Sharon Young

Studio Manager, Balanced Body Instructor

As both an instructor-in-training and Studio Manager, Sharon is often the first smile you’ll see at Raleigh Pilates. She is expected to complete Polestar Pilates Comprehensive Training in May 2026. You can expect her teaching style to emphasize alignment, mindfulness, and cultivating strength that supports balance both in the studio and in everyday life. Her movement background includes weight lifting, Brazilian jiu-jitsu, and yoga, and it was during a season of illness and injury that she discovered Pilates. After private sessions and group classes she realized Pilates was more than just exercise; it was a path to restore, realign, and reconnect with her body. Experiencing the pain and inflammation relief Pilates brought into her life fuels her passion to help others uncover the transformative power of movement. She believes Pilates is truly movement medicine, a practice that integrates mind, body, and spirit. In addition, Sharon holds a Plant-Based Medicine Certification from Cornell University, which grounds her in holistic wellness and helps supports her ability to be present and hold space for each client she meets. She looks forward to welcoming you to the studio and being part of your Pilates journey.
