Shana provides online 1-1 practice support to our members\, and provides workshops for our 30 Days of Zen Course and sesshins. \nShana discovered yoga in 1990 and began attending regular classes in several different styles of yoga. After several years of ardent practice and study\, she began to teach at her local studio and Yoga Temple.  Shana became interested in the sensations and insights she experienced in Savasana\, which led her to begin a regular meditation practice and in 2007 took refuge in the Sanbo Zen Lineage\, and recently become a Sanbo Zen Assistant teacher.  Over the years\, she has found a tremendous synergy between Yoga and Zen\, and integrates the two in her daily\, committed practice.
