HI AMY, I HAVE A 200 HR CERTIFICATE FROM ABSOLUTE YOGA ACADEMY FOR HOT YOGA... I AM IN THE PROCESS OF GETTING MY 500 HOUR CERTIFICATE FROM YOGABODY TEACHER COLLEGE. I AM GOING TO SAN FRANCISCO THIS WEEKEND FOR A BUTI YOGA CERTIFICATE (IT'S JUST A WEEKEND COURSE) I ALSO HAVE A 50 HOUR YOGA TRAPEZE CERTIFICATE. MY MENTOR AND INSPIRATION IS JULIE SCEENY. SHE IS MY TRAINER, MY HERO, MY MENTOR, MY FRIEND, AND A COMPLETE BAD ASS!!! I HAVE NEVER MET ANYONE THAT KNOWS MORE THAN HER OR UNDERSTANDS THE BODY BETTER THAN SHE DOES. MY STYLE DEPENDS ON THE CLASS... SOMETIMES IT'S MELLOW AND SLOW, SOMETIMES IT'S INTENSE. I AM BEST WITH BEGINNERS AND INTERMEDIATE, I AM NOT VERY GOOD AT TEACHING (OR DOING) INVERSIONS. HEADSTAND, YES, I CAN TEACH AND DO., BUT HANDSTAND I CAN NOT TEACH IT AND I CAN ONLY DO IF I HAVE A CHEAT WALL. I TEACH PRIVATES AND AT MY RETREATS, ONCE IN A WHILE, I WILL DO AN EVENT IN THE PARK IN LA. I TRAVEL SO MUCH IT IS HARD FOR ME TO COMMIT TO A STUDIO, BUT I AM HOPING AFTER NOVEMBER I WILL SLOW DOWN ENOUGH TO AT LEAST BE A SUBSTITUTE AT SOME LOCAL STUDIOS. MOST OF THE TIME THE STUDIOS WANT A BIGGER COMMITMENT THAN I CAN GIVE. YOU CAN CHECK OUT MY WEBSITE AT TRAVELGIRLYOGA.COM IF YOU HAVE ANY MORE QUESTIONS PLEASE FEEL FREE TO ASK, I'M HERE TO HELP. HOPE TO SEE YOU SOON. :) NAMASTE SHANNON
