Sharon Carter

Born in Brazil to English parents, Sharon lived in London for 30 years and has now settled once again by the sea, in Brighton. She discovered yoga in 1997 and has been teaching since 2002. She has her own company Yoga Union
With both Iyengar and Scaravelli influences in her practice and a particular interest in anatomy, Sharon doesn’t teach one particular style of yoga, preferring to encourage students to experience and explore movement and postures through the release of tension and the use of the breath.
Sharon teaches her students to listen to their bodies and take their yoga practice into their day to day life: the way they walk, sit, stand, move, to improve habitual patterns of movement and encourage balance and alignment through the body. Classes are accessible to all ages, abilities and experience, and will encourage students to challenge themselves physically and mentally. Sharon liases with clients and students of Natural Bodies and works as the administrator, co-organiser and host during workshops. Additionally she maintains the website and supports Gary in all areas of the business.
