SheanaYoga Spiritual & Yogic practices for soulful living. I teach Yin Yoga which brings unique physical, energetic, and emotional releasing and clearing benefits. Sheanaxo

Poses are held for extended periods to lubricate joints and tissues, to practice mindfulness, and to cultivate chi flow in the body. It is often felt like a needle-less acupuncture session. Yoga has helped me discover my true nature and wake up to see who I truly am. It's not always easy but I feel alive. I wish the same for you my friend.

Join me for my ‘Replenish the Body for Winter: A Yin Yoga workshop’

Sunday 11th January, 2026
YogaFlow, Noe Valley, SF
2-4pm

Registration link in bio.

The wisdom of Winter invites us to go inward, to pause, and replenish. Yet we often continue to push against this natural cycle.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, Winter is associated with the kidneys—our wellspring of vital energy (Qi). This season can challenge us with lower back tension, fatigue, and the emotional undertones of fear and insecurity.

Yin Yoga allows us to support the Kidney Meridian, preserving balance and replenishing our inner reserves for the burst of new life that Spring will bring.

During this 2-hour immersion you will experience:

- Yin Yoga to activate the Kidney and Bladder meridians, gently opening the back body and inner thighs
- Pranayama (breathwork) & meditation to create a sacred space for releasing deep-seated tension
- Psycho-spiritual inquiry, exploring limiting beliefs around fear that may be holding you back
- Restorative Yoga to allow the body to integrate the practice’s benefits fully
- Sound Healing to realign the nervous system with soothing vibrations, inviting a profound sense of inner peace

All levels welcome.

My Seasonal Body Yin Yoga workshops sell-out so early registration is recommended.

Gratitude is Earth medicine.

It feeds the Spleen, steadies the mind, and reminds us of everything that holds us.

**Join me for a special class this Wednesday (11.26) at YogaFlow, Noe Valley, 8-9pm for a sacred journey into gratitude—woven through Yin Yoga, energy medicine, and healing sound. Link in bio under class**

In Chinese Medicine, true gratitude begins in the Spleen — the organ that helps us digest life, absorb nourishment, and feel supported from the inside out.

When the Spleen is balanced, we feel grounded, centered, and able to take in the sweetness of life.
When it’s depleted, we feel worry, overthinking, and disconnection.

This Thanksgiving Yin practice is all about Spleen nourishment:
✨ slow poses that soothe the nervous system
✨ inner-leg + belly-openers for the Spleen & Stomach meridians
✨ breath that settles you back into your center
✨ a softening into appreciation for the simple things

May you feel nourished, supported, and rooted in your own enough-ness.

May this practice remind you of the simple blessings we often forget to notice — breath, warmth, rest, connection, community.

“Silence is the sister of the divine; she reveals what we most need to hear.” (John O’Donohue)

Thank you, Mandali - and Sarah & Ty Powers - for guiding such a tender, transformational journey into the heart of silence and being human.
Everything was held with such care: nourishing meals, cozy rooms, masterful teaching. The world around us felt serene, but inside… my mind was anything but still.

Silence has this way of catching you mid-spin.
It isn’t just the absence of sound, it’s a sacred mirror, reflecting your inner landscape with startling clarity.

In that quiet, you begin to see the patterns, the wounds, the stories that shape how you meet the world.

This retreat cracked something open in me.
A truth I felt in my bones:

We are all suffering — and awakening — together.

I cried the entire plane ride home to Ireland. Not from sadness, but from a deep, tender recognition of our shared humanity.
The pain. The beauty. The longing to be seen.
It’s all part of the tapestry of being human.

This year’s silent retreat didn’t give me all the answers.
But it offered something far more precious:

A gentler way of seeing myself.
A deeper compassion for others.
And a quiet reminder of my own basic goodness.

Join me for a deliciously grounding afternoon of Yin Yoga to create harmony with the earth’s cycle of Autumn

Aligned with the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine, this workshop offers practices inspired by Autumn’s sacred invitation to pause, reflect, and turn inward — to attune to the quiet wisdom within and honor the soul’s longing to slow down and simply be.

When the energy of the Autumn body is out of balance, we may feel waves of grief, lingering sadness, or resistance to letting go. In balance, however, this season brings a deep sense of presence, emotional resilience, and the spacious breath needed to move gradually through life’s transitions.

This 2 hour mini-retreat includes:

- Yin yoga sequences lovingly curated to stimulate the Kidneys to recharge our vitality, and the Lungs to hold and process any despair and sadness
-Guided pranayama (breathwork) & meditation
-Psycho-Spiritual inquiry to reveal where you might be holding on and to explore letting go in your life
-Restorative yoga to allow the body to metabolize the benefits of this deep practice
-Sound Healing to offer vibrational frequencies that induce deep relaxation, helping to release stress and tension

Let’s set intention together for the Autumn. To emerge feeling grounded, and to embrace all that the Season of Harvest has to offer
All levels welcome.
Beginners welcome. Registration link in bio.

Join Sheana and Monique for our annual 4-day (3-night) Yoga, Meditation & Silent Retreat at the tranquil and chic .retreat nestled in the vast and sacred hills above Anderson Valley (just 2.5 hours north of San Francisco).

New Year’s Yoga, Meditation & Silent Retreat
December 29, 2025 - January 1, 2026
Whispertree, Mendocino, CA

*early bird $100 discount until 9/29*

This retreat offers daily Yoga (Mindful Flow, Yin & Restorative Yoga), meditation, 2+ days of guided-silent practice, sound healing, 3 nourishing, organic vegetarian meals daily, opening and closing rituals, free time for self-reflection, journaling, hiking, soaking in the cedar hot tub & massage (additional cost)

A portion of this retreat will offer silence as a portal to step into a sacred space of introspection. In silence, we rediscover the art of deep listening, attuning ourselves to the whispers of our soul and the insights that often elude us amidst the busyness of daily life.

The retreat practices will focus on refining this inner attunement, evolving the relationship toward self, discovering connection and mirroring with the natural world. Truly, medicine for the soul.

There will be invitations to reflect on the personal meaning of 2024, as we collectively move through the portal into the new year in the potency of silence.

Whether you are an experienced practitioner or new to the practice of silence, you will be cared for.

This retreat is very popular so early registration is recommended.

This sacred pairing - Yin Yoga & Sound Healing - is a kind of energetic alchemy.

About a year ago, I began weaving the sacred medicine of sound into my Yin Yoga offerings—and something shifted. Students began to share how the resonance of the crystal bowls seemed to carry them inward, guiding them into deeper states of surrender, and release.

Yin Yoga invites us to slow down and soften—to yield into the energetics of the body, where the layers of sensation and emotion begin to speak. As we settle into stillness, the connective tissues begin to moisten and qi—the vital life force—flows more freely through the meridians, the energetic rivers mapped by Traditional Chinese Medicine.

When sound is added, another layer of healing emerges. These vibrations don’t simply soothe the mind—they ripple through the subtle body, harmonizing what is stagnant, scattered, or held too tightly.

Sound speaks to the parts of us that words cannot reach. It meets us where we are, and lifts us gently toward where we are meant to go.

This sacred pairing—Yin & Sound—is a kind of energetic alchemy.

Join me in class every Wednesday at 8pm and Friday at 6.15pm at Yoga Flow, Noe Valley, SF to experience it for yourself.

See you in class!
