Testimonials

Patricia Morcom, Mascot

I have been one of Sharon’s students 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.

Jackie Fletcher, OH & S Team Waverley Council

On behalf of Waverley Council and its employees we would like to thank you for participating in our Health Fair and helping to make it a success.

Prithi Joshi, Double Bay

Sharon has been my yoga teacher for the past 3 years. She has been a friendly, engaging teacher who can cater her lessons to fit individual needs. I have noticed an improvement in my core strength and in my ability to deal with stress since starting yoga with her.

The best aspects of The best aspects of Sharon’s teaching are her personal approach, the variety in her classes and deep knowledge of the yoga postures and breathing techniques. I would recommend her to anyone considering yoga as part of their lives.

Patricia Magalhaes, Aristocrat Technologies

Yoga provided a complete energy boost, helped us to release tensions, left us with a delightful sense of well being and total awareness of our body, as well as a sense of peace to help us face a hectic day at work.

Sharon was an excellent teacher and came to us twice a week for over 2 years. She is very patient and of each one of us & of our particular weaknesses/health issues. We loved her!

Nick Munday, Sydney Self Protection Services

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.

Mark Robson, Coogee

After six months of doing Yoga with Sharon’s guidance, I am happy to say that the backpain I once suffered seems to be a thing of the past, and even my physio has commented on how my back and shoulder muscles have loosened up.  The benefits of Yoga are endless. Thank You Sharon.

Connie Franze, Mascot

I have been one of Sharon’s student for the past 10 years and I find her classes are great as she treats everyone to suit their needs.

She is a very kind teacher and goes out of her way to help her students. I have recommended her to many of my friends and family and they have all loved how she treats everyone.

For me Sharon has been the best Yoga teacher that I have had. I would also like to add that one of my cousin from Switzerland and one from Italy, attended one course of Yoga with Sharon and they both loved it. They told me that they miss Sharon’s classes very much.

Darren White

I started practicing Yoga with Sharon in March of 2015 and since that time I have benefited both mentally and physically with her help and guidance. Working with her has deepened my understanding of not only how to perform the various asanas but also why and when to do them.

She was able to take my earlier unstructured practice and turn it into a more precise program which has benefited my tight shoulders and hamstrings in particular.

I would highly recommend either a class or one on one session with Sharon for anyone interested in beginning Yoga or someone who is looking to deepen their understanding and application of the asanas.
