About Me

A Way Of Life

 I knew yoga was something that I wanted to live, practice and understand on a deeper level. And so the lifetime journey began! Balance Yoga and Wellness invites you to explore the rich and multi-faceted world of yoga while experiencing the healing aspects of our beautiful seaside island of Ambergris Caye! 

Shannon Reeder, RYT 500 hours

I began practicing yoga in 2006, and it has been an essential part of my life ever since. I felt an instant connection to the peacefulness that came along with my first class, and I soon found that a regular practice made a difference off the mat as well, influencing the way I perceived and interacted with the world. I knew yoga was something that I wanted to live, practice and understand on a deeper level. And so the lifetime journey began!

I am a 500-hour certified Prana Vinyasa yoga teacher, RYT 500, having had the honor of studying directly with Prana Vinyasa creator and curator, Shiva Rea, as well as affiliates from her Global School of Living Yoga. I have taken additional trainings in Kids Yoga, Supported Yoga, Yoga for Seniors and Yoga for 12 Step Recovery. I am proud to be a part of Rhythms of Change, a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting and implementing activities that bring forth individual, social and environmental changes throughout Belize. I also serve as an ambassador for the organization, teaching a weekly free community yoga class, open to all.

I live and teach in San Pedro, Belize on the island of Ambergris Caye. My classes offer a welcoming environment, with modifications for all levels so each student, from beginner to advanced yogi, can find their perfect place to connect to their natural, evolutionary flow.
