Shannon Hernandez is a 20 year radio veteran from Phoenix, Arizona.  In 2017 he was diagnosed with hypothyroidism and found himself falling into a depression that felt unique for a 41 year old.  In the four years since, he has made it a point to figure out what "works for him" with this condition and uncovered more than just a metabolic issue.  He tried all different types of exercise, resulting in multiple ankle injuries that would stymie his progress, until April of 2020 when he discovered yoga.  He thought that yoga wasn’t a manly option for exercise, but now it is a part of his daily routine for a number of reasons.  The combined benefits of mind and body have not only "chilled" him out more as a human, but with a year of yoga in a pandemic, it became rehabilitation on his joints and how he thinks.
