Sharon has been practising Yoga since 2000 and teaching since 2004. She is based in Matlock, Derbyshire and teaches regular weekly classes in the area, as well as weekend workshops, retreats and courses and one-to-one private tuition. During the COVID-19 pandemic Sharon has continued to offer classes and retreats online.
Sharon is passionate about her own yoga practice and loves to share her enthusiasm with her students, whether complete beginners or experienced yogis. She strongly believes that yoga is for everyone, not just those who are already fit and supple. She takes great care to find out about injuries, illnesses or any physical limitations of each of her students to ensure that yoga postures are adapted to suit the individual’s needs and ability.
Sharon has been teaching since 2004. She teaches a range of weekly yoga classes, weekend workshops and retreats, both residential weekends in the UK and week-long retreats abroad. These very successful events have been held in Turkey, Morocco, Italy, and Spain.

- BWY Children’s Module, BWY Pranayama module and BWY Philosophy module
- Sarah Powers’ Insight Yoga Institute, Yin Yoga Levels 1 and 2
- Gravotronics Aerial Swing Yoga
- Jivamukti Teacher Training.
