"I LOVED the workshop
yesterday on so many levels. You are an absolutely beautiful teacher - your
pace, your eloquent way of communicating, your knowledge - combined with
your tangible passion for yoga made it a truly enjoyable, sacred
experience." Wendy Eyton
“My experience of Sharon is that
she shares with joy and effervescence her deep understanding of the
practice and teachings of yoga. I have yet to experience a teacher
who exudes as much genuine care and compassion for students as does
Sharon. It is truly a gift to participate in her classes.”

"I accepted that the lovely
compliment you gave last evening about my body awareness and what I
should have done was to give it back to you. I really feel that your
classes and your style of teaching work so wonderfully for how I now
feel about my body. Your instructions are so clear and so logical.
Your lessons about anatomy are great and so useful for putting
everything in perspective. I often wish I could record your classes
so I could have you at home with me in between classes. (Maybe you
could make tapes and sell them??) I have taken many classes in so
many different physical disciplines over the years but yours have
really made a big difference.Many thanks for such a wonderful way to
spend Wednesday evening." J. Chase
A pathetic UN-spiritual uber-guy engineer who casts an awful spine x-ray image with baggage from a few previous
yoga teachers says:
"I have to do yoga: I have no choice because if I didn't I'd lock up solid.... but I do have a choice as to who leads me in Yoga - and I
choose Sharon. Sharon is professional, attentive & knowledgeable, but more than that she is wonderfully warm and enthusiastic. Sharon has earned my trust and my yoga sessions are the much more effective for it.” She's also gorgeous and
funny." Has-been jock with spinal issues.
"Through her talent and experience Sharon creates a unique blend: Of head and heart; Of the scientific and the spiritual; Of exertion and relaxation… I couldn’t
live without it." JB ~ CEO
"Yoga at Shaughnessy?.....marvelous! Instructor Sharon Abbondanza?.....fabulous!
Learn to stretch, push, pull, elongate, shorten, inflate, deflate, and contort every molecule in your body and end up the hour feeling you've had a massage."
Brenda O
"Yoga at Shaughnessy is a WONDERFUL complement to the club's golf and tennis programs. Our 'yogi' Sharon leads us through a series of poses and stretches which are
fabulously beneficial both for our tummies and our inner spirits. She sends us off into our day feeling very relaxed and de-stressed! I'm particularly
impressed with her ability to lead all levels of participants through the program!"
Holly Horwood
"I joined Sharon's class in the fall of 2004 and I have noticed a great difference in my flexibility and agility. In our twice weekly classes I have learned to
consciously think about my posture, breathing and movement. This has translated to a better shoulder rotation in my golf swing and I have learned not to let my body rush my mind - at least some of the time."
Anon aka Allison
"I wanted to let you know how much I enjoy my weekly yoga session at the club. The ninety minutes seem very short. I know that I have appreciated the increased
flexibility that the classes have provided me; the breathing techniques are taking a little longer to learn!! In particular, I appreciate your ability to make the classes very personal notwithstanding their popularity which has meant a
steady 20+ attendance." Rohays
"I have been taking private classes with Sharon at my home for several years, and she is absolutely, hands down, the finest yoga instructor I have ever worked
with. I cannot possibly say enough good things about her, and I highly recommend her services as an instructor to anyone interested in studying yoga. One
of the best things about her classes is her attention to detail in constructing the yoga flows, and her keen insights on the safety of the practice--something which is critical, yet all too often overlooked in many yoga classes. Another
great thing about Sharon is that her vast experience, combined with her very caring manner and enthusiasm for teaching, comes through consistently in every lesson. Her classes are also quite interesting as they vary each time according
to Sharon's sense of creativity in designing yoga flows and the needs of the individual student with whom she is working. Along with her substantial talent
for yoga and teaching, Sharon's affable and warm-hearted nature makes her a pleasure to work with on a regular basis. My yoga practice has evolved a great deal since I began taking lessons with her, and my abilities and strength have
developed very quickly under her tutelage. In my opinion, any student of yoga at any level would undoubtedly benefit from Sharon's classes."
