About the instructor: Sharon Barto Gouran

Sharon Barto Gouran has been practicing yoga since 2003, and teaching since 2011. Having begun practicing with primarily physical motives, she soon discovered a much deeper connection between the mind, body and spirit through breath. The sense of peace beginning to carry over from the mat into daily life was impossible to ignore. After moving to Seattle in 2007, Sharon stumbled 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. She does this all with a gentle sense of humor.

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 as a freelance actor as well as nonprofit professional.
