About the Owner

Shanon Farney's journey began in Camarillo, California, leading her to a thriving career in corporate retail after graduating from Chico State. Along this path, she experienced love, marriage, and motherhood. However, unexpected life events prompted her to reassess her priorities and health.

During this transformative period, which led her to leave corporate retail in 2021, marking a significant shift in her life's journey towards holistic well-being and community, Shanon discovered the healing power of yoga and pilates, particularly hot yoga. It became her lifeline, a safe space that led her to explore various yoga forms, including 26&2, vinyasa, yin, and hot pilates. Motivated by her deepening passion for yoga and pilates and holistic well-being, she pursued yoga and pilates certifications to open Mountain Sangha Yoga in the serene mountain community of Boulder Creek in Santa Cruz County.

Mountain Sangha Yoga is a yoga and pilates studio and a healthy mountain community gathering space, fostering unity through these practices. Shanon's harmonious blend of her business expertise with her passion for yoga, pilates, and community reflects her commitment to creating a meaningful and transformative space for all who seek healing, growth, and unity. ~Mountain Roots; Sangha Spirit
