“We prefer to explore the universe by traveling inward”
Nnedi Okorafor, Binti
Welcome! My name is Shavaun and I am a 500-hour certified yoga instructor and sound healing practitioner. My yoga journey began in 2012 with Anacostia Yogi, a small group yoga class in my Washington, DC neighborhood. After sharing practice together, students shared conversation and a vegetarian meal together, helping me see the possibilities for creating community around the mat. I returned to my hometown of Louisville, KY and in 2017 completed a 200-hour yoga teacher training program at Eternal Health Yoga. I soon began teaching yoga to my family, friends, and neighbors, reminding me of yoga’s powerful healing and community-building possibilities.
In 2023 and 2024, I continued my yoga journey by completing a 300-hour teacher training program with I Am Yoga and expanding into sound healing techniques with The Inner Warrior and Mind Body Music Center. I now incorporate the sounds of crystal bowls, chimes, and other healing instruments into my offerings. You can find me teaching weekly classes at The Inner Warrior and hosting community classes for grassroots organizations.
I’m excited to continue my journey with you!
