About The Studio
We're a small yoga studio located in Ferndale, Washington. Shawna founded Firmana with the goal of offering Hatha and Yin classes for students who want a personal and grounded practice. Our classes are kept small on purpose so we can really support each student and adapt poses to their unique body, energy, and experience level.
Our approach is rooted in traditional Hatha and the deep stillness of Yin. We focus on mindful movement, functional alignment, and healing rest. We welcome those of all experience levels, from curious beginners to seasoned yogis. If you're looking for a slower and more attentive space to practice, please stop by Firmana Yoga and see what we're all about.
About Shawna
Hi, I'm the heart and founder of Firmana Yoga. I've wanted to start a community focused yoga studio for over a decade now, and I’m so excited to finally have the opportunity to do so. For now, it's just me guiding each class, but I have dreams of slow and organic growth.
I'm an RYT-500 certified teacher, and completed my foundational training with SOYA (South Okanagan Yoga Academy). After that, I focused on working to deepen my studies in Yin, and now have more than 10 years of dedicated personal practice.
My teaching reflects a steady and intuitive approach rooted in traditional yoga wisdom. Grounded in Sanskrit philosophy and SOYA's teachings, I emphasize presence and gentle self-inquiry over perfection. I aim to meet every student exactly where they are.
My Classes
I offer both Hatha and Yin classes. Hatha emphasizes mindful movement and flow to build strength, balance, and awareness of breath. Yin focuses on meditative stillness to create space for alignment, inner release, and nervous system support.
Whether you’re unrolling your mat for the first time or returning to your practice for deeper connection, Firmana Yoga offers a welcoming place in Ferndale for grounding, growth, and rest.
