About Sharon
Hello and welcome! My name is Sharon (Shar) Hills-Bonczyk and my dharma is to give back some of what I’ve experienced practicing yoga for over 35 years. I hope to help others as much as yoga has helped me. Yog has supported me through physical challenges, and has given me greater strength, flexibility, clarity, and the profound joy of deep inner peace. It can do the same for you!
If you are interested in getting stronger, more flexible, increasing your energy level, bringing more balance and calm into your life, sleeping deeply, breathing more easily, or aging gracefully, I would like to help.
I teach all levels of yoga, from beginners who have never done yoga, to advanced practitioners, and those who wish to get back into yoga. I offer a therapeutic approach which supports every body type, age, and can help relieve back, shoulder, wrist or hip issues and other discomforts in the body.
I also offer Ayurveda, the sister science of yoga. Ayurveda is the oldest health care system in the world, based on the ancient Vedic texts of India. Schedule an ayurvedic consultation if you wish to understand your unique constitution and how to balance it. Learn how choice of lifestyle, diet, and daily practices can help maintain optimal health and vitality.
Highly trained, attentive and caring, my style is patient and supportive to students of all skill levels. I aspire to share the richness of yoga with love, encouragement, inspiration and joy. You will always leave feeling better than when you came. That is my promise.

About Steve
Hi! I'm Sharon's husband and a Kripalu yoga teacher too! I work full-time as an airline agent and teach yoga in my spare time. I have been teaching and practicing yoga since about 2010. I became interested in yoga after a series of back injuries that were getting progressively worse. Yoga significantly reduced, if not eliminated, all of my symptoms and made a big difference in the health of my back and overall well-being. You can find me teaching the Wednesday evening class or the Saturday morning class, rotating with others in our family. I also sub for other classes when needed. I enjoy a regular meditation practice, and follow an ayurvedic lifestyle. I lead retreats around the world with the other yoga teachers in our family. We're a yoga teacher family! My life changed after I found yoga. Not only did my physical body feel better, I soon found that living mindfully became an important part of my life. I have a pranayama practice that supports my active lifestyle and meditation that has become the heart and soul of my life.
