Shannon

Founder of UrbanNomadYoga

When you arrive at UrbanNomad YOGA IN CENTRAL PARK, there's a good chance that Shannon will be the warm and welcoming face to greet you.

For the past 10 years, Shannon has delved deep into the study and exploration of various forms of healing and movement. Her expertise extends far beyond just yoga. Shannon is a specialist in yoga, tantric ritual, sacred massage, emotional release, and a reiki master. These diverse skills allow her to create a holistic approach to healing and well-being.


One aspect that sets Shannon apart is her extensive experience providing these gifts to others during retreats across five continents. As a result, she has had the privilege of traversing the globe, holding space for individuals seeking inner peace and transformation. Her work encompasses creating a sacred space for others to connect with their spirituality and find solace within themselves.

As a true native of New York City, hailing from the Upper West Side, Shannon possesses an innate knowledge of Central Park and its hidden gems. She knows exactly where to find the best spot on the grass and even the spots where the squirrels will come close enough to eat out of your hand. Shannon's connection to her city and extensive experience in Central Park make her the perfect guide for those seeking not just a yoga experience, but also an opportunity to connect with the local community.


Shannon's ultimate goal is to create a sense of communal practice where like-minded individuals can come together to share their yoga journeys. Through the act of sharing our practices, we connect more deeply not only to ourselves but also to our fellow neighbors. Shannon believes that by fostering this sense of community, we can develop strong bonds and support one another in our individual paths towards self-discovery.
