"Thanks for the experiences of Purple Lotus Yoga... When I left class each night,  I talked on the phone with my sister and shared I learned there is so much more to yoga than just being able to do the poses. My group sessions touched my heart in a special way.  Hearing the trials of the other ladies ...  their openness to share ... and the gentle way you help them along is a blessing.  I'm so thankful I'm through those kinds of trials. It's also nice to know that I've met some lovely ladies and I know they are people I can talk to ... that too is reassuring. Just wanted to say Thanks Again for the opportunities and Treasures that lay before me thanks to Purple Lotus, and I look forward to spreading the love of yoga to one another in the future."

"Shannon presents us with tools, with written wisdom, and with an informative but enlightened understanding of the development of yoga from its ancient roots to its modern practices.  She creates a safe place for self discovery and is the embodiment of the principles she coaches - the most important one being ‘you will get out of the sessions exactly what you put into it’.  

Kahlil Gibrahn says  “the teacher who is indeed wise does not bid you enter the house of her wisdom but rather leads you to the threshold of your own mind”, realizing that I now understand exactly what those words mean.  Purple Lotus led me to the deep well of wisdom and purpose within and now I go forth to do the same for others, following Shannon’s example.  You will leave the person you were always meant to be - on and off the mat."

"As a lover of learning and teaching, I had an interest in learning more about yoga but was never able to find a program that fit into my life.  Then I found Purple Lotus Yoga. Shannon's program allows for flexibility while leaving no yoga stone unturned. She treats her participants with respect and allows them to be themselves.  Her program allowed me to fulfill a longtime dream and helped me to discover my own voice. I would recommend this to program to anyone who wishes to deepen their knowledge."

"Thank you again for all you put into nurturing us ladies into better teachers. I am mostly grateful and inspired by the amount of grace, stength and sense of humor you demonstrate during each session. I have gained so much confidence and knowledge since doing Purple Lotus."

"The Purple Lotus program has changed my life in so many positive ways. Shannon knows her yoga! I can't thank her enough for being such a great, friend, mentor and leader."

"When I started Purple Lotus, I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do with yoga. Soon into the program, I realized that I wanted to share this awesome practice, science, healing tool and thing called YOGA! The inspiration and guidance I received from Purple Lotus is priceless! The hands on approach and contact adjustments I learned during this program created an awareness inside of me, and opened my eyes and heart to a vivid and wonderful journey of healing, love and compassion! I love teaching, learning and working with the most amazing people ever!"

--Andrea, Group Yoga Instructor
 
I'm not being dramatic when I say that Purple Lotus Yoga changed my life. I had always felt somewhat stifled by my stressful corporate job, but I had no intentions of leaving its security. But my soul needed something deeper, and I found that the moment I walked into my first Friday night session. Purple Lotus Yoga is accessible to anyone who feels that call to deepen their practice. Shannon emphasizes life is constantly evolving, that you don't have to be a certain personality or have a certain lifestyle, or make all-or-nothing choices."

--Lisa, Group Yoga Instructor, June 2008 Grad

"I love Purple Lotus Yoga because it allowed me the freedom to be me, whatever style and wherever I wanted! Shannon is a big proponet of not one style fits all, and not one way of doing something is good for everybody! Another thing I loved was the flexibility. I had a death in the family and I quit my very stressful job!! Shannon understood and allowed me to complete assignments at my own pace. She was always there for me!!  I would and have recommend Purple Lotus to others!!"

"In 2008 I realized that combining my passions for learning, teaching and yoga was possible when I discovered Purple Lotus.  The program was so nurturing and educational and introduced me to many new friends. I once heard someone say that "yoga finds you" and when I was ready to take my yoga practice to the next level Purple Lotus opened that door.  Yoga practice and teaching has become my life's touchstone through every change, experience and breath."

--Stacy, Group Yoga Instructor, June 2008 Grad 
"Completing Purple Lotus Yoga was one of the best things I've ever done for myself and provided such personal growth. I found confidence, encouragement, enlightenment and great friendship. Shannon provided a gentle, yet firm nudge, and also seemed to have a great sense of what each participant needs, both on and off the mat. If you're looking for a a wonderful parinama (or transformation), look no further."
