Shawn Rakowski
Yoga Instructor, Client Relations
I love to be outside, hiking, biking, walking my dogs, hanging at the beach, gardening, or reading a book on my deck. I grew up and started my family in New Jersey then about 15 years ago my husband, 2 kids and I moved to Virginia Beach. I am a Jersey girl at heart and go back frequently to visit family and friends.

Fusion and yin. You can also find me at the front desk!

Connection, freedom of movement, finding yourself in the present moment.
