Shiloh Blackwater
From his first yoga class several years ago, Shiloh has noticed the effects that mindful movement had on his physical and mental health. After many years, Shiloh began to deepen his personal practice and was inspired by one of his teachers to take the dive into teacher training in 2021. Becoming a 200-CYT that same year.
Shiloh is inspired by his training as an aerialist and dancer, encouraging his students to think "outside the box" when it comes to mindful movement. Shiloh's themes explore, not only the physical but the emotional side of the Yogi as well, drawing on the creative nature of the practice as well as our own inner worlds.

Gordon plays his 28” Jupiter Gong, his 14” Crystal Singing Bowl, and other soothing sound instruments during the deep relaxation (sound therapy— sound bath) session of each yoga or meditation class. The sound waves from these instruments can resonate within the body at the cellular level, promote the free flow of energy throughout the body, and release chronic tension allowing a deeper state of meditation, rest, and calm.
Gordon is retired as a Licensed Professional Engineer in Texas following a long career in public health. In addition, Gordon lived 12 years in central México where he created a successful business developing, manufacturing and distributing natural health products.
He is excited to share his passion for the calming, balancing and rejuvenating qualities of yoga, gong, and meditation.
