sharon gisbourne yoga
I have practised yoga for over two decades and was totally hooked after my very
first class. It was a complete revelation! I walked out of that class like I had
woken up and seen things clearly for the first time. My whole body felt free, I
was relaxed and could not get over how great I felt. I remember going to work
the next day and telling a colleague that I felt "big" (in a good way). This
feeling was my energy being released to flourish from whatever trapped state it
had been in. My passion for yoga grew as did my personal well-being, and in 2005
when I was given an opportunity to teach, I jumped at the chance. I completed my
yoga teacher training with The Devon School of Yoga and then went on to qualify
as a Yoga Therapist, certified by Real Yoga, in 2012. I am registered with the
Complimentary and Natural Health Care Council (CNHC). I am also a Meditation
Teacher, having completed my training with Swami Saradananda. I have attended
many short courses and workshops with Yoga Campus, London. These courses have
been based around many aspects of yoga, the musculoskeletal system and the
"correction" of bodily imbalances, which may be prominent due to general wear
and tear or injury. I have also completed courses on restorative and relaxation
practices, Pranayama and the history of yoga as well as a short Sanskrit course!
I teach several general classes online via Zoom and offer in person or online
one or two to one sessions at Sharon Gisbourne Yoga. I also run a specialist
online chair based class for those who may need a more adapted approach to yoga.
Working therapeutically with people one to one online may not be suitable for
all conditions, but if you would like further details see the Yoga Therapy page
for more details. I have experience of many styles of yoga and have spent time
in India to gain knowledge of these various approaches. I like to apply myself
with a holistic and eclectic approach that takes in not only the physical but
also the more subtle aspects that yoga has to offer. However, although I always
present myself as professionally as possible, I do like to keep everything light
hearted and have fun at the same time. I have completed my training with Sheila
Whittaker and I am now offering sound therapy in the form of gong baths. These
are offered as private sessions and I also run group sessions. See the
treatments page for further details of how to book.
