Yoga Retreat with VICTORIA SHARP

“ONCE I FELL IN LOVE WITH YOGA, I LEARNED HOW TO FALL IN LOVE WITH MYSELF”

Victoria’s entire life has been full of movement.  At a young age she was always singing, dancing and acting.  She fell in love with performing and sharing her knowledge with others.  After many years of being a competitive dancer, she turned her passion into a career.  She was blessed with many opportunities in the dance world and taught competitive dance and choreographed for twenty years.

Just like so many others, even though she loved her job, her life felt chaotic.  The stress was becoming unbearable, although she was unaware of it at the time. Something was missing.  Then, in walked yoga.  She had taken yin yoga classes for many years, however, she never really felt a connection with the movement.  Then one Saturday she took her first Vinyasa Flow.  She had no idea that yoga poses could be so beautiful and strong.  This was the missing puzzle piece!

Victoria became obsessed with the physical practice, and became a studio rat, trying to get in as many classes as she could. Within a year her whole life had transformed.  Not only had she seen amazing changes in her physical body, Victoria had become more grounded and clear on the next part of her life journey.

She decided it was time to make big changes in her life and this meant saying goodbye to her career as a dance educator and shifting into the role of a yoga teacher.

Over the next five years Victoria took advantage of as many learning opportunities as she could.  In June 2019 she travelled to Thailand to immerse herself in the Bryce YTT and received her 200hr RYT.  Since then, Victoria has spent countless hours on her movement practice, including completing her 500hr YTT, Aerial Yoga Instructor and becoming a Functional Range Conditioning Movement Specialist. She is the founder of Strong With Nature Yoga, which offers online yoga and mobility training, as well as in-person 1:1 movement training, classes and workshops.  She loves travelling to other cities to share her knowledge and she is honoured to have the opportunity to guide others through their movement journey.

Victoria wants to create a community where she can share her experiences and learn from others.  She aims to create a judgement free learning space where others can find their own path through yoga and movement.  Victoria wants to encourage all of her students to explore what’s possible in their bodies and minds.

Victoria can’t wait to be a part of your journey!
