Shannon Handa, E-RYT 500
Yoga. Meditation. Spiritual Life Coach. Women's Healing Circles. Yoga Business Consultant. Currently in training to become an Ayurvedic Practitioner.
Amsterdam, Netherlands.
I first stepped onto my yoga mat in college as a Psychology & Criminology major, who was interested in the mental health benefits of the practice, as well as finding relief from an injury. However, I quickly learned that there was so much more to this profound practice that I wanted to explore, both on and off my mat.
I was based in San Francisco, California until 2016. I then traveled and taught internationally for almost a year. I'm now based in Amsterdam, Netherlands. I'm a dedicated yoga teacher who creates classes with a strong flow and focus on bringing clarity to alignment in the mind, body, & heart. My aim is to present students with the tools to feel empowered, vibrant, and compassionate towards themselves and others. To me yoga means connecting to your Highest Self, both on and off the mat. As the Bhagavad Gita says, “Yoga is the journey of the Self, through the Self, to the Self”.

So glad you're here to transform your practice!
My primary focus is to help you build a practice that makes you feel EMPOWERED, VIBRANT, & COMPASSIONATE towards yourself and others.
If you’re anything like me, I came to yoga as a means to DE-STRESS and get away from my to-do list. It helped me relax and get in touch with MY BODY, but then I also found myself struggling to fit into what I thought the “PERFECT POSE” looked like. I was always pushing myself to get there, right now. The longer I worked with this mentality, I found myself getting more frustrated because I was competing with myself & others and the goal didn’t seem any closer. Now here's the good part.
Wonderful teachers walked into my life that showed me how to approach my goals & actually get where I wanted to be, without the frustration or risk of injury! I’m here because I want to pass on that wonderful gift to YOU!
Now here's the BEST part. You showed up here with your PERFECT body, which maybe even has your own set of physical or mental injuries. Great, you’re right where you’re supposed to be! Now, there's only one way to go from here. Reach out to set up a FREE consultation, so we can see what would work best for you! Let’s make some progress by defining your goals & then help you attain them. Let's see what YOUR yoga looks like!

Women's Healing Circles
How to Show Up as Your Higher Self & Cultivate Real Connection with Others
You are your Higher Self. But in the ups and downs of life, it’s easy to lose connection to that. It’s easier to feel uninspired, disconnected, and move on auto-pilot. However, now more than ever, it’s important that you reawaken that connection. So that you move through life feeling empowered, vibrant, and find compassion for yourself and others. How you show up in your daily life can mean living your life to your fullest potential or barely getting by. The choice is always yours.
You will learn how to connect to your Higher Self and how to cultivate real connection with others. We will do short journaling exercises, partner work, and group work all intended to help you see how you show up in this world. You will learn how to fully be present with others, whether they are loved ones or strangers. You will learn how to really listen and create genuine connection, to both yourself and others. All of this, while cultivating a deep sense of community among women with an open mind and open heart!
This can be for a special event, birthday, or just because! Create a circle with friends, colleagues, or whoever you choose!
