  • Shannon Moyneur

    Pilates Instructor

    Shannon’s fitness teaching journey began in 2017 when she got her Yoga Teacher Training 200-hour certification (YTT-200). Her life was forever changed when she started practicing yoga, and knew it was something she wanted to learn deeper and share with others. In 2021, she pursued her Pilates certification and fell in love once again with a new style of fitness that she also had a passion to share. She has taught group reformer classes in Orange County, CA for multiple years before moving to Mexico and finally now calling Northwest Montana "home". She is so excited to continue sharing the joy of Pilates with the Whitefish and surrounding community!

    Yoga has been a profound force in her own life, allowing her to touch the light within herself and move through the world with more presence and compassion. It is her greatest joy to share this path with others—to hold space for them as they explore their own inner light and come home to themselves.

Commonly referred to as a “hype girl,” she leads with encouragement, helping every client discover their inner strength and is focused on making every class accessible!

  • Mia Mendoza

    To Mia, yoga is more than movement. Yoga is stillness. Silence. Play. Community. Love. It has been, and will always be, her chosen path to remembering who she is. Yoga became sacred to Mia in college–through times of darkness, life transitions, the unknown, yoga was her constant. She is beyond thrilled to have completed her 200hr YTT this year, and is honored to share fresh knowledge with her beautiful hometown. Mia weaves music, pranayama (breathwork), and philosophy into her vinyasa flows that are thoughtfully created for every-BODY. Although now a teacher, she is forever a student of yoga and cultivates a nurturing, honest, and loving environment on and off her mat. When she's not in the studio, you can find Mia skiing, hiking, fishing, and knitting!
