Welcome to Episode #16 of the Wild Yoga Tribe Podcast! This week, I welcome Sharon Brenes onto the show. She is a yoga teacher from Costa Rica, the lead yoga teacher at SoulWork, the Director of the non-profit Shakti Seva, and the founder of Karuna Tribu a yoga venture focused on bringing retreats, trainings, and yoga to Costa Rica.

Sharon is a trauma informed yoga teacher, and we dive into what trauma informed yoga is, as well as some tips and cues yoga teachers can give to hold safe space for their students. As Sharon says, “Trauma informed yoga offers us as teachers and as holders of these transformational spaces, tools to invite people to enjoy their practice.” Also in this episode of the Wild Yoga Tribe podcast, we dive into Sharon’s vision, passion, and mission of making yoga more accessible and inclusive for Latin America Community.

She also poses these powerful questions: "How can I cultivate more love right now? How can I remember who I am from the deepest space with me?"

Our conversation stunned me. Each minute was filled with truth. Trust me, this is a podcast episode you don’t want to miss!

Are you in? Yoga in Costa Rica here we come!
