Sharon Marino is a RYT® 500 and Social Emotional Learning Facilitator (SEL) with Yoga Alliance. A lifelong athlete, Sharon began her yoga journey in 2010 after realizing that her body needed kinder treatment due to injuries. She quickly discovered that yoga extends far beyond the physical “asana” practice, offering profound benefits to the mind, heart, and spirit that often outweigh the physical gains. In 2022, Sharon completed her 200-hour YTT with Breathe for Change, an organization dedicated to training educators in wellness, social emotional learning, and yoga to drive social change and healing. In January 2024, she proudly completed her 300-hour training.

With over 20 years of experience as a principal and educator in Philadelphia, Sharon is passionate about empowering teachers, staff, families, and students as leaders, and partnering with communities to create positive change. She believes in our collective responsibility to advocate for opportunity and access for all.

Sharon was drawn to Yoga Home for its mission “to educate and empower individuals through the art and science of yoga, engage in sustainable community outreach, and support the spiritual growth and evolution of all our members.” She has been practicing with Yoga Home since its inception and has been an active member of the Work Exchange Team.

In addition to her work with Yoga Home, Sharon is an educational coach and consultant through her LLC, Marigold. She serves on her local school board and participates in various organizations committed to ensuring equitable opportunities for all.

Living in Conshohocken with her husband Mike, Sharon loves to travel, be outdoors, and continuously learn new things. She is thrilled to join the Yoga Home team and bring her extensive experience and positive energy to the community!
