Shawn is a graduate of the 2017 Aligned Flow 200hr Yoga Teacher Training created and run by Christy Linson. She’s been involved in instructing fitness for over 2 decades. From dance and gymnastics to kickboxing and CrossFit, Shawn’s love of movement led her to begin a yoga practice in 2007. With each passing year yoga became a part of her everyday life. Through her teacher training she began to follow the 8 limbs of yoga. Guiding others to realize their inner strength and potential is a part of Shawn’s life’s work. She hopes to see you in class!

Christy Naida Linson is an E-RYT 500 and a licensed massage therapist (LMT). She began practicing yoga in 1999 while attending massage school in Maui, HI. Her love for yoga and beautiful places led her to study contemplative and somatic (mind-body) psychology and yoga at Naropa University in Boulder, CO. She completed both her 200 hour (2007) and 300 hour (2009) yoga teacher trainings with YogaWorks in NYC as well as 100 hours with Maty Ezraty. She continues to study with a combination of teachers who straighten her out but also remind her to set herself free. This is where the heart of Aligned Flow® lies.

She is blessed to be the owner of Prana Yoga Center, direct the Aligned Flow® 200 and 300 Hour Teacher Training Programs, lead retreats in beautiful places such as Costa Rica and Maui, and to offer deep tissue mobility treatments, therapeutic and Thai massage to athletes (including having worked with the NY Jets for 7 years). She is a SUP (Stand Up Paddle) Yoga and Paddle Instructor and the owner of the Aligned Flow® Floating Studio.

Tara has studied with Jillian Pransky, Jennifer Reis, Ellen Pfeffer, Tari Prinster, Mark Whitwell, Johnathon Foust, Richard Faulds, Seane Corn, Sharon Salzberg, Kelly McGonigal, Dharma Mittra, and Shiva Rea. She has also taken trainings in Reiki, Reflexology, Medical Qigong Therapy, and Raindrop Therapy. She has recently been accepted into the Kula for Karma program.

Tara thinks of her practice “as a prayer of thanks and a way of deepening my connection with God and my true self. I feel blessed and honored to have the opportunity to share the wonderful gifts with others that I have received from my many teachers”. Some of Tara’s other passions include wildlife rehabilitation, stained glass, gardening, cooking, being of service to others, and nature.
