Shannon draws from her professional and personal journey to assist others in their pursuit of health and healing. Central to her approach is nurturing a strong self-connection, recognizing it as the foundation for growth and transformation. She is dedicated to guiding individuals towards overcoming obstacles and aligning with their purpose, enabling them to build fulfilling lives. She is passionate about helping you expand the capacity of your nervous system to receive and hold more. Helping you find the safety to do this (through trauma-informed practices).
Using various techniques, Shannon empowers individuals to shift their perspectives, leveraging tools such as breathwork, yoga nidra, meditation and shamanic journey to transcend the constraints of their conscious minds and connect with their bodies, heart, subconscious and emotions. Her ultimate aim is to address root causes of stress, anxiety, anger, depression, grief, trauma and pain as well as other challenges, facilitating nervous system regulation, clarity, focus, productivity, confidence and overall well-being. She is committed to fostering personal and professional development, helping individuals cultivate greater joy, happiness and fulfillment. She creates a safe and supported environment for people with any level of experience and will make sure you feel entirely comfortable before diving into any of the sessions at the retreat.
She lives in Whistler and loves the outdoors. This retreat offers the best of both worlds - being in nature and the outdoors as well as supporting ourselves through healing modalities to reduce anxiety, stress and overwhelm. She loves building community and bringing people together and is very excited to be hosting this retreat in such a beautiful part of BC.

EVE VERBERNE
Yoga Teacher
IG: @eve.olving
Eve approaches yoga as a dedicated, lifelong student, guiding others toward presence and connection to self.
She is passionate about making yoga accessible to everyone. She believes that the true intention of the practice lies not in being “flexible” or achieving a perfect pose, but in cultivating self acceptance and connection – meeting yourself on the mat exactly where you are. Everyone can practice yoga, and Eve designs all her classes to be inclusive and supportive of every body.
Drawing from her 200-hour yoga training at Salty Prana and Breathwork/Pranayama certification through Carolyn Anne Budgie, Eve weaves together asana (physical postures), breath, and mindfulness practices. Her instruction strongly emphasizes the essential connection to breath as the anchor for creating presence, a vital tool for stepping out of the everyday hustle and returning to harmony and self.
Based in Whistler, Eve teaches a full range of levels in diverse settings, from gym to yoga studio. At the retreat her sessions will draw upon Hatha, Vinyasa, Yin, and restorative practices, ensuring every participant feels supported, challenged, and nurtured regardless of their experience. Eve loves spending time in nature and can’t wait to share her classes with you in such a beautiful and serene place at the Nuk Tessli Wilderness Lodge.
