Aloha friends! It has been over seven years now since I took my first real yoga class. All I can really remember now is how much I loved savasanna (the pose we end class with where you lay on your back and rest). So seven years later, countless classes and savasanna's later has brought me back to Body Language after teaching and learning in Hawaii and most recently Portland, Oregon. What can I say about yoga, besides do YOGA?! I could go on and on, as I am so passionate about this ancient system of healing, the benefits I have received and continue to recieve, and as a witness to so many countless benefits of the many beautiful yoga students and teachers I have seen blossom and grow through this practice. My journey of yoga calls me to teach what I have been taught and continue this tradition of teacher to student that has carried this system of yoga for thousands of years. I look forward to breathing and moving with you in the yoga room! Namaste.

Hi! I’m Shawn Jones. I have been practicing yoga regularly since 2006 and have been a member of Body Language since 2007. I went through Andrea’s Teacher Training program in 2010. The experience deepened my practice and made me even more passionate about yoga! I love teaching and sharing everything this practice has to offer. I’m so happy to have found this wonderful community. In my spare time, I enjoy working out, reading and spending time with my husband and 2 daughters. I look forward to meeting you and having you in one of my classes!

Hello! Many of you know me as "the owner's daughter" :). My mother (Andrea) started working for Body Language when I was 2 years old, and bought the business when I was 7...so I have literally grown up at here! You'll see me teaching a variety of classes on the yoga side, and at the front desk. I'm so incredibly blessed to have such an amazing BL family, and am happy you are part of it!

I am so grateful for finding yoga and it's an honor to share it with others. I often refer to myself as a yoga addict and an inversion junkie, I just love yoga and standing on my hands! I also love spending time with my friends and family, walking my dogs, traveling to new places, playing on the lake, and trying new things. My favorite foods are fruits especially, watermelon and honeydew! I also have a big sweet tooth, mmm chocolate! My guilty pleasure is taking naps. When I am not doing any of those things I am usually expanding my creative abilities as a web and graphic designer from home.
