I'm Shane, I'm in my thirties and have lived in the PNW my whole life. I was introduced to yoga in college and enjoyed it, but didn't start practicing until about 10 years later. At first I just wanted to improve my flexibility, but I loved the feeling of accomplishment that came from finishing a 90 minute hot class and the way it energized my body.  As I started attending classes more consistently I realized there was a lot more to the 26&2 than I originally thought, and when the opportunity to go to teacher training appeared I knew immediately I wanted to go and learn more. I'm fortunate to have time and space in my life to dedicate to yoga, and I'm extremely grateful to Rachel and the HYV team for all of their support and encouragement leading up to teacher training. The community at the studio is incredibly friendly and welcoming - it's been a joy to be a student here and I'm very much grateful for the privilege of getting to teach.
