Who is Shannon Mae?
Hey girl! I am Shannon Mae. I am a mom, a daughter of a single father, a friend, a servant leader, and a fiery Aries native to Pittsburgh, PA. Certified in AntiRacist Raja Yoga under the guidance of my childhood community leader, I bring compassion to my work and the need for spaces to confront the lived experiences of Black folx.
And hey, if you’re feeling hesitant about joining, let me reassure you: “Sis, you don’t need to be flexible or have fancy yoga gear. Rock your sweats, leggings, or even pajamas—your presence is what matters most in this space. Can’t wait to connect with you!”
"Mindfulness has empowered me to deepen self-awareness, embrace acceptance, and find peace amidst life's chaos. Come join our class and discover your chaos response alongside fellow Self MAED womxn in community."
