Perhaps her debut was heavily involved in music, arts, and dance, but Sharon Gannon danced her way in to the arms of yoga, to a degree that has expanded into the openness and contribution of her own embrace. An activist, founder of the Jivamukti Yoga Method with partner David Life, amongst her many other talents, Gannon brings joy and happiness in a multitude of forms that hold our universe so dear.

A true inspiration, Gannon discusses her inspirations and influences, and how her journey with yoga began. Having fallen on her back and injured herself, Gannon was advised to practice yoga, and along went David Life. Through the struggles and pain, liberation was attained, and the awareness of a compassionate mind soared through the realms of reality, which has expanded from a method into an every single day practice, a lifestyle in being present.

Sharon discusses vegetarianism, the right fit and unique traits of Jivamukti Yoga, her favorite eats which must include those offered at the Jivamukti Cafe, but also her retreat in the rural parts of Woodstock,NY.
