A home practice asks one thing of you: to keep your word to yourself. That discipline is the practice.
Shane practices live from Paris, not from a recording, and his voice comes directly to you in your own room. Practicing with him at home is different from a studio class: the room is yours, and his voice guides you as you learn to listen, adjust, and notice what your body needs.
Over time, the same voice and familiar faces build strength, stability, and freedom of movement, along with a calm, grounded mind. The weekly home practice with Shane becomes a skill you can rely on.

ABOUT
Shane Phillips — Rooted in Tradition. Alive in Practice.
His approach is distinctive: a keen, observant eye and clear guidance that leaves students feeling genuinely seen and invited into deeper practice. He helps practitioners build physical strength, stability, and freedom of movement while cultivating mental calm and grounded resilience.
Shane's journey reflects nearly twenty years of immersive practice and close mentorship with senior Iyengar teachers—a rare lineage he honored while choosing not to confine himself to any single institution. In Los Angeles, he trained daily at YogaWorks Montana Avenue—a vibrant gathering place where leading teachers shaped a generation of practitioners. Welcomed as family, he learned through direct, hands-on transmission and built relationships with senior teachers that continue as a living dialogue. As an artist of form and communication, he continually refines how to share this work.
With this foundation and his mentors' encouragement, Shane moved to Paris in 2022 to carry the work forward in English. His wife, who studies with him, was instrumental in the move. His teaching reaches a growing local and international community—through Paris classes, privates, and an online home practice community—weaving classical Hatha precision with California openness. He continues advanced study with senior Iyengar leaders in India, Italy, and the United States.
Yogaś citta‑vṛtti‑nirodhaḥ.
— Yoga is the stilling of the changing states of the mind.
— Yoga Sūtra I.2 · Patañjali · translation: Edwin F. Bryant
APPROACH
Often called Embodied Alignment, Shane's teaching pairs precise, progressive form with attentive direction to cultivate physical intelligence and steady the mind. He teaches with compassionate authority, aiming to free students from limiting patterns. He creates a supportive, non-performative space where all levels work honestly; direct and often wry, he offers clear, practical instruction with warmth and exacting care—always with respectful consent.
His precise attention to how each person receives the work brings clarity and restores energy. Through hands-on refinement and progressive sequencing, he prioritizes breath, foundations, and core—cultivating listening and stillness—while addressing root causes of posture and tension. Experienced students find the depth they seek; newcomers find a clear path to steady progress.
Rooted in nearly two decades of mentorship and classical training, Shane has carved out a rare lineage-informed path, integrating wider influences without sacrificing technical rigor. He approaches yoga as a living craft—disciplined, technically rigorous, and shaped with an artist's attention to form and communication.

— Asana is perfect firmness of body, steadiness of intelligence and benevolence of spirit.

Specialized group classes
Restorative, ropes, inversions, and home practice each work a different part of the body and mind. Restorative settles the nervous system. Ropes build support and alignment. Inversions build strength and steadiness.
Private sessions
The foundation is built in group; the refinement happens in private. In one-to-one sessions, you learn to listen to your body, refine your technique, and shape a practice that fits your life.
