ABOUT SHONDA

Shonda found her way to the mat after her trainer suggested she try yoga due to tight hamstrings. She went to Birmingham Yoga in 2014 and was introduced to Ashtanga yoga. She fell in love with it through modifications until she was able to do the full posture. She became consistent with it and attended Mysore classes to deepen her practice. In July 2019, she completed her 200 hour-training with Vulcan Yoga Teacher Training. She has a certification in Prenatal Yoga, Yoga Nidra, and Restorative Yoga. She is currently working on Yoga for All certification. She focuses on Ashtanga, Vin-Yin, Vin-Restorative, and Restorative. She wants her students to know that yoga isn’t about being perfect but progressing to your body’s potential. Always remember yoga is an ongoing journey, it doesn’t end. You learn more about yourself and body with each practice. She currently teaches at Abundance Yoga in Birmingham, Al.
