Shannon Demko

A native Jersey girl, Shannon first came to Atlanta in 2004. She found yoga by accident when she was in grad school, and hasn’t looked back since. She’s a 500RYT Yoga Alliance certified instructor as well as a mindfulness and guided meditation leader through her coaching business, MindfulMBA. Additionally, Shannon is a senior program director for a DC-based nonprofit and runs a program that supports diversity in higher education and business leadership. She’s been to nearly 50 countries, most of them with her yoga mat. Most recently, she’s loved joining DDY travel retreats and sharing the gifts of yoga and travel with her young daughter.. Catch her quoting Shakespeare and Jay-Z in the same breath while sneaking extra core work into most of her classes.

Favorite Yoga Pose: Triangle, because it feels good and it does all the things at once! Twist me, stretch me, open my heart and ground my energy all at once - yes, please.

Fun Fact: I was born left-handed but my kindergarten teacher in Catholic school made me start using my right hand instead!
