Bio

Sharre is currently undergoing a three year training program with Zhander Remete (formerly Shandor Remete) founder of the Shadow School of Yoga. Having begun yoga at the age of six, Zhander studied extensively in the Krishnamacharya lineage (ie: Iyenger, Jois) and beyond.

Shadow Yoga integrates principles of sacred dance, martial arts and healing practices of India (Ayurveda, Siddha medicine, and Marma Sthana) with traditional Hatha Yoga. This blend creates a practice which powerfully releases blockages in the body and stimulates the flow of vital energies needed to create the Samadhi state.
