A method of yoga for ALL, Shane teaches in the tradition of B.K.S. Iyengar.
"The world is filled with movement. What the world needs is more conscious movement, more action." — B.K.S. IYENGAR
Shane Phillips, from the United States, has spent nearly two decades in disciplined practice, refining his skills through a distinctive journey marked by deep familial bonds and unwavering commitment. Guided by mentors who accelerated his growth, Shane was fortunate to receive classical mentoring under the Iyengar family of senior teachers in Los Angeles, California, and continues his studies with them and other senior international teachers.
Now based in Paris, France, since 2022, Shane is grateful to share his dedication to Iyengar Yoga with a growing global community. Teaching in English, as is customary in India, he fosters a welcoming environment that draws regular students from different studios. With precise, mindful attention, Shane guides his students through their practice, encouraging them to expand their understanding of yoga.
Driven by a commitment to excellence, Shane continually brings fresh insights that help students build confidence, deepen self-awareness, and connect with their bodies and minds.
Rooted in the Iyengar Tradition
Iyengar Yoga, based on the ancient art and science of Hatha Yoga, blends physical postures, breath awareness, and moving meditation to harmonize body, mind, and breath. This practice offers profound benefits, promoting inner harmony, strength, and well-being.
As a seasoned practitioner with deep respect for B.K.S. Iyengar’s teachings, Shane guides students with precision and dedication. His approach emphasizes alignment, mindfulness, and strength, fostering mental clarity and a deeper connection to yoga’s transformative potential.
Iyengar Yoga provides lasting benefits for all levels:
• Stress relief and tension reduction
• Sharpened mental clarity and focus
• Enhanced posture and alignment
• Increased strength, flexibility, and vitality
• Better sleep and improved well-being
"Through cultivation of friendliness, compassion, joy and indifference to pleasure and pain, virtue and vice respectively, the consciousness becomes favorably disposed, serene and benevolent." — PATANAJALI
Discover the essence of Iyengar Yoga, founded by Guruji, B.K.S. Iyengar, in the What is Iyengar Yoga section. This practice emphasizes precise alignment, breath awareness, and the use of props to transform movement into active meditation—helping you both understand and deepen your practice. Rooted in the eight limbs of yoga as outlined in the Yoga Sutras by Patanjali, this method reflects a classical tradition that has shaped modern yoga practices worldwide.
Have a look in the Deepening Your Practice section, where students with Shane can experience Restorative Yoga, which promotes deep relaxation through supportive props, and Ropes Yoga, a method that enhances alignment and release by working with the body’s natural weight and support.
These transformative practices are available in Shane’s public classes, offered several days a week—see the schedule below for details.
