From Bridge to Wheel: A Posture-Focused Yoga Workshop with Shawna Marie
Saturday, April 11, 2026
2:00 PM 4:00 PM
Yoga Studio (map)
Have you been practicing yoga for years…
comfortable in Bridge Pose, but quietly curious about Wheel?
This 2-hour workshop is designed for dedicated students who want to understand what it actually takes — in strength, mobility, and confidence — to explore Wheel Pose safely and sustainably.
Together, we’ll work with:
Chest-opening and spinal alignment postures
Glute and back-body strength for healthy backbending
Restorative shapes to support nervous system ease
Wall work and strap-assisted poses
Smart drills you can practice at home
You’ll also receive:
Workshop-style teaching and breakdowns
Time for questions
Optional 1:1 support and hands-on adjustments from Shawna Marie
You do not need to get into Wheel in this workshop.
The goal is to leave with tools, clarity, and confidence — so when the moment comes, you’re ready.
Pricing:
$35 Early Bird (through March 15)
$40 Regular (March 16 and after)
Open to curious, committed practitioners with a regular yoga practice.
Led by Shawna Marie (Shawna Marie Yoga)
In collaboration with Pleasure Point Sanctuary
About Shawna:
Shawna Marie has been practicing yoga and sobriety since 2012. She began studying yoga and meditation as a teenager in 2008, seeking peace in the midst of inner and outer chaos. In 2017, she completed her first 200-hour teacher training and began teaching in community spaces. A year later, she traveled to northern India to deepen her studies in yoga and Buddhism, and later completed her 500-hour certification.
Shawna now leads classes and workshops throughout California’s Central Coast, offering everything from power vinyasa to gentle flow, always infused with Ayurveda, trauma-informed language, and a deep reverence for self-inquiry. Her teaching is rooted in connection—to self, community, and the natural world. Outside the studio, Shawna works in regenerative organic agriculture, helping fundraise for climate-resilient food systems.
