Yoga
People tend to think of yoga as a practice that requires great strength and flexibility. Unfortunately, images of yoga in the media and on the web can be intimidating and can scare people away from the practice. It would be very normal to see images like these and think, “There is no way I can do that!”
Well, Sharon can’t do many of those poses either and she practices yoga almost every day! Her approach to yoga is Body, Breath and Mind Yoga and Restorative Yoga. The poses she teaches are accessible and designed to benefit the body in multiple ways.
Classes begin with simple movements to connect the body and mind and warm the muscles. As the class progresses, students are encouraged to approach their practice with curiosity and inquiry, bringing a little movement into many places.
Body, Breath & Mind Connection
What is Body, Breath & Mind Connection Yoga? This practice encourages you to synchronize the energies of the body, breath and mind by leading the movement of the body within the framework of the breath and focusing the mind.
