Sharon Barto is honored and excited to be teaching at Yogalife. She discovered yoga in 2003, and it’s been a part of her life ever since. Having begun practicing with primarily physical motives, she soon discovered a greater sense of peace that was beginning to carry over from the mat into daily life. After moving to Seattle in 2007, Sharon stumbled upon Yogalife as a student and would continue to complete the 200 Hour Teacher Training with the studio.
Sharon encourages both creativity and mindfulness in her classes. Acknowledging that yoga is a life-long journey, she emphasizes honoring the body for where it is in this present moment. Through a mixture of both dynamic and nurturing asana, she encourages a gradual opening of the body and quieting of the mind by honoring and expanding the breath.
Sharon is a native of Sun Valley, Idaho and holds a Bachelors degree in Theatre and English from Willamette University. Outside of the studio, she works at Seattle Repertory Theatre, and is a freelance actor with various theatre companies in Seattle.
