Shannon Metelko
Shannon grew up studying dance at the Fine Arts Association and was introduced to Yoga as a pre-holiday wind-down in modern class. The imagery and focus of breath made an impact, and she slowly began her Yoga journey, finding Harmony classes tucked inside DTW. While living in Colorado, she continued her practice and began to find movement and breath inspired by nature. While in Chicago, she found her practice strengthening into a daily ritual and knew it was time to learn more from teacher training. Shannon received her 200 hour certification in India from Ashtak Yoga School, studying under Dr. Gaurav Malik.
Whether the class is a Hatha or Vinyasa style, she aims to cue her teaching in a way that aids each student in aligning the body and mind to find a moving meditation and, of course, a juicy savasana.
