3. Finding Growth from Discomfort w/ Shanna Farnsworth
Today we have Shanna Farnsworth to share her journey on growth from discomfort. From the vibrant streets of NYC to the beautiful landscapes of Northern California, Shanna’s yoga journey is a testament to the transformative power of the practice.
Fifteen years ago, she stumbled upon a free class in a church basement, and from that moment, she was captivated by yoga’s ability to nourish the body and calm the mind. Fast forward several years, amidst the whirlwind of young motherhood, Shanna embarked on her first yoga teacher training as a way to reclaim a piece of herself.
Now, as a seasoned instructor, Shanna is renowned for her unique approach to class planning, combining creativity with intelligent sequencing. She currently mentors a thriving online community of over 250 yoga teachers, providing sequencing information, playlist guidance, and tips and tricks to improve their teaching. Shanna’s ultimate goal is for teachers to walk into a studio prepared and ready to teach, so they can confidently lead a class and build a meaningful connection with their students—without stress.
