About Yen Yoga |
About Sharon
In 2002 I opened my postbox to receive an invitation to a free yoga class at a new studio opening around the corner. I dialled the number and booked a date with my downward dogging destiny.
My first class revealed yoga could offer everything I was looking for – get fit, lose weight, heal the body and meet like-minded people. It was love at first sun salute.
For what began as a wake-up call to myself, became inspiration to share the experience with others. My weekly date turned into a life-long commitment and in 2005 I began sharing my love of yoga with the world.
I embarked on a global adventure, training with Prana Vinyasa teacher, Ian Laver and yoga master, Baron Baptiste. It was the start of my teaching journey.
My classes invite you to experience Prana Flow Yoga: an energetic, creative, full-spectrum approach to embodying the flow of yoga, cultivated and inspired by my Prana Flow teachers Shiva Rea and Twee Merrigan. My meditation and contemplation practices are drawn from the teachings and inspiration of Sally Kempton and Lorin Roche.
Students of all levels are empowered to experience Prana - the universal source of breath, life-energy and conscious intelligence - as the navigating source of yoga practice and vital living.
Drawing inspiration from my life, travels, nature, art, philosophy, media, music, movement, and meditation, I share and teach Prana Flow yoga across Brisbane through group classes and personal sessions.
| About Yoga
There are many styles of yoga to practice but all will help you unwind and remind you to look right into the present for inspiration. It is amazing how well your mind works when you are awake, aware and mindful.
Yoga makes you more conscious of your body and, in turn, more conscious of things and those that surround you.
Originating in India, yoga awakens your senses and transforms your body. Everyone will experience a different personal pathway, but I believe yoga has a positive impact on everyone who practices.
I practice and teach Prana Flow Yoga.
Prana Flow Yoga
A flow yoga class is a breath-inspired journey that offers a spectrum of rhythms from meditative and rejuvenating to challenging and empowering.
Beginning with the inner and outer melody of breath and music we experience ‘vinyasa’ as a wave, linking breath and rhythm from one movement to the next; a reflection of how we fine-tune our connection to where we are in the moment and the evolution into the next.
Balanced and creative sequencing that integrate the whole body include standing poses, arm balances, twists, hip openers, forwards bends, back bends and inversions, to help create a whole body exploration of alignment, strength, fluidity, vitality and connection.
Contemplation, visualization and deep relaxation complete the flow of our practice. |
Frequently Asked Questions |
What is Yoga?
Yoga is an ancient, self-empowering practice that utilises a wide range of tools to enhance wellbeing and to maintain and restore health and vitality. You may find the practice helps to cultivate awareness, lift your mood and improve your state of mind. Yoga is an integrated approach to personal growth and development.
Why practise Yoga? What are the Benefits?
- Yoga is NOT just for athletes, celebrities and supermodels! Yoga is available to everyone, irrespective of age, stage of life, gender, ability, belief system and cultural background
- Even if you’re facing challenges in your life, it’s easy to get started and you will experience the instant benefits
- Yoga helps you breathe fully, deeply and easily. It improves your posture, flexibility and well-being
- Yoga supports the functions of all the body systems, working your cardiovascular, nervous, lymphatic, endocrine, immune, digestive, reproductive, muscular and skeletal systems
- Yoga requires no fancy clothes and equipment. While a few props can make it more comfortable the only thing you really need to do yoga is you!
- Oh… and did I mention that Yoga is FUN!
| Are the classes for beginners or experienced practitioners?
They are suitable for everyone. There is no hierarchy between the variations of each pose (or asana). Through the stages of progression, the classes are sequenced around the function and energy of the pose, allowing every student to find their own development that is appropriate for them in relation to the flow of life.
BUT … I am really tight and not flexible!
Come with a flexible mind. You don't need to be physically flexible. All you need is to let go, breathe, move and respect your limitations.
What if I have not exercised in a long time?
Before starting any form of exercise after a long break, it is advised that you contact your health advocate/GP for advice before participating.
How often should I practise Yoga?
Ideally on a daily basis but you will still see the benefits even when you practice on a casual basis. |
