Sharon Tesauro

I have always been physically active and enjoyed sports as a child. Naturally, I gravitated towards physical activity in my education. I obtained my B.A. in Exercise Science in 2013. An elective I had to take for my degree was Yoga. At the time, my work-out regimen focused more on cardio and strength training. I did not feel I really connected to my practice during the elective classes that semester. It felt slower than my usual workouts and was not what I was used to. As life went on over the next few years, I began noticing my workouts did not cut down on the daily stress I carried around with me. Then someone asked me one day “Sharon, how do you relax”? I did not have an answer to that question as my life at the time always felt I was on auto pilot. I decided to make more time for myself. I ended up taking a Community Class one Friday night through Open Doors with a friend, so we could catch up. After class I felt amazing! I felt different than I did after my other workouts. Not just physically but mentally. I began to implement classes into my regular routine. More recently over the past 3years yoga became a way for me to put myself “back together” after a long week. I began to invite friends to join me and share in how great it felt to be present in the moment. I began to think I should obtain my certification and teach Yoga. I enrolled in the 200hr RYT through Open Doors in 2019 and have just begun my journey as an Instructor so I can share my passion and the many benefits of Yoga with others.
