SHANNON GRAUZER
Shannon was born and raised in the Northmont area and lives here in Englewood. She had been a server/bartender in the community for over 17 years and knew it was time for a change. Her long-time interest and strong beliefs in the benefits of exercise, health, and wellness brought her to pursue a career in massage therapy and become a licensed massage therapist (LMT). Shannon is a 2009 graduate of Dayton School of Medical Massage, an accredited school for Medical Massage in the State of Ohio. Shannon has been self-employed since 2011 in her massage business, Regain Solace Therapeutic Massage, and currently works out of her home in Englewood. Once the journey to study the human body began, it has not stopped. She continued her education with Sinclair Community College and acquired an Associates Degree in Exercise Science in 2015. In 2018 she completed her 200hr and in 2025 completed her 300hr yoga teacher training with Devon Schmidt at Day Yoga Studio in Dayton, OH. Shannon has been teaching studio yoga classes since November 2017. She has a passion for helping people find their peace and ease in daily life. Shannon is a member of the American Massage Council and a Registered Yoga Teacher (eRYT-500 & YACEP) with Yoga Alliance.

Q-What Inspired you to be a yoga teacher?
A-I've been a bodyworker for over 15 years and continuing my education as a yoga teacher seemed like a natural fit. I encourage my massage clients to engage in yoga Asana (postures) and pranayama (breathwork) as it helps to improve their overall health. Practicing yoga reduces muscle tension and stress in the body so it makes my job as a massage therapist easier!
Q-Where and with whom did you train?
A-I trained in 2016-2017 at Day Yoga Studio with Devon Schmidt. Devon's program brings in multiple teachers from different styles of yoga. I'm so grateful that this is a really comprehensive training that teaches philosophy and different physical aspects of yoga.
Q-How do you continue to deepen your own practice?
A-I continue to deepen my own practice by studying the ancient yogic texts and attending workshops to continue to grow my understanding of yoga.
Q-How do you integrate mindfulness and spirituality into your teaching?
A-I integrate mindfulness and spirituality into my teaching by offering mudras (hand gestures), setting intentions, using Sanskrit ( the language of yoga) as much as possible, and offering space to my students to explore and check in.
