Yoga Therapy with Shanna Hughes
Private 1:1 Sessions via zoom OR in Shanna’s yoga studio in Damascus, Oregon
In my practice, I prioritize treating each person holistically, addressing physical, mental, and emotional well-being. I utilize a blend of yoga techniques, mindfulness practices, breath-work, and meditation to empower clients to tap into their inner strength and resilience.
I'm certified by the International Association of Yoga Therapists (IAYT) and offer personalized sessions tailored to individual needs, drawing on my expertise and dedication. I'm a member of the USC Yoga and the Healing Sciences teacher training faculty and teach chair yoga and gentle yoga. And, I integrate iRest, a form of Yoga Nidra (yogic sleep, to promote deep relaxation and release tension.
During our sessions, I assess your individual needs, taking into account your medical history and conditions. I may also use talk therapy to support your mental and physical wellness. I've helped clients with various physical ailments and limitations, including post-surgery recovery and age-related mobility issues, with many experiencing significant improvements.
My goal is to make yoga accessible to everyone, regardless of ability or requirement. I draw inspiration from my 15-year study in Kashmir, India, under Swami Lakshmanjoo, exploring Kashmir Shaivism's profound teachings on consciousness and self-discovery.

“I just wanted to tell you again how grateful I am that you started me down this new path to mind-body health and wellness. I am now 4 full months medication free with my arthritis and emphysema very well controlled. I use the yoga breathing techniques daily and now meditate without fail each evening or more. I have expanded my practice with course work and classes. Sofia (my daughter) and I do a walking meditation when she is upset or disorganized and the alternate nostril breathing really works for her anxiety. I feel like both you and Dr. Rick have changed the trajectory of my future and I will forever be grateful.”
