Shannon Maguire is a 200-hour Registered Yoga Teacher, certified Level II Reiki Practitioner, and the founder of Eternal Now Yoga. Her journey to yoga, like so many others, began as an act of survival. Her interest in spirituality was just beginning to bud when her brother, her only sibling, was killed by a drunk driver. In a single night, her world shattered.

Grief had cracked her heart open and left her desperate for answers. She became drawn not only to the mystery of death and its countless lessons, but also to the question of how to live a meaningful and peaceful life amid the suffering and chaos of the world. She immersed herself in the wisdom of Buddhist and Christian traditions, and studied the teachings of Ram Dass, Rumi, Thích Nhất Hạnh, Patanjali, and many others.

Shannon found healing and purpose on her mat and in the sacred presence of Florida’s wild places. Through her own breath, she began to find herself. Longing to forgive the past and calm fears of an uncertain future, she slowly began to surrender to the healing power of the present moment.

Her journey of survival became a path to service. She believes every human heart deserves space to heal and feels called to share the practices that continue to mend her own. She considers herself a lifelong student, guided by yoga, breathwork, and Reiki in her own ongoing practices of healing and presence.

Through breath to Quiet the mind, a commitment to Open the Heart to healing, and reverence for Spirit revealed through nature, Shannon guides her students to attune to and deeply Feel the Now. This philosophy is the heart of Eternal Now Yoga. 

“Since her first grief had brought her fully to birth and wakefulness in this world, an unstinting compassion had moved in her, like a live stream flowing deep underground, by which she knew herself and others and the world.” - Wendell Berry
