🙏 Indie Yoga Teacher Spotlight 🙏

✨ SHANNON CURY ✨

🙏 Where are you from?
ocean city nj! no wonder the small beach town energy of ob feels like home.

🙏 Where and when did your yoga journey begin?
my first experience was a power flow class at 22. in my 20’s i was drawn to fast flows in dark rooms to quiet my busy brain. the more I’ve dropped into my breath & body to slow down, the more my practice has too.

🙏 How long have you been teaching?
a year and a half of yoga + I’ve been guiding deep self healing breathwork for 5 years now. i feel grateful to have a solid foundation in pranayama on & off the mat.

🙏 What does yoga mean to you?
yoga is connection — with myself through mind, body and spirit, with the land and with the collective. yoga is a practice in taking care of each other, just as much as taking care of ourselves.

🙏 What three words capture your teaching style?
authentic, grounded, balanced.

🙏 What is your favorite thing about Indie Yoga?
the students! i love getting to hold space for all of you.

🙏 What’s one yoga insight or reminder you’d like to share?
you’ll probably hear me teach to the power of embracing abhinivesha — the fear of death and change. as a cancer survivor, i was confronted with it first hand through my diagnosis. surrendering to impermanence — big & small — leaves so much more space for ease in our lives.

🙏 Which song never fails to move you and your students?
“the rising” by essie jain is a yin staple and I love “soothe” by random rab for a slow flow.

🙏 Where can students find more of your class music?
@shancury on Spotify!

Take Yin Yoga with @shancury of @collectively__well Thursdays at 8:15 p.m.

spending one hour a day on social media equates to more than one year of your life spent scrolling. and i just learned that 50% of content on the internet is now AI-generated, with the number expected to go up to 90% by 2027.

i wrote this list at the beginning of 2025 and have been taking periodic monthly digital detoxes ever since. the time off would bring me back to myself and then i would get back on and restart the cycle of disconnection and dysregulation. that model works for a lot of people, it just didn't for me.

is social media the root cause of my struggle? of course not. but it's the most consistent barrier to presence, depth, processing and living intentionally - the most powerful supports i know of within myself and my relationships.

life is so fcking magical when we're actually living it with each other. consider this your reminder that you can always re-orient your relationship to the people, places and things that disconnect you from living as your fullest self.

if you are curious about getting off social media, check the link in bio for the digital detoxes. they're a great reset or an ease out of this mess.

a re-introduction & a departure 👋🏽

i used to feel so connected and nourished on instagram but these days it leaves me feeling drained and dysregulated more often than not

let this be your reminder that you have the power to live life how you please - whether that's getting TF off this app, breaking up with urgency culture or identities that no longer fit, following the passion that makes you feel alive or honoring the intuitive nudge that's stayed consistent since 2021

you can find me out in the woods with the trees, putting my hands in the sand, jumping in the pacific, in your inbox through the newsletter or your ears through the podcast

as of now, im planning on keeping the link in bio up to date for events & offerings too

see you off the grid ❤️‍🔥👋🏽🌈

this work can been so unbelievably life changing. of course i've experienced it first hand but i've also witnessed profound shifts - large & small - in the people who continue to show up for it too.

living from an embodied place is simple but it sure isn't easy in the world we live in. but it's a powerful path to aliveness, healing, & growth. and i believe it's how we show up for each other, build dynamic relationships and build a world that we don't need to numb out from.

the link in bio should have everything you need to book a session or learn more. signing up for the newsletter is always the best bet in the event i stop updating it once i'm off social media.

applying for a container isn't to make it exclusive, either. it's to ensure i feel confident in being able to show up for you in the ways you need. if i'm not, i always refer you to someone else.

halloween at google in new york was a big deal, people went all out.

i personally had zero access to my creative energy to plan a costume nor did i even consider what day it was between snoozing my alarm and rushing out the door.

one year on 10/31 i happened to wear a turtle neck to work and someone asked if i was dressed as steve jobs.

anyways, he absolutely is not the inspiration for this photo.

i do this work for that version of me who needed to take 15-20 deep breaths and learn how to chill
TF out somewhere other than happy hour.

i know this isn't linkedin but i'd love to support your team with a workshop, series, coaching or keynote. plenty more stories where that one came from.

as always, link in bio to learn more.

what they said.

but actually, it's an honor and a privilege to do this work. i have so much love all of the people i get the gift of supporting, in a totally boundaried and ethical way. witnessing their transformations and holding space for them to breathe life into their power is mutual medicine.

and also, everyone experiences it differently. to some, it's more impactful than therapy. to others, it's a deep restorative nap. only one way to find out how it feels for you.

thank you for trusting me. thank you for showing up for yourself. thank you for showing up for the collective through your healing.

if you feel nourished and recharged after spending time on social media, i love that for you.

and if you don't, that makes sense too. you are not alone. it's engineered to drain us.

and it's so easy to feel like "everyone is on social media" and believe the stories that we "need" to be on here.

sure, some people might. but most of us don't.

taking intentional time away from the addictive patterns and doomscrolling is a game changer for your wellbeing. this program brings you back into your body and realigns you with your values.

your life is yours, live it how you please.
link in bio. see you on the other side.

moved to san diego four years ago today. phew, what a ride.

when i got here, i remember feeling like i was going to college all over again. except this time, i knew who i was and what i wanted to learn.

if the last four years have taught me anything, it's that life is one big spiral and compassion is key.

my first few years out here, i built my life around healing. big love and light energy. i socialized in wellness spaces instead of bars and genuinely felt like i was mastering "the work." along the way, found a lot of my people too.

and then over the last two years, i've let that life hold me as spirit's reminded me that wherever you go, there you are. big dark and messy energy. i let those people get to know the parts of me i thought i left back on the east coast.

it's not a coincidence the timing of this shift lines up with this administration. ironically enough, roe v. wade was overturned the day i moved too. the personal and the collective are one in the same.

it's funny, i used to believe that transformation required becoming someone unrecognizable. a before and after story. a "shannon 2.0".

it turns out san diego shan is new york shan is ocean city shan is philly shan.

these days, transformation feels like laughing with my shadow, meeting them with more compassion and getting off the healing hamster wheel enough to let myself just be.

cheers to four years in one of the many places that i'm lucky enough to call home with some of my favorite stretches of land, humans and versions of myself i get to experience it with.

Last week’s SCOTUS decision has been weighing heavy. I found myself going on walks to try to shake the gravity of choices I didn’t make from leaders I didn’t elect. Walking can be one of my favorite ways to regulate my nervous system, but it’s not always enough.

Then I got a text from a friend asking if I wanted to join them for a May Day march. Another chance to walk it off in community with people that feel this weight too.

It’s a reminder that we’re not alone in the heaviness of this moment in history. By rising up together, the weight gets lighter.

April was… a lot 🥲

in business (as you’ve seen) and in life (as you’ve not seen).

less than three weeks ago I was in my first car accident on the 5 north.

everything happened so fast, and I am so, so SO so grateful to still be here writing this today— as the EMT, nurses, and doctors told me, it is nothing short of a miracle that I still am.

it left me raw, devastated, terrified, traumatized, and so incredibly aware of just how fragile and mortal I am— how much we all are.

*and* just how much I need my people 🤲🏾✨

so I continued, probably a little mix of my history of picking up and moving forward despite trauma in there, but also because I needed you guys just as much as you need me.

I walked into Empower less than a week after that accident and without telling them what happened allowed myself to be held by the powerful, creative women in the room.

I walked into last Sunday’s market less than two weeks after that accident and allowed myself to be held again by the incredible businesses I’m fortunate to work with and receive care from.

this community is far more than work for me and I’m grateful more now than ever for you all.

the ways in which you’ve come around me whether you’ve known what happened or not is so spiritual— the rides, the meals, the hugs, the encouragement, the listening ears, the gifts, the gifted sessions, the tools, the childcare, the purpose. it has all meant so much to me ✨

I am moving slower, processing, healing, sobbing, and still showing up in the ways that I can for us all.

thank you so much for your grace, your loving words, and all your support.

with so much love,
