Shannon
Massie Eisner

Shannon completed her yoga therapy training with Inner Peace Yoga Therapy in Tucson, Arizona, which was one of the first accredited programs by the International Association of Yoga Therapists (IAYT) 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!

Originally from Washington state, Shannon earned a Bachelor's of Science in English (with Honors) from the US Naval Academy. Having been an athlete at the Naval Academy and  experienced the physical demands as a Marine Corps officer, Shannon continues to value health and is grateful for her yoga journey and its holistic perspective to health and well-being.
