How the Trio Came to Be

Shannon and Mariza first met in 2015 and quickly felt an unspoken connection that would grow into something lasting. Their first friend date was a yoga class, marking the beginning of a friendship rooted in movement, curiosity, healing, and a shared desire to create meaningful spaces for others.

Over the years, that friendship deepened through countless conversations, adventures, challenges, and transformations. In 2023, they officially formed Soluna Co LLC with the vision of creating the kind of space they had once needed themselves at the beginning of their own journeys. What began as intimate gatherings in their homes slowly expanded into events across Colorado Springs before eventually finding a home inside their small studio at Team Underground. Through every season, Soluna grew into a community grounded in authenticity, compassion, embodiment, and connection.

Around that same time, Jaqueline had been cultivating her own healing path through her business, Jaguar Lotus, a space rooted in yin, sound, ritual, stillness, and deep embodiment. Her path crossed naturally with Shannon and Mariza’s through the world of Muay Thai, a meeting that at first seemed simple, but quickly revealed a much deeper alignment.

As the three women grew closer, what emerged between them was not just friendship or collaboration, but a shared understanding of what healing spaces could truly become. Together, they began hosting curated events that each brought their own medicine to:

movement, sound, ritual, stillness, strength, softness, and deep embodiment. With each gathering, the vision expanded. What unfolded felt effortless and deeply familiar, as though each woman strengthened and balanced the others in a way none of them had expected.

In 2024, the three traveled together to Cozumel, the place where Shannon and Mariza had first planted the early seeds of their own healing journeys years before. Walking those same streets together felt symbolic, as though past and future were quietly converging into something new.

Later that year, Shannon and Mariza attended a retreat led by Jaqueline in Tulum. Surrounded by movement, ceremony, music, nature, and intentional community, the vision for something larger became undeniable. What had once existed as Soluna and Jaguar Lotus no longer felt like separate paths moving alongside one another, but a single vision being called into existence together.

From that evolution, Ixora was born.

Named after the legendary flower said to be called forth by the sun, moon, and jaguar together, Ixora became a symbol of the shared vision they were planting into the world: a reminder that life exists both in light and shadow, softness and strength, movement and stillness. A space where all parts of the human experience are welcome.



Today, Ixora stands as a reflection of all three founders and the unique medicine each brings into the space. Together, they continue building a community rooted in growth, authenticity, creativity, embodiment, and belonging, creating spaces where people feel seen, supported, and invited to fully become themselves.

About Shannon

Shannon is a Kundalini yoga instructor, Muay Thai competitor, movement facilitator, and feminine archetype weaver whose work is rooted in the belief that people were never meant to choose between strength and softness. Inspired by the philosophy of being a warrior in a garden rather than a gardener in a war, she creates spaces that explore the relationship between power, embodiment, emotional release, and self-trust.

Her signature Pulse classes blend rhythmic movement, breathwork, strength, and self-expression into experiences designed to help people reconnect with their bodies in an empowering and authentic way. Alongside movement, Shannon also facilitates sound healing, Reiki, intuitive touch, breathwork, and ceremony.

Through every class and gathering, her intention is the same: to remind others that softness is not weakness, strength is not hardness, and true empowerment comes from learning how to embody both.

About Jaqueline

Jaqueline is a sound healer, yin practitioner, Reiki facilitator, and intuitive guide whose work lives at the intersection of deep rest, emotional release, and spiritual remembrance. Her sessions blend the grounding resonance of the gong, the slow medicine of yin, and the subtle energy of Reiki, inviting people to soften into themselves and access the clarity and peace that live beneath the surface.

She carries a presence that is both gentle and commanding, a quiet strength that encourages others to exhale, unravel, and reconnect with their inner world. Jaqueline’s approach honors the whole person: body, mind, heart, and spirit. Her gift is creating atmospheres where people feel safe to let go and experience transformation from the inside out.

The Story Of Ixora

Long ago, the world slipped out of rhythm.

The fire of doing had burned too hot.

The pull of feeling had been forgotten.

The path between shadow and light grew tangled and untended.

The people were tired. Disconnected. Hungry for something real.

And so, three sacred forces rose.

The Sun, radiant and bold, came to restore movement, creation, and the courage to shine.

The Moon, deep and steady, came to restore rhythm, reflection, and the right to rest.

And from the space between them came the Jaguar, the one who walks between worlds,

guardian of the threshold, keeper of transformation.

Together, they called forth a gift.

A single flower, glowing with both fire and stillness, a living flame that could bloom under the sun and glow beneath the moon.

A symbol of balance. Of sacred power. Of becoming.

They named it Ixora.

The jaguar carried the flower gently

and placed it on the path between worlds,

so that all who passed might remember:

You are both light and shadow.

Strength and softness.

Fire and stillness.

To walk the path of Ixora is to bloom in your own rhythm, to move with courage, intuition, and devotion to your becoming.

And where the flower was planted, a sanctuary grew.

Not just for some. but for all.

For teachers. For seekers. For the wild-hearted and the weary.

For anyone ready to rise, to root, and to remember.

This is that place.
