Shannon Smith

Shannon Smith (LPTA/RYT 200) is a native of Rock Hill, SC and a licensed Physical Therapy Assistant who has been practicing since 1989. After discovering yoga in a continued education class in 2012, she felt like she had found something that she could do, enjoy, and share with her patients. In 2016, Shannon attended Rasika Yoga School, gaining her RYT 200 hour certification. She began teaching very soon afterwards. She enjoys teaching Beginner Basic classes and bringing yoga to everyone. She believes that every BODY can do yoga and she wants to show you how! Adjustments and adaptations can be made for any pose to be accessible. She helps bring focus to your alignment and foundation, thus decreasing the probability of injuries. In August 2020, Shannon began her own yoga business-Southern Yoga Ltd.- in a rented gym. Then in December, she was able to find space inside of her new outpatient physical therapy clinic. Shannon encourages her clients to ask questions as this helps everyone reach their potential in class. Her goal is for everyone to feel better and feel included after each class.
