Scott brings world of yoga instruction to Blyth
Londesborough area native
Shannon Scott is hoping to bring a
world’s worth of knowledge to the
area through her SHINE Yoga
Studio.
Scott has been teaching yoga for
four years now. Most recently, she
has been teaching locally,
specifically through local schools
and her home-based studio,
which is located outside
of Londesborough.
“I’ll be starting in Blyth in
September, using East Side Dance
Studio for space,” she said. “I’m also
at the YMCA in Goderich and
Clinton and local public schools.”
Scott travelled the world learning
about yoga in order to better teach it
and eventually found herself back in
Huron County, living and working
just outside of Londesborough.
Last year she started teaching at
local schools through the Foundation
for Education and has since found
herself teaching school-year-long
courses at places like Howick Public
School. She also provides private
lessons.
Scott began practising yoga in
1999 and says she is incredibly
fortunate to be able to count teaching
as her profession.
“I regularly teach between four
and 20 classes a week,” she said. I’m
very blessed to have that. The
majority of teachers have another
job, but I’m able to dedicate myself
to that.”
Scott has extensive training both
in yoga and related fields that she
has acquired through education
around the world.
She is a registered Yoga Teacher -
500, which means an advanced level,
and she is also working towards
being able to train trainers. She also
has education as a Child Youth
Worker and as an expressive arts
facilitator.
“All of that combines really well,”
she said. “It might seem different,
but they are all really about
empowerment, healing and growth
so everything comes together to help
me help people.”
Scott studied theatre arts at
Fanshawe College, received her
child youth worker education at
Durham College and started her
yoga training through Ashaya Yoga
in Massachusetts. She also trained in
Atlanta, Georgia to learn specialized
yoga for children and travelled to
locales like Thailand and Scotland to
further expand her horizons.
Scott will be offering free yoga
and mediation “tasters” at the East
Side Dance Studio in Blyth on
Saturday, Sept. 12.
She said that the style of yoga
people will experience there
is distinctive from many
other types.
“I use biomechanical alignment
and heart-centred techniques,” she
said. “That means that the
movements are safe from an
alignment point of view and they
enhance physical and mental health
and leave people feeling better.”
The “tasters” will each be a half-
hour and start at 10 a.m. with Mom
and baby yoga (pre-crawlers only).
Others offered that day will be kids
yoga, teen yoga and chair yoga to
name a few.
Scott said visitors are welcome to
come to any and all of the courses
and are encouraged to bring a yoga
mat if they have one.
For more information, and a
full list of the tasters,

Yoga for everyone
Londesborough native Shannon Scott’s SHINE Yoga Studio has been in operation for a little
more than a year locally, focusing on making yoga more accessible for everyone. Soon, Scott
will be teaching yoga through the East Side Dance Studio on Hamilton Street in Blyth. Above,

included funding, co-advertising,
marketing the village and the
township and moving the county’s
marketing focus away from the
shoreline somewhat and more to the
interior of the county.
Orchard explained that part of her
direction to staff was to get more
traction on issues by having them go
deeper and not have the focus of
staff be “miles wide and an inch
deep.”
BIA Chair Rick Elliott thanked
Orchard for the presentation and
said he looked forward to seeing the
results.

amalgamate into one organization
starting next year.
Councillor John Smuck explained
that the two groups would come
together and, with members from
local community groups, run the hall
for the entire community.
The new board will be chosen by
nomination at a meeting later this
year with Jan. 1 set as the merger.
***
Morris-Turnberry Council
approved having realtors provide
opinions of values on the site of the
former Turnberry Central School,
which the municipality owns.
The opinion of value, which is
estimated to cost $100 to $200, will
be paired with the information from
the Wingham Industrial Land
Strategy, to position the site as
developable land.
Council also considered having an
appraisal for the site, which costs
$2,000, but decided that was
unnecessary with Councillor
John Smuck stating that much
of the research and reports
involved in an appraisal will
be handled in the land strategy.

The contentious open air burning
bylaw is set to be discussed during
Morris-Turnberry’s next council
meeting on Sept. 15.
The bylaw, which seeks to control
what, when and how people can
burn on their properties, has drawn
ire from the community, however
Fire Prevention Officer James
Marshall has explained to council
that, without the document and
guidelines, there is significant risk to
ratepayers and the municipality.
