Yoga Stories: Shannon

Born in South Africa, Shannon had an idyllic childhood including time at a catholic boarding school. Sensing the world was bigger than what she saw of it in her home country, she moved to London and enjoyed all the big city can offer.

Along the way she became acquainted with yoga and meditation, but it wasn't until she went on a month long Buddhist meditation retreat that her life turned a corner and she set out in a different direction. Eventually she ended up working in France at a meditation retreat centre based in a chateau, where she met current partner, Vajrayana lama Brian.

Ready to move back into the "world" Shannon and Brian moved to Brussels. They now run www.crystalsingingbowlseurope.com in Brussels, where they hold yoga, meditation and sound bath classes and where you can receive advice on the bowls and perhaps purchase one of your own. Shannon will train you in how to use it!
