Meet Shona Ganguly, by Michelle Chua
2/23/2021
Among my sources for inspiration to grow and learn as a yoga teacher is the community I serve. Unique individuals are drawn to our yoga community for different reasons, whether to condition their body, manage stress or dive deeper into the 8 Limbs of Yoga as a path to Self-realization, or union with Higher Consciousness. And like my personal yoga journey, their reason to stay and continue to consistently show up as a community may evolve as their own yoga practice matures. Shona Ganguly has been attending our yoga classes for over 8 years. Shona is a dancer by hobby, natural environment protector by profession and now an expectant first-time mother. She began her yoga practice to find balance in her busy world. And while this benefit still brings her to the practice weekly, she explains yoga’s wisdom teachings, echoed in her Hindu upbringing and Indian heritage, that instill a deeper sense of balance throughout the many aspects of her life off the yoga mat. Enjoy this 25-minute interview with Shona, and perhaps her story or “why” may resonate with you.

REviews of Root 2 Rise Yoga with Michelle chua:Michelle truly lives out what she teaches. She is so much more than a yoga teacher - I learned this when I went on her exquisitely curated trip that she organized to Costa Rica this past June 2018...Hopefully like me, you'll be delighted by her effervescent love of movement, nature, and all people! Michelle clearly stands out with her beautiful and bright energy. I love how her practice and teaching encompass body, mind and spirit. She not only teaches yoga but lives and exudes it. Michelle not only teaches 'yoga', she embodies it fully with her heart and soul... Michelle is by far one of the best instructors I've ever had, period. Patient, clear in her explanations and demos, and so encouraging... My first yoga class was with Michelle years ago. You can have the best (yoga pose) sequence and not teach from your heart. With Michelle, I also feel her passion when I'm in her class. I can see she loves what she does, and she inspired me to want to teach yoga, too. |

I'm so grateful to have met Michelle! Her kind energy opened up my interest in pursuing yoga and meditation. She is such an incredibly light and soul. She starts with grounding ourselves through mindfulness and breathing exercise. She brings the most authentic energy to the class by sharing the history and understanding behind poses, names, and techniques. I truly appreciate her work and impact on my well-being! I’ve had dozens of instructors over the years, but Michelle is far and away the best yoga mentor I’ve ever practiced with. She epitomizes grace during these difficult times. Michelle has saved my sanity and my back while working from home, keeping me grounded with her sharing of yogic teachings and meditation techniques. Her repertoire of physical asanas is encyclopedic, and I’ve loved learning new poses and stretching my boundaries. Jump in, all. You’ve got this! |
