Today we’d like to introduce you to Logan Cannon.
Hi Logan, can you start by introducing yourself? We’d love to learn more about how you got to where you are today?
I grew up in a small town in western Nebraska, where I first began to feel the pull to carve out a path of my own. After high school, I took a gap year, then began my studies at a small community college in Colorado. I eventually completed my degree in Environmental Studies at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln.
After graduation, I embarked on my first major international adventure—three months trekking through the mountains of Nepal, followed by another three months backpacking through Cambodia and Vietnam. That trip was transformative, awakening a deep love of travel and setting me on an entirely new course.
Back in the States, I moved west, living in the mountains of Colorado and later in Jackson, Wyoming. I fully embraced the rhythm of seasonal work—guiding in the summer and winter, then traveling and exploring during the off-seasons. In the fall of 2015, I traveled to India for my first yoga teacher training, which deepened my connection to wellness and healing. I returned to work at a guest ranch just outside Yellowstone, where I taught yoga and guided fly fishing trips.
Eventually, I felt the nudge to make another big move and was on the verge of buying a one-way ticket back to India. But before I could leave, both of my parents experienced health concerns. I felt a strong calling to share yoga with them as part of their healing journeys—but I also knew my 200-hour certification wasn’t enough.
While sitting in the recovery room after my mom’s second shoulder surgery that year, I came across a yoga therapy program that caught my attention. I chose a school in Miami because of its rigorous clinical focus and, in January 2017, moved there sight unseen. During the 2.5 years of that program, I spent most of my free time in the Florida Keys scuba diving—which is actually where I met my husband, who was also a diver and a boat captain.
My school received grants from the National Parkinson’s Foundation, allowing us to offer a weekly group class for individuals living with Parkinson’s. This work shaped the trajectory of my practice, drawing me toward serving those with neurological conditions like Alzheimer’s, MS, and Parkinson’s.
My husband and I married in 2021 and moved to Spicewood, Texas to be closer to his family. I continued to see yoga therapy clients virtually and also started a virtual co-working collective for women. Many entrepreneurs work from home, and it can be incredibly isolating. The collective became a space where women could be seen, heard, and supported. We have focused work sessions and also make space for connection—like chatting around the watercooler in a traditional office.
In the summer of 2024, we moved to Juneau, Alaska so my husband could get back on the water driving whale watching boats. I loved being surrounded by mountains again and spending time hiking and exploring. We welcomed our first son in August of 2024 and quickly realized how much we loved Alaska. We’ve decided to split our time between Texas and Alaska, and I’m so grateful for the businesses I’ve created that allow for that kind of flexibility and freedom. The virtual nature of my work has made it possible to design a life that supports both adventure and connection—two values that have shaped my journey from the very beginning.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
Some of the biggest challenges I’ve faced along the way have been feelings of isolation and loneliness. Taking an unconventional path means not everyone understands your choices—and that can make it hard to explain why you love the life you’ve built. There’s no real guidebook for life (wouldn’t that be nice?), but when you choose to forge your own way, you move even further away from any sort of roadmap or traditional advice.
One of the hardest parts of this journey has been leaving behind incredible friends with each move. But despite the distance, I’ve been fortunate to build lifelong friendships—women who have supported me through every chapter and continue to show up for me no matter where I land.
As you know, we’re big fans of you and your work. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about what you do?
I’m a certified yoga therapist specializing in working with clients who have neuromotor degenerative conditions such as Parkinson’s Disease, multiple sclerosis, and Alzheimer’s. My work is grounded in compassion, education, and the belief that healing can happen in many forms. As a new mom, I’ve also recently started teaching postpartum mommy-and-me yoga classes, creating a gentle space for connection, recovery, and community during the early stages of motherhood.
In addition to my therapeutic work, I’m the founder of *gather + grow*, a virtual co-working collective for female entrepreneurs. Many women running businesses from home face isolation and a lack of structure, and the collective provides both accountability and connection. We meet three times a week on Zoom for virtual work sessions that boost productivity through body doubling, and we make space for casual conversation—much like chatting around the watercooler in a traditional office. It’s a space where women can feel seen, heard, and supported, while also staying focused and aligned with their goals. The collective has become a powerful container not just for getting things done, but for building community and creating lasting, meaningful business relationships.
Are there any apps, books, podcasts, blogs or other resources you think our readers should check out?
I’m a serial book starter and can never say no to buying a new book. My mom was an English teacher, so reading was always a big part of my life growing up. These days, my shelves reflect a mix of personal development, mindset, and business books—balanced out by what I like to call my “beach reads.” I also have a deep love for books about nature, and whenever I travel, I seek out historical books about women from that region. I love learning how they helped shape the place and its history.
I’m slowly getting into podcasts, though I tend to be more of a visual and kinesthetic learner, so it’s not always my go-to format. That said, I really enjoy *American Scandal* and *The Goal Digger Podcast* by Jenna Kutcher—they both bring something different to the table, and I appreciate their storytelling and value.
When I’m working, I love using the Forest app—it keeps me off my phone by growing a tree during focused work sessions, and with the paid version, they actually plant real trees, which I think is so beautiful. For project management, I use Asana. I set weekly and daily tasks for each of my businesses, and it helps me stay organized and make sure nothing slips through the cracks.
