Shannon Caldwell, with more than 12 years experience in yoga as a student, teacher and businesswoman, holds the advanced designation of a 500-hour Experienced Yoga Teacher. In 2001, she opened the first yoga studio in the north Texas region and in 2003 began Purple Lotus to help aspiring yogis deepen their knowledge and build their confidence as teachers. Many of the participants of Purple Lotus have gone on to open their own studios and other health & wellness companies, both locally and out-of-state.
For more than a decade, she has taught group classes and special workshops at various studios and corporate facilities such as American Heart Association, Lifetime Fitness and Frito Lay. As all avid students of yoga, she has studied and practiced with great yogis such as Bryan Kest, Baron Baptiste, Doug Swenson and Shiva Rea. Already a proponent of assisted yoga, her passion deepened when she studied Thai Yoga with Jonas Westring at Kripalu.
Shannon is humbled and honored to have educated and guided so many students and teachers on their personal yoga journeys.
