Hi, I’m Shauna Jade Larson

A woman meditating indoors with colorful chakra cards placed on the floor in front of her. She is sitting cross-legged, draped in a light shawl, with a calm expression. Behind her is a red cabinet with decorative items and a potted plant nearby. The room has a serene, spiritual ambiance.

The 3 principal attributes of The Maitri Collective are Mind, Movement and Maitri, and they inform the methods I share. I aspire to instruct and guide others toward experiencing the innate sense of well-being and vitality within. The practices that form The Maitri Collective combine healing, transformation, and restoration that is compassionate and lasting.

My personal life experiences have led me to train in these practices: pain, crisis, trauma, parenting, aging, sickness, loss, near-death experiences, and death.

With empathy and skillful means, I am dedicated to accompanying women as we navigate life's challenges, and connect with our authentic selves. This is my intention and aspiration.

Together we can explore specialized and integrative methods that I have found essential in life’s pendulum of gain and loss, success and failure, praise and blame, pleasure and pain.

“Shauna’s resilience and determination plus her personal understanding of the effects of trauma from the inside out, in my mind, positions her to have a true compassion for the people she would be serving through Trauma Center-Trauma-Sensitive Yoga”
