Gently stretch the deeper connective tissues below the muscles, targeting the pelvis, hips, joints and lower spine. Appropriate for all ages, levels of fitness and flexibility. Perfect for those who desire to restore balance and peace to the mind and body.Yin Yoga is a perfect complement to the dynamic and muscular (yang) styles of yoga that emphasize internal heat, and the lengthening and contracting of our muscles. A slow and contemplative approach to yoga with meditative guidance to release more fully into the pose. It has been called the practice of "awe".

Review of Sharon Hanson, April 03, 2009
Sharon is just the right mix of physical and mental challenge, creativity and flow (and I have been to a LOT of yoga). Her classes are very creative; she does a fantastic job of integrating moves into new sequences and never leaving you bored or unchallenged. I am a total Sharon groupie: my week just isn't the same without her.

I have been a dedicated yogini since 1991 and has been teaching for 13 years. My background includes teacher certification from the International Sivananda Yoga Vedenta Centre, Diane Wilson of Portland Oregon and completion of teacher training with Ana Forrest of California and world-renowned teachers Angela Farmer and Victor Van Kooten.
I design my classes to honor each student and the group as a whole by drawing upon my experience and knowledge of yoga, which is deeply rooted in the Raja tradition—the Eightfold Path. I skillfully choreograph each class with postures to develop core strength, flexibility, and purification for the muscles, skeleton, and visceral body. I incorporate classical breath work to facilitate purification and energy. Most of all, I advocate inward focus and intention to create discipline of the mind, leading to change and empowerment. Om Shanti, Shanti, Shanti, Om Peace, Peace, Peace!
