MEET SHARI
More than stretching.
Shari Augustine came to yoga in 2012 as a way to complement a dance career. Having never taken a yoga class, she signed up for a self-paced yoga certification with KC Fitness Link, thinking it couldn’t be that hard. It’s only stretching.
Upon signing up for the teacher training, she decided to take her first yoga class. She found a yoga studio offering a new student introductory special for 2 weeks of unlimited yoga. After immersing herself in yoga, 27 hours and 20 classes later, she had a profound realization that yoga was so much more. She has had an ongoing study and practice of yoga ever since.
Shari finished 200-hour yoga certification in 2013 and registered with Yoga Alliance in 2014. She has taught yoga to all ages, as well as adult special needs students. The youngest students being elementary-age children and the oldest current student is 87. Yoga is for all ages and all capabilities.
BEYOND THE MAT
The joy of dance.
Dance was Shari’s first connection to movement—and the reason she first explored yoga. That love remains part of her story: expression on the dance floor, curiosity on the mat, and the pleasure of continuing to learn.
You don’t need a dance background or an advanced pose to begin. Come as you are, and let your practice grow at your own pace.
