Your journey with SMYL—Skillful Mindful Yoga Life—offers not just a framework for yoga but a guide to living with intention, presence, and connection.

Welcome, Beloved Soul.

I’m Shana Marie, founder of Shana Marie Yoga, and the SMYL: Skillful Mindful Yoga Life System I’m so grateful that you’ve found your way here.

If you’ve been feeling disconnected from yourself or overwhelmed by the noise of the world, this space is for you. If you’ve struggled to find inner peace or simply crave a deeper connection with your body and your breath, I want you to know: You are not alone, and you are exactly where you need to be.

Yoga is not just a practice of physical movement—it is a profound journey of self-discovery. It’s about returning to your natural state of balance, compassion, and clarity. It’s about becoming fully present, finding stillness in the chaos, and learning to live from a place of deep connection with yourself and the world around you.

I’ve created a FREE MASTERCLASS to help you begin this journey—by introducing you to the Five Essential Elements of Yoga and Mindfulness. These elements will guide you as you learn to embody the practice not just on the mat, but in every moment of your life.

Have You Asked Yourself These Questions?

  • “Why do I feel disconnected or restless, like I’m constantly searching for something?”
  • “How do I quiet my mind when it feels like it’s racing with thoughts?”
  • “How can I practice mindfulness when my life feels overwhelming or busy?”
  • “Is it possible to live a life that feels whole, balanced, and centered, or is that just a dream?”

If you’ve asked yourself these questions, I understand. Finding balance in the midst of a busy, often unpredictable life is not always easy. But what I want you to know is this: You already have everything you need within you to live a life filled with peace, clarity, and connection.

Whether you're new to yoga or have been practicing for years, the true essence of the practice is found in learning to live mindfully in each moment. It’s not about striving to be someone else, or chasing the idea of perfection. It’s about embracing who you are, as you are, and returning to the present moment with intention, compassion, and grace.


The SMYL: Skillful Mindful Yoga Life System: Reconnect with the Present Moment

In today’s world, we are often pulled in many directions—work, family, responsibilities, expectations. We may feel like we’re constantly moving, but never really living. Yoga and mindfulness offer a way out of this cycle. They invite us to come back to the present, to reconnect with the simplicity of breath, body, and heart.

The SMYL: Skillful Mindful Yoga Life System is built on the foundation of mindfulness, presence, and self-compassion. Through the practice of yoga, we learn to pause, to breathe, and to listen deeply to our bodies. And in doing so, we open up space for clarity, calm, and connection.

In my FREE Masterclass, you will be introduced to the Five Key Elements of a mindful life: Breath, Presence, Awareness, Compassion, and Stillness. These principles are not just for the yoga mat—they are meant to be lived, day by day, in every interaction, every moment, and every choice you make.

When you start to practice these elements, you’ll feel more grounded, more aligned, and more connected to the present moment. You’ll begin to experience the beauty of being fully here, right now—without judgment, without the need to “fix” anything, just as you are.


Flow: Moving with Presence and Ease

At its heart, yoga is a practice of flow. This is the art of moving with awareness, with purpose, and with breath. It’s about connecting to the rhythm of your body, allowing each movement to be an expression of your inner state, not something you “force” or “perfect.”

We can often get caught in the trap of thinking that yoga is about achieving a pose, or that mindfulness means being in a state of constant stillness. But the truth is, the flow of yoga is about finding ease in the movement, and the stillness is found in the spaces between.

Through the SMYL: Skillful Mindful Yoga Life System, you will learn to release the tension of “doing” and simply be with what is. Yoga teaches us that every moment is an invitation to be more mindful. We don’t need to perfect our practice to experience its benefits; we just need to be present with ourselves, and to move with awareness, acceptance, and compassion.


Create Balance and Harmony in Your Life

Yoga and mindfulness invite us to slow down, to breathe, and to reconnect with our true selves. But they also help us create a deeper sense of balance in our lives. When we learn to find balance on the mat, we begin to carry that balance into our everyday lives. We learn to respond rather than react, to breathe through challenges, and to approach life with more patience, clarity, and grace.

This practice is about learning to listen deeply—to your body, to your emotions, and to the world around you. It’s not about escaping life’s challenges; it’s about learning how to move through them with a sense of calm, groundedness, and purpose.

The SMYL : Skillful Mindful Yoga Life System teaches you that balance is not something you have to chase or strive for. It is something you can cultivate within yourself, moment by moment, through conscious breath, mindful movement, and self-compassion.


Embrace the Journey: Let Go of Perfection

So often, we hold ourselves to unrealistic standards. We think that we must be “perfect” before we can find peace or joy. But the essence of yoga is not in achieving perfection—it is in embracing imperfection with love and acceptance.

The beauty of yoga is that it meets us where we are, without judgment or expectation. Each time you step onto your mat, you are invited to let go of the need to perform or strive. Instead, you are invited to simply be—to be fully present with yourself, in this moment, as you are.

In my teaching, I emphasize that yoga is not about the destination. It is the journey, and that journey is one of continual discovery. With each breath, each stretch, and each moment of mindfulness, you are returning to yourself. And that, in itself, is the ultimate practice.


Step Into Your True Potential

You are already whole, exactly as you are. The practice of yoga is simply a way to remember that, to reconnect with your essence, and to embrace the stillness that resides within you.

If you are ready to move beyond stress, anxiety, and the constant rush of life, then the SMYL: Skillful Mindful Yoga Life  System is for you. I’m here to guide you on this transformative journey of mindfulness, self-compassion, and inner peace.

Join me in my FREE Masterclass, and let’s take the first step toward a more grounded, balanced, and connected life.
