Our Teachers
Sharon Elias
Sharon’s experience with Yoga began in the late 90’s where she was fortunate enough to discover inspirational teachers whose authentic and heartfelt teachings encouraged her on a pathway of committed practice, and eventual study and teaching of this wonderful ancient science for living life well.
Sharon is a certified Hatha Yoga teacher, Level 2 Member and NSW Representative of the Yoga Teachers Association of Australia (YTAA), and a member of the International Yoga Teachers Association (IYTA). She holds additional qualifications in Remedial Massage Therapy and a Certificate IV Training and Assessment.
She has also completed extensive additional studies with the Krishnamacharya Yoga Mandiram based in Chennai, India - where world renowned teacher Sri TKV Desikachar, his family and senior teachers, advocate and teach the Viniyoga approach - in which each person is recognised as unique individual and the Yoga adapted to suit the individual's needs and abilities.
Sharon is committed to making the practice of Yoga available to all individuals - regardless of age, state of health, ability and special needs.
Prior to teaching Yoga, Sharon spent several years working in corporate Sydney/Melbourne so fully understands the nature and stressors of this environment. She has a special interest in teaching Yoga as a stress management tool, as Yoga has so much to offer in counteracting the effects of existing stress and building inner reserves to better manage any future stressful situations.
The following quote from TKV Desikachar is what inspires Sharon’s continued commitment to studies, personal practice and teaching of Yoga:
"The mastery of Yoga must not be measured simply by the ability to master the techniques of Yoga like asana and pranayama, but how it influences our day to day living, how it enhances our relationships and how it promotes clarity and peace of mind".
