Shannon McCasland, E-RYT 500, was once a Radiance Yoga student herself. Now, she's the owner of the Rad studio in Pittsfield, MA, and the lead trainer of Radiance Yoga Teacher Training.
Shannon has 15+ years of experience in exercise science, yoga, and wellness, with a B.S. in clinical exercise physiology and a Master's degree in health promotion and disease prevention. She has years of training under her belt, having led 100+ fitness and yoga class formats in private and corporate settings and teaching collegiate courses in exercise physiology, sports physiology, biomechanics, and nutrition and wellness.
Yoga changed the direction of Shannon's life — and so did Radiance. She first found yoga in college when she was looking for a way to recover from chronic stress and overtraining. What started as something she needed quickly became something she loved — and eventually, something she wanted to share with others. Her journey with Radiance started as a student: she completed her 200-hour yoga teacher training right there, began teaching, and years later had the opportunity to become the owner of the studio that had played such an important role in her own story.
Since then, Radiance has grown and evolved: thousands of people through its doors, more than 150 yoga teachers trained, a beautiful new home, and a community Shannon is incredibly proud to call home. Today, she leads the vision and growth of Radiance with one big question guiding her: how can we help people feel amazing inside and out?
