Namaste! My name is Shawn Tapler and I am a RYT® 500 Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT) with Yoga Alliance, which acknowledges the completion of a yoga teacher training with a Registered Yoga School (RYS). Ashtanga Yoga is my speciality and I enjoy helping others explore the physical, mental and spiritual benefits of what this ancient practice has to offer.
I have always been involved in fitness until in 2023 when my Mother was taken ill by cancer that I needed to find another outlet for my mental well-being. I attended my first hot yoga class specializing in Ashtanga Yoga and fell in love ever since. It allowed me to focus my sadness, anger and energy into my practice all whilst coping with my mother's illness. That is when I realized that true yoga happens OFF the mat.

It's not just about the "cool looking" poses one can get into, but how your state of mind allows you to do those things physically. That's when I realized I wanted to share this passion with others long after people came to me over the years asking for me to teach them.

My dog, Gizmo, was there every step of the way until one day I just blended the words "Gizmo" and "Yoga" together and before I knew it, I had my revelation to call it "Gizmoga" and Gizmo approves!
I offer one on one private lessons and/or group classes if one wishes to arrange. Please contact me for more details as I am happy to help tailor your desired practice to one suited to you and your needs! I look forward to hearing & working with you! Namaste! 🕉️🧘‍♀️🧘🙏☀️
