Sharon Marino is a 200-hour Registered Yoga Teacher and Social Emotional Learning Facilitator (SEL) with Yoga Alliance. She has been an athlete her entire life and started practicing yoga in 2010 when, due to injuries, she realized she needed to be kinder to her physical body. Sharon quickly learned that yoga is much more than the physical “asana” practice and the benefits to the mind, heart, and spirit in many ways outweighed the physical practice. In 2022, Sharon completed her 200-hour YTT with Breathe for Change, whose mission is to support and train educators in wellness, social emotional learning, and yoga to drive social change and healing.

As a former principal and educator in Philadelphia for over 20 years, Sharon believes in empowering teachers, staff, families, and students as leaders, partnering with communities to create change, and that it is our collective responsibility “to advocate for opportunity and access for all.” Yoga Home’’s 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” is what drew Sharon to want to be a part of the team. She has been practicing with Yoga Home since its inception and has served as a member of our Work Exchange Team. Sharon serves as an educational coach and consultant through her LLC, Marigold, is a member of her local school board and other organizations committed to ensuring equitable opportunities, and is continuing with her 300-hour YTT.

She lives in Conshohocken with her husband Mike, loves to travel, be outside, learn new things, and is excited to join the Yoga Home team!
