Hello and welcome!

I’m Shannon Wheeler, a yoga teacher and functional movement coach based in Tulsa, Oklahoma. I began teaching yoga in 2012 and have always woven elements of functional movement into my sequencing to help students build strength, resilience, and body awareness.

In 2025, I earned my 100-hour Steel Mace Vinyasa certification with Summer Huntington and began the Head Coach track to help expand this modality in the Midwest. I now offer Certification Prep Workshops and SMV Level 1 Trainings for yoga teachers, trainers, and coaches in the movement space.

You can work with me through public classes at Anthroproach, private group sessions, or 1:1 training. I’m passionate about helping people reach their goals, especially within the energy and support of community.

Public Small-Group Classes at Anthroproach

Public small-group classes are capped at 10 students to keep the experience focused and intentional. Each class begins with joint priming and gentle mobility work to prepare the body. The main portion centers on conditioning, using 4–5 steel mace movements in a structured, timed protocol. We close with a weighted flow, a thoughtful cooldown, and a final resting pose.

1:1 Functional Movement Coaching

I love coaching 1:1 because it allows us to create a program tailored specifically to you — helping you build strength, increase mobility, and move with greater ease and less pain.

We begin with a functional movement screen and goal-setting session. From there, I design a personalized program to support your progress. Private coaching also includes weekly programming to complement your in-person session (with a virtual option available).

Private Group Training

  • “I started Shannon’s program without knowing exactly what I was in for, and I’m so glad I took the opportunity to do it. As an office worker who has been slacking off on fitness for the past year, our sessions together were enlightening and challenging. Shannon structures the program in a way that helps you understand your baseline, and tailors the exercises to meet you where you're at. It was incredible to see improvement in a short amount of time, and having the recorded sessions for reference after was helpful. I came out of the program with a better awareness of my posture, areas of weakness to focus on, and ways to improve them.”

  • “I moved from 221 pounds in January 2025 to 165 pounds now. I only do yoga/steel mace. That's it. Your mental health has a lot to do with what you carry physically. This practice supports both - mental and physical. “

  • “I can feel a huge/complete/ total difference in my mobility. I'm MUCH more in tune to my body. I feel better. I have some balance, both physically and mentally which helps me navigate the chaos my ADHD likes to hang out in.”

  • “I just turned forty, and I want to feel literally balanced, able to move in all the ways I may want to move, and wildly capable of getting off of the floor without my hands. Enter Shannon and her empowered movement programs. She customizes a truly enjoyable yoga meets strength training flow. I’m really into it, and I feel really good during and after I do it. Thanks Shannon!“

  • “I’m deeply enjoying Shannon’s empowered movement program. It’s like yoga and strength moves smoothed into one very pleasing flow. I like moving my body in so many incremental ways that add up to a stronger core, better balance, and more functional capacity. It’s a workout I look forward to.“
