE what I do. I work with people whose main desire is to help others become healthier and happier. I get to watch as the light grows bigger and brighter the closer they get to making their secret dream into reality. Every training session I witness beautiful, incredible transformations and it sets my soul afire!


    I believe that great teachers and yogi-preneurs are made, not born. Good teachers acquire the appropriate skills. Great teachers acquire skills and combine it with their inherent heart, passion and desire. At Purple Lotus Yoga, not only will you gain the appropriate skills, you will also uncover, unearth and eliminate the self-limiting beliefs that keep you from being the GREATEST teacher you're supposed to be.


    We do that by offering:

      separator

      • Multiple locations throughout the state and nation.
      • Coaching and mentoring in group and 1:1 settings

    Ready To Bloom?

    ready to bloom You used to be stressed to your limits. You were tired all the time. Cranky. It was too easy too lose your focus, not to mention your temper. Then one day something or someone inspired, cajoled, bribed, threatened, or literally dragged you to your first yoga class.

Her program allowed me to fulfill a longtime dream and helped me to discover my own voice." -Stacey Zagortz, December 2010 Grad
