SHAWN K. RUSSELL
YIN-YANG YOGA
& HEALTH COACHING
I'm Shawn,
the Creator of Born Yin
Born Yin was born out of a profound commitment to guiding individuals towards holistic wellness, whether through Yin & Yang Yoga, wellness coaching, community connection or any out-of-the-box means necessary.
My own journey has woven through diverse landscapes, from 12 years of living in China to eight years in Berlin, to the comforting familiarity of New England and the Pacific Northwest. Forests of pine trees, Atlantic seascapes, karst limestones along the Li River - all of these are home for me. My worldly experiences have imbued my yoga teaching and health coaching with a rich tapestry of global influences, enhancing my offerings for and bringing compassion to the people who walk in through the studio doors.
Amongst my teachers are Sarah & Ty Powers (Insight Yoga) and Lorraine Aronson (Yoga 109), a number of experts through the Institute of Integrative Nutrition, authors of profound books, entheogen guides, Vipassana teachers, trusting clients and students, loving friends, authentically supportive family and my dearest life partner. I am here living the life that I love because of all of you.
Beyond the mat, I find joy in writing, nurturing my four children, supporting others in plant medicine integration, exploring new horizons, speaking Mandarin, and crafting culinary delights.
About Born Yin
Here I've created more than just a studio—it's a sanctuary where connections flourish, communities thrive, and healing begins. In this space, I empower you to prioritize self-care, fostering a deeper relationship with yourself and the world around you. May you feel welcome to join me on this journey of self-discovery and transformation.
Born Yin is not just another studio to practice yoga at; it is a space to connect, to experience delicate transformation, and to meet yourself right where you are.
