Massie Eisner

Originally from Washington state, Shannon earned her Bachelor’s of Science in English (with Honors) with minors in French and German from the US Naval Academy.  Shannon also attended the University of Heidelberg in Germany for post-graduate studies in German, French, Spanish and Italian.

Shannon completed her yoga therapy training with Inner Peace Yoga Therapy in Arizona, which was one of the first accredited programs by the International Association of Yoga Therapists in 2013.  As part of putting her training into practice, she completed a 1000 hour internship with two healthcare facilities, providing yoga therapy sessions to both staff and patients: 90% of healthcare providers experienced a reduction of symptoms and improved relaxation after just one yoga therapy session!
