Shawn Green is a California based Ashtanga teacher and the owner of Om Shala Yoga studio.  He is a long time student and assistant to senior teacher David Garrigues and is honored to have worked with hundreds of students across four continents.  Shawn’s goal is to promote radically inclusive Ashtanga, raise the standards of the student and promote safe and sustainable yoga practice.  Shawn believes that the discipline and philosophy are one and the same and how a person approaches the simplest actions on the mat can echo out into ones greatest wishes and highest aspirations for their life.  His teachings are playfully earnest and he encourages students to explore yoga technology with a respect for the living tradition.
