About Me
Hello, I’m Sharon.
I first came to yoga in my twenties. From my very first class, I felt an immediate sense of familiarity, a quiet recognition that this was something my body had been searching for.
I had explored other forms of movement, but nothing felt quite like this. Yoga felt like home. It met me on every level, and I knew I wanted to keep returning.
That feeling has stayed with me. I still step onto my mat with a beginner’s mind, curious, attentive and willing to listen. There is always something new to discover through the body and the breath.
After many years of personal practice, I completed my 200-hour teacher training in 2024. My training is rooted in Hatha yoga and shaped by a considered, non-dogmatic approach, teaching from the ground up, with attention to how the body moves and responds.
I am currently working towards completing my 300-hour teacher training, deepening my understanding of the body and its capacity for adaptation and change. Ongoing study matters to me; I believe good teaching evolves alongside experience.
My classes are intentionally non-performative. They are designed for real bodies, all bodies, at any stage of practice. Whether you are completely new to yoga or returning after time away, the invitation is the same: begin where you are.
We move with awareness rather than ambition. We build steadily from foundations rather than chasing shapes. The intention is simple, that you leave feeling refreshed, stronger, and more at ease in your body.
Stepping more fully into teaching felt like a natural evolution, a quiet decision to give greater space to something that has supported me for many years. Creating spaces where people can reconnect with themselves feels both purposeful and grounding.
Ālaya (आलय)
Pronounced: uh-lie-ya (like papaya)
A Sanskrit word meaning home, dwelling or inner sanctuary.
In the context of practice, Alaya reflects a return to the body as a place of awareness, support and rest.
