what are clients saying?  

OMM has given me the confidence and knowledge to launch my yoga business signature offer. Before I started the program, I spent a year hosting Zoom donation classes sporadically. While I enjoy them, alone they lack the ability to get my business to truly grow. Shawna distilled her knowledge to give me key insights into the market of yoga offerings. She asked thought provoking questions, provided feedback, and pushed me to grow my pitch skills. Off the mat mystery has helped me gain clarity in what I want to offer as a yoga teacher. 

I have made 20x the progress in 6 months with Shawna than I had in a year working alone.

Kristiana Gresham

Shawna helped me open my mind and realize that if we have a passion we must believe in ourselves, go for new horizons and knock on infinite doors without fear of rejection or failure since that is part of the path.

As a writer in training I had the pleasure to publish an article in a Portuguese magazine called Saúde Actual and I loved seeing results so quickly throughout my time in Off the Mat Mastery!! I am very grateful for this process and I only have gratitude to Shawna and a lot of strength to continue on my professional path. I recommend this program fully since I have gone through it achieving each of my objectives. I have grown so much through this process.

Sidney Bednarczyk

Participating in Off the Mat Mastery has already brought me so much clarity in my yoga business. Each session with Shawna has been like a slow unearthing of ideas I always knew were there. Her ability to hold space and truly listen to me has provided me the opportunity to be honest with myself about what I want for the future of my business. The homework is not only interesting, it’s transformative. The required reading has not only helped me in my business, but has even helped in my personal life and, dare I say it, in my marriage! I love the “accountability buddy” element of the program, too. It is so helpful to bounce ideas off each other and to talk out thoughts that may have been floating around in your head.

To anyone who feels like they need a gentle, but firm push towards creating the business of their dreams, I highly recommend working with Shawna through this program.
