About Sharon
Yoga is transformational, mentally, physically and spiritually. Over the last 20 years, I’ve sought out the best teachers to help me understand how yoga works and how I can effectively teach it to others.
You can take from the practice what you need in the moment, whether that’s physical relief from pain, mental rest from stress, or a spiritual outlet. Some of you may prefer the more physically focused pilates or Fascia Flow to start you on the journey toward a connected pain-free existence.
Through work with fascial movement experts, meditation teachers, traditional yoga instruction, and contemporary pilates, I’m able to make private sessions and classes highly effective physically to reduce pain, increase strength and flexibility.
We move without judgement, enjoy each others company and de-stress. Often students say I couldn’t do this movement or I couldn’t figure out how to do just what you were saying.
“Just keep coming,” I always say. The practice itself will help advance your understanding. We all go through the layers in our own time. At first you can't focus on everything. Over time, you'll understand more and be able to do more.
My pilates classes are more focused on the physical, but still welcoming and accessible to newcomers. Fascia Flow is a new class that steps outside the bounds of either discipline, but holds onto the heart of all mind body movement, to create strength in connection and coordination throughout the body.
I’m certified in classical Vinyasa Krama yoga by Srivatsa Ramaswami. After years of studying with senior VK teacher, Pam Johnson, and doing various short trainings with Ramaswami, I went to Los Angeles to do his full teacher training at Loyola Marymount University. Ramaswami studied for 30 years with Sri T. Krishnamacharya, the father of modern yoga.
I’ve trained extensively in using the neuro-fascial network in movement with Karin Locher, founder of Spatial Medicine, out of the UK. I’ve also done the dissection training with Tom Myers, author of Anatomy Trains.
I’m certified in Stott Pilates, a contemporary approach to Joseph Pilates’ method, which incorporates modern biomechanical knowledge into the method.
