Pure Hot Yoga

Shannon’s yoga journey began during the hot Summer months of 2003. Her love for Bikram Yoga accelerated the undeniable calling to become an instructor. She completed a 500 HR Bikram Yoga Teacher Training a year later to begin the process of pursuing her wildest dream of bringing yoga to her most cherished community-The Dalles.

In 2008 Shannon went on to open The Dalles' first and only all yoga studio, Pure Yoga The Dalles, and a second location, Pure Yoga Hood River in 2015-still today's only hot yoga studios in The Gorge. While she loved teaching the Bikram method for over 5 years, her life took a dramatic shift in 2009 opening her up to a deepened awareness far beyond the boundariesu of Bikram Yoga. This led Shannon to embark on and complete Teacher Trainings in Vinyasa, Yin, Buti Level 1 & 2, Paddle board Yoga, Acro Yoga, Imagination Yoga for Kids, 200 HR Yoga and Social Justice Teacher Training & Trauma Informed Brain Sensitive Yoga Teacher Training, and most recently a 300 HR training w/ Yahweh Yoga
