Shannon became acquainted with Pilates in early 2018 at local Pilate’s studio that offered a diverse range of Pilates methods and instructor styles. It was during this time that she began exclusively gravitating to the classes held by the talented and passionate instructor, Emily Wills, and the classical Pilates method. Shannon became enamored and fervent about Pilates, practicing upwards of 7x a week- craving the challenge and experiencing remarkable results in her body from her consistent practice. Though at the time engaged in other forms of exercise, Pilates stood out, offering her the complete workout she had been looking for- the blue plate special!
A year into Shannon’s Pilates practice, she transitioned from group classes to private practice, where she began to understand on a much deeper level the true benefits of Pilates when the exercises are learned correctly, modified as needed, and the workouts are tailored for a person’s unique needs. Engaged in privates solely with Emily, eventually brought her to Emily’s studio, Century Pilates, where in the fall of 2021, Shannon was given a wonderful opportunity to learn from her amazing talented mentor and jumped at the invitation to enroll in Century Pilates Instructor Training.
To better serve her clients, in 2023 Shannon took the leap to becoming a level 2 Eldoa certified practitioner, under the mentorship of Legacy Sports & Wellness owner & globally recognized, Scott Herrera in the techniques and teachings of Guy Voyer’s, ELDOA. Eldoa is highly specialized & specific myofascial postures used to target & decompress the space between vertebras, otherwise known as spinal decompression.
Shannon is currently a Staff instructor at Century Pilates as well as a faculty Teacher Trainer for the globally accredited Century Pilates instructor training program. Shannon is passionate about Pilates and loves to share its benefits and encourage those that have never tried Pilates to experience the difference.
Born and raised from DFW area, Shannon is a wife and mother to a beautiful daughter- and two spoiled fur babies. Outside of her passion for Pilates, she holds a demanding, professional career as a Controller and has a love for the outdoors and baking. Shannon aspires to continue Pilates as a life-long practice and in the years to come, hone her skills as an instructor, making long-term plans to be a full-time instructor as a retirement career.
