Sharon Young

Studio Manager and Polestar Pilates CPT

Sharon’s approach to teaching is deeply influenced by her Polestar Pilates education. Polestar’s evidence-based method blends the foundations of classical Pilates with modern biomechanics and rehabilitation principles, training instructors to look beyond simply teaching exercises and instead understand how each individual moves. This training shapes the way Sharon observes movement, adapts exercises, and creates an intentional experience based on each client’s individual needs.

Growing up in a movement-centered family shaped her early understanding of the body, while her own path led her to develop a love for weight lifting, yoga, and Brazilian jiu-jitsu.

After being diagnosed with Hashimoto’s Disease in 2023, Pilates became an important part of Sharon’s wellness routine, helping her manage muscle and joint pain, inflammation, and back pain while calming and supporting her nervous system. Pilates gave her a deeply restorative way to reconnect with her body, build strength, and feel more supported in everyday life. Experiencing these benefits firsthand ultimately inspired her to become an instructor. She was drawn to Joseph Pilates’ vision of whole-body health and wanted to help others discover what mindful movement can do for their own bodies.

Sharon also holds a Plant-Based Medicine Certification from Cornell University, complementing her whole-person approach to health and wellness. She believes Pilates can truly be movement medicine and strives to help each client feel stronger, move with confidence, and develop a deeper understanding of their body.
