Meet the Team

  • Shannah Green, Lead Teacher Trainer

    Shannah Green has been practicing and teaching yoga for over 20 years. Her journey began with Iyengar Yoga, under the guidance of the esteemed Patricia Walden, where she immediately felt aligned with her life’s purpose and calling. She received teaching certifications through Kripalu Center for Yoga (Stockbridge, MA), and Eyes of the World Yoga Center, studying under Tom Gillette (Providence).

    Shannah’s teaching style is eclectic and ever-evolving, influenced by multiple traditions and a wide range of respected teachers. Her yoga classes are known to be challenging yet accessible, mindful, precise, and empowering. Drawing on yoga philosophy, her classes offer innumerable opportunities for students to consider the ways that they might more fully integrate the practice into their daily lives.

  • Danielle Voight, Lead Teacher Trainer

    Danielle Voight completed her first Yoga Teacher Training in 2012 at Shiva Shakti Yoga Shala in Pushkar, India, four years after beginning her own journey with the practice. After teaching for some time, she completed a 100-hour training in meditation and Ayurveda, at the Sampoorna Yoga School in Goa, India, and received her certification in Yoga Sculpt from CorePower Yoga in Boston.

    Joy is foundational to her practice and teaching, and it is her honor to provide space for her students to return to their true and joyful nature. She loves telling stories about the Hindu deities, discussing Ayurveda (the sister science to Yoga), and sequencing in ways that are creative, intentional, and strong.

  • Satsang Teachers

    At Satsang, one of our core beliefs is that our education never stops. As yoga teachers, our practice is a dynamic, living, thing.

    Together, our teachers’ expertise spans topics like yoga philosophy, functional movement and anatomy, yin and restorative, meditation and chanting. We are all thrilled to study with you over the course of Yoga Teacher Training.

  • Kaplan Trudo, Teacher Assistant & Admin

    Kaplan (they/them) completed their 200-hour Hatha Yoga Teacher Training under the instruction of Ellen Niedringhaus and Candace Glass in St. Louis, Missouri. As a yoga practitioner and doctoral student in Africana Studies, their interests include yoga history and philosophy—and thinking about the relationship between black freedom movements and yoga.

    Kaplan is excited to accompany you on your yoga teacher training journey—and 9 times out of ten, will be the person responding to your emails.

Community Scholarship Fund

At Satsang, we are delighted by any opportunity to usher in a new cohort of yoga teachers. We see this work as an investment in our students, of course, but also as a deeper and long-term investment in our community at Satsang. We are thrilled to launch our inaugural scholarship fund as a way to more sustainably support the continuing education of historically underrepresented groups, as yoga practitioners and teachers.

We invite you to support us in this mission, by contributing to our Community Scholarship Fund. This year, the scholarship fund will subsidize the tuition fees for a minimum of two teacher trainees.

Our goal is to raise $2000 by May 31st—which is the equivalent of 100 community members contributing $20 each.

If you would like to participate, please use Venmo or cash—so that the entirety of the donation can go toward the Scholarship Fund. If you would like to use Zelle, please write to ytt@satsangpvd.com and we can provide you with the appropriate information.

Finally, we would love to publicly acknowledge your investment in our community, by adding your name to our Friends of YTT board below. If you would like to remain anonymous, please indicate that with your contribution.

We are 25% of the way toward our goal!
