    DESCRIPTION:

    Have you been practicing yoga for years…
    comfortable in Bridge Pose, but quietly curious about Wheel?

    This 2-hour workshop is designed for dedicated students who want to understand what it actually takes — in strength, mobility, and confidence — to explore Wheel Pose safely and sustainably.

    Together, we’ll work with:

    • Chest-opening and spinal alignment postures

    • Glute and back-body strength for healthy backbending

    • Restorative shapes to support nervous system ease

    • Wall work and strap-assisted poses

    • Smart drills you can practice at home

    You’ll also receive:

    • Workshop-style teaching and breakdowns

    • Time for questions

    • Optional 1:1 support and hands-on adjustments from Shawna Marie

    You do not need to get into Wheel in this workshop.
    The goal is to leave with tools, clarity, and confidence — so when the moment comes, you’re ready.

    Pricing:

    • $35 Early Bird (through March 15)

    • $40 Regular (March 16 and after)

    Open to curious, committed practitioners with a regular yoga practice.

    Led by Shawna Marie (Shawna Marie Yoga)
    In collaboration with Pleasure Point Sanctuary

    About Shawna:

    Shawna Marie has been practicing yoga and sobriety since 2012. She began studying yoga and meditation as a teenager in 2008, seeking peace in the midst of inner and outer chaos. In 2017, she completed her first 200-hour teacher training and began teaching in community spaces. A year later, she traveled to northern India to deepen her studies in yoga and Buddhism, and later completed her 500-hour certification.

    Shawna now leads classes and workshops throughout California’s Central Coast, offering everything from power vinyasa to gentle flow, always infused with Ayurveda, trauma-informed language, and a deep reverence for self-inquiry. Her teaching is rooted in connection—to self, community, and the natural world. Outside the studio, Shawna works in regenerative organic agriculture, helping fundraise for climate-resilient food systems.
