Sharone Mendes Nassi
Instructor
My favorite thing about Yoga is how successfully it blends ancient healing arts with modern life challenges, mixes East and West philosophies, physical and mental activities, powerful and gentle energies, to provide a lifelong practice working towards balance and viability of mind, body and soul. My teaching of yoga is intended as a guide to a personalized physical and mental holistic practice on and off the mat.
My first class as a teenager kicked off my lifetime pursuit of yoga. Practicing and teaching various yoga styles with teachers, masters, and Gurus in India, in the US and around the world. Blending styles of Yoga from traditional to westernized into a varied style that addresses our daily personalized needs. My pillars of practice are correct alignment, mindful breath, postural integration, sustainability and traditional wisdom as the evolution of yoga in modern life
