Shalan Hill, co-owner of The Posture Project, is a Licensed and
Certified Massage Therapist (CMT & LMT) and a Certified Yoga
Teacher. She is privileged to inspire greatness in others as a Manduka
Ambassador and was featured in the
Manduka 2012 Summer Catalog.
Shalan began her study of yoga in 1998 and has been teaching since 2001
in the Woodstock area. Her initial years of experience with Yoga
trained her in the Hatha Yoga (traditional) style with focus on
Kundalini Yoga which involves Pranayama (breathing techniques to promote
energy movement and balance). She completed her credentials for her
200 hour Yoga Alliance training gaining more knowledge of the Iyengar
tradition and started her own Ashtanga practice, as well. She continues
her yoga training weekly to gain more insight and options for her
students. An experienced teacher, Shalan has been focused mainly on
teaching yoga to beginners. Shalan intuitively promotes a gentle style
of yoga that listens to the needs of the energy of the group while
getting specific with the actions of your body, breath, and focus in
each pose. Her mission is to help you find what your body CAN do as a
starting place and to utilize your breath, your inner vision, and to
stretch and strengthen body, mind, and spirit.
Shalan graduated from The Academy of Somatic Healing Arts (ASHA)
massage school in Norcross, GA in 2000 with certificates in
Neuromuscular Therapy, Sports Therapy, and Swedish Massage. She has
worked with chiropractors and has experience with massage in spa and
yoga settings. She specializes in working with the subtle energies of
the body through CranioSacral Therapy, Reiki, and Energy Balancing.
Shalan also excels in Myofascial Release, Postural Balancing, and pain
relief. Shalan saw the value of combining bodywork and yoga to help
people achieve and maintain greater balance and health in their life and
was inspired to open The Posture Project.
