Testimonials
I would like to thank Sharon for helping me in my yoga practice these last 18 months. As a practicing sports martial artist I have collected a few war wounds/injuries over the years. Yoga gave my body a very worth while release & new found flexibility. I also work in construction & through yoga have a better understanding of body alignment which helped me become injury free when onsite lifting is involved.
Sharon is a truly dedicated Yoga teacher & I recommend you attend one of her classes & see for yourself.
I have really enjoyed the classes over the last few years and your clear and calm instruction have made it a wonderful experience. Thank you so much for all your support and making my introduction to yoga such an enjoyable part of my life.
I have been one of Sharon’s students at Mascot for the past 5 years and find the classes brilliant. I have become more flexible, have a calmer state of mind and definitely sleep much sounder.
Sharon tailors the postures to suit the individual, so you only are working at your own pace/level. With her calming tone of voice, caring ways and great communication skills I would have no hesitation in continuing to recommend her to my family and friends.
