“As a teacher, Shaunna easily connects with her students. Having some health issues was an obstacle for me and she would always have a helpful suggestion that would limit the discomfort and keep me going. Her classes inspired me to do my best both inside and outside the class.”
YOGA FOR DESK BODIES
Also known as Wednesday Reset
Wednesdays 11:30am-12:30pm PST; Virtual & In Person
I created this class after 15 years in an office and 10 years teaching my coworkers yoga. While working, our bodies undergo a series of repetitive movements and minor injuries, especially if we hold incorrect postures or ergonomics. This class will not only support your workforce to relieve discomfort through unique drills and self massage, but also teach new patterns. I can offer this class at any time upon request.

45 MINUTE CORE
Tuesdays 11:30am-12:15pm PST; Virtual & In Person
Core strength is important not for great abs, but every day function and pain reduction. While working throughout the day, our bodies undergo a series of repetitive movements. This class will not only support your workforce to relieve discomfort, but work to build strength and teach new patterns. I can offer this class at any time upon request.

Why Yoga is So Important for Desk Workers
Sitting is more dangerous than smoking, kills more people than HIV, and more treacherous than parachuting. We are sitting ourselves to death," says James Levine, professor of medicine at the Mayo Clinic, in an interview with the LA Times. "The chair is out to kill us."
You may have heard the saying, “sitting is the new smoking,” which is credited to Dr. Levine.
He’s not the only one who believes that we're sitting ourselves to death. There’s a growing body that supports his claim and the benefits of standing desks.
Studies show that Yoga improves mood and attitude among employees, and even increases composure, elation, energy, and confidence. Yoga has been reported to increase feelings of greater self-confidence in stressful times.
Happy healthy employees tend to stay at their jobs longer. Retention saves employers money!
