Yoga Therapy in Santa Barbara & Montecito
Personalized Yoga for Strength, Stress Relief & Mobility
As a certified 300-hour Registered Yoga Teacher with over 10 years of teaching experience, I offer adaptive yoga sessions that are inclusive, accessible, and rooted in evidence-based movement. Whether you're recovering from injury, living with chronic pain, or simply looking to build strength and flexibility, I design sessions tailored to your unique needs.

Aquatic Therapy & Wellness
Gentle, Low-Impact Rehab in the Comfort of Your Own Pool
Aquatic therapy is one of the most underutilized yet effective rehabilitation tools. Water reduces joint stress and creates a safe space for healing — especially for those recovering from surgery or managing conditions like arthritis, chronic pain, or neurological disorders. I also offer water-based wellness and cardio classes that are fun, uplifting, and a powerful way to build strength and endurance without the impact of land-based exercise.
Strength Training & Wellness Coaching
Build Muscle. Improve Metabolic Health. Prevent Injury.
I specialize in designing gentle but effective strength training programs for people of all ages — including those with chronic conditions, injuries, or pain.
For individuals with Type 2 Diabetes: Research shows that increasing muscle mass through strength training can improve insulin sensitivity and potentially reverse disease progression.
For peri- and post-menopausal women: Resistance training is essential to preserve muscle mass, boost metabolism, and prevent falls. I’m passionate about making strength training less intimidating and more accessible.
All sessions are 1:1 and tailored to your goals, whether you're a beginner or getting back into a routine.
All services are available in Santa Barbara, Montecito, or virtually.

Testimonials:
“Shannon is incredibly holistic in her approach, taking into account the entirety of the individual. She skillfully addressed my concerns regarding movement and potential re-injury with a deep sense of understanding and care. Not only did she equip me with strategies to alleviate my persistent shoulder pain, but she also empowered me with daily techniques to effectively manage my anxiety. I wholeheartedly endorse her as a Physical Therapist without hesitation.”
- Cara G
Although physical therapy for my ‘frozen shoulder’ was uncomfortable, I always looked forward to working with Shannon. Her empathy and encouragement made a significant difference. She guided me through the challenging moments, introducing varied stretching and exercise techniques to keep me motivated and on track. I wholeheartedly endorse her as a Physical Therapist.”
- Gina Sunseri
"After 30 years of knee pain, I felt hopeless until I started working with Shannon. She pinpointed that my pain was caused by muscle imbalances, improper shoe wear, and underlying fear. Within just a week, I noticed a dramatic improvement. Shannon helped me regain control of my life without letting pain hold me back. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking relief and a better quality of life."
- Chris Patterson
“I have endured chronic low back pain for over 30 years. During a particularly challenging flare-up, Dr. Shannon's expertise was invaluable. Her unique combination of sensitivity, attentiveness to my mindset, and exceptional skill as a physical therapist provided relief beyond my expectations. Dr. Shannon's forward-thinking approach truly sets her apart, and I highly recommend her services.”
-Sherry Rank
“I have had the privilege of taking private, online yoga sculpt sessions with Shannon and can't recommend her highly enough. Before each session, Shannon asks pointed questions about muscle groups I want to target and addresses any issues I am experiencing that could impact the class. The result was a highly tailored and effective yoga experience - she really is the best!
-Carolyn Healey
“Shannon is the most wonderful wellness and yoga coach! She provides customized online sessions to meet my individual needs, bringing in her wealth of knowledge, helpful demonstrations, positivity, and encouragement. Shannon’s flexibility and problem-solving skills are outstanding; she modifies our session on the spot to address how I’m feeling that day. I enjoy our sessions, so pleasant and instructive. My health and wellness are improved in so many ways thanks to Shannon! Mobility is back that I thought I had lost, and I’m building strength, flexibility, balance, and so much more.”
