Last week I found myself in a Yoga retreat there in support of my family. I knew nothing about Yoga and was prepared to give it a go but expected to drop out after a day or so. That did not happen because Sharon was able to guide and encourage a complete novice like me whilst at the same time challenging those who were much more experienced. No one felt cheated and no one felt left out.

During the week I learnt that, for me, Yoga was not really about exercise or bending myself into impossible shapes. It was about self awareness and giving time to yourself. So in learning a little Yoga, I learnt a lot about myself. Four days of twice daily 90 minute sessions was a real challenge for me and I know I would not have completed it without Sharons expertise, approach, good humour and guidance. Sharon and her cooking partner Bongo did a first rate job, professional and enjoyable.

I don’t know where my journey with Yoga will go. I do know that Sharon ensured it did not end when I left. All I can suggest to anyone who hasn’t tried Yoga, is that they do. And if they can, go seek out Sharon and get her to show you how.
