Shalan Hill, Co-owner, Yoga & Bodywork Expert

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.
