Shannon is the founder and heart behind Aura Studio NYC — a sacred space on the Upper West Side devoted to intentional movement, deep healing, and community connection. She is also the founder of UrbanNomadYoga, where for years she has guided transformative yoga practices in Central Park, inviting individuals to reconnect with nature, their inner stillness, and a collective sense of belonging.

Her journey spans over a decade and five continents, rooted in a lifelong curiosity for the healing arts. With certifications in yoga, Pilates, Reiki, sacred massage, and emotional release, Shannon brings a deeply intuitive and integrative approach to everything she offers — from grounded breathwork to soulful movement and subtle energetic work.

Born and raised just blocks from the studio, Shannon’s connection to this neighborhood is intimate and reverent. Aura is her love letter to the Upper West Side — a space built with devotion to the land and the people who’ve shaped her path. After years of traveling the world hosting retreats and guiding others into their healing, she’s come home — and invites you to do the same.

Shannon’s classes are more than movement — they are invitations to return to your body, your breath, and your truth. Whether guiding a powerful yoga flow, a centering Pilates sequence, or a subtle energy healing session, her work is always in service of helping others remember who they are beneath the noise.
