"I have been dealing with serious back issues for a number of years. The most recent re-injury involved my spinal cord and caused significant loss of function, loss of feeling, and pain in my lower body. Before seeing Sharyl, I had accepted a drastically reduced quality of life day-to-day and had accepted the fact that I would need to take pain medication for the rest of my life. I had also accepted that I may never be able to do some things again or to enjoy normal physical activity.

Yoga therapy treatment has been life changing! Working with Sharyl has been an amazing experience and has allowed me to enjoy a higher quality of life than with any other treatment I have tried! I am dramatically improved and have a well-aligned athletic body. I am actually able to run again! I never thought this would be possible.

I would highly recommend Sharyl to anyone looking for help in healing from an injury or just looking to be better aligned in their body."

—Darren, Actor

"I initially went to see Sharyl because I had back pain, shoulder pain, and wrist pain from diving into a yoga practice without much bodily awareness. At that point, I was in a predicament: I loved how yoga allowed me to cope with stress, but it couldn’t be sustainable if I kept on hurting myself!

Being in pain, I was naturally drawn to Sharyl's gentler yoga classes. I didn't initially anticipate taking private yoga therapy sessions with her, but I am grateful that I did.

Within a few private sessions, my bodily pain was alleviated.

Sharyl naturally has a caring and graceful presence and is incredibly passionate about yoga and yoga therapy, so I trusted her. Because she genuinely gave me her undivided attention, I felt safe enough to share how I was doing whenever we started a session together. Depending on how I was ‘holding onto tension in life’ I was able to witness how that affected my physical body. I began to learn how to read my body which inherently signals how my inner self is ‘holding up.’ Witnessing this challenged me to become more in tune with ‘who I am’ at various levels of my life.

Sometimes I can't see how far I've come until someone from my past points out how calm I have become.

Because I witnessed how it feels to be in my body throughout Sharyl’s sessions, whenever I am out of whack, I trust that I have sufficiently adopted the life skills and awareness to get back to that calm place whenever I choose to. No matter where I go, I will always credit Sharyl with providing me the practical techniques to get myself grounded again. Thanks Sharyl!”

Private Yoga Therapy Programs

All programs are designed on an individual basis so that we can move you forward in the most effective way.

The following are examples of what a program could look like for you:

Unwinding the Patterns of Stress — 12 Week Program

Human beings respond to stress or threat in very predictable ways. These responses are part of the fight/flight/freeze responses of our nervous system. One side of our body is set as ready to fight or run and the other side is set to slow you down. Often with movement we try to restore balance to our system by doing the same movement on each side, and when we are experiencing a lot of stress, this symmetrical movement often just makes the differences more apparent. What is sometimes needed is to restore balance through assymmetrical movement, giving one side of the body what it needs and the other what it needs. Think about a barbie doll with one arm up overhead, one bent backward and one leg bent and one leg straight and twisted - in order to bring that doll back to a symmetrical posture you would need to move all of those limbs in different ways. What I am talking about is a little like that.

In this unique program, we will meet twice a month for a private session and then a series of short, easy to follow instructional videos will be made available so that you can practice and master the healing movements taught in each module. Starting from the ground up, you will learn improve your body’s movement capabilities and counter the very predictable impact that stress has on your nervous system. The results will allow you to gain connection and function for any activities you love - right from running through to gardening. Unwind your tension patterns and get back to joy!
