Yoga Classes and Gong therapy in Worcestershire
My name is Sharon Gisbourne and I offer meditation, gong therapy and yoga classes. I am based in Redditch, Worcestershire. Yoga is an ancient set of practices designed to bring your body, mind and energy in to balance. It has a number of benefits including (but not limited to) pain relief, increased strength and an increased sense of well-being.
I have over 20 years of experience teaching yoga and can teach all age ranges including beginners and experienced practitioners. I am passionate about yoga but like to emphasise that yoga is a joyful activity. You will be able to learn and practise yoga in a warm and fun environment where you can feel at ease, whether you are learning in a group or 1:1.

About Sharon Gisbourne Yoga
I have practised yoga for over two decades and was totally hooked after my very first class. It was a complete revelation! I walked out of that class like I had woken up and seen things clearly for the first time. My whole body felt free, I was relaxed and could not get over how great I felt.
I remember going to work the next day and telling a colleague that I felt "big" (in a good way). This feeling was my energy being released to flourish from whatever trapped state it had been in. My passion for yoga grew as did my personal well-being, and in 2005 when I was given an opportunity to teach, I jumped at the chance.
I completed my yoga teacher training with The Devon School of Yoga and then went on to qualify as a Yoga Therapist, certified by Real Yoga, in 2012. I am also a Meditation Teacher, having completed my training with Swami Saradananda.
I have attended many short courses and workshops with Yoga Campus, London. These courses have been based around many aspects of yoga, the musculoskeletal system and the "correction" of bodily imbalances, which may be prominent due to general wear and tear or injury. I have also completed courses on restorative and relaxation practices, Pranayama and the history of yoga as well as a short Sanskrit course!
I teach classes online and in person, and also offer in person or online one or two to one sessions at Sharon Gisbourne Yoga. I also run a specialist online chair based class for those who may need a more adapted approach to yoga. Working therapeutically with people one to one online may not be suitable for all conditions, but if you would like further details see the Yoga Therapy page for more details.
I have experience of many styles of yoga and have spent time in India to gain knowledge of these various approaches. I like to apply myself with a holistic and eclectic approach that takes in not only the physical but also the more subtle aspects that yoga has to offer. However, although I always present myself as professionally as possible, I do like to keep everything light hearted and have fun at the same time.
I have completed my training with Sheila Whittaker and I am now offering sound therapy in the form of gong baths. These are offered as private sessions and I also run group sessions. See the treatments page for further details of how to book.
