Meet All Teachers

Sarah has been practicing steadily for 10 years and is a fantastic yoga teacher.  She enjoys the freedom of practicing on the beach, in a grassy field or in indoor studio space.  The daily practice of Asana and integration of meditation has profoundly changed her life.  Yoga has influenced her diet, lifestyle and career.  She has taken her Thai Yoga Massage training in Thailand at the Asokananda School and Toronto School Of Thai Massage.  The most recent training in April 2018 of Yoga Tune Up has reshaped the way she sees movement and how she teaches.

“Life is not about finding yourself, it’s about creating yourself.” This mantra rings true for me.  My wellness journey has been and continues to be a lot of trial and error, exploration and seeking out the right support/resources. It started in college when a dear friend introduced me to yoga as an alternative to the daily wear and tear I was doing to my body through competitive sports and leading an active lifestyle.  I was instantly hooked, and eventually went on to complete my teacher training at Yogaworks in NYC.

~~Sarah Pomaro found yoga just in time to save herself from her too-busy schedule: working full-time, going to school for her MBA, and trying to keep up a home, she barely found time to take care of herself. Yoga helped her quiet the nonstop chatter that ran through her head, and ultimately led her to a new life path.

Shari is a Yogi and a Scientist. It's her passion for the practice of yoga which fuels her desire to teach. She has direct experience of healing and the significant transformation yoga offers & specifically the increase in strength and joint mobility Yoga Tune Up(R) provides.  You will be presented with instruction firmly rooted through her education in Kinesiology. The study of human movement. as well as her vast athletic, energetic and Yogic understanding.  She has 30 years of teaching and practice experience, Shari knows yoga!

My teaching path began in 1993 in Halifax Nova Scotia as a personal trainer. When our family relocated to Dubai, I began to develop my hatha yoga practice, which lead to teaching opportunities from 2006 onward. We relocated back to Ottawa Ontario where I had the honor of teaching within the Beyond Yoga Studio and Blue Bamboo community from 2011-2015.  One more move has landed me in Kelowna BC in 2015 looking for a yoga community that craves mindful yoga.
