I’m Sharon Mortimer, a yoga instructor running Believe & Achieve Yoga classes at the Lion Gym in Greengates, as well as online.
I’m passionate about helping people reach their full potential—both mentally and physically. I started Believe & Achieve Yoga in 2016 with a simple ethos: everyone works to their full potential, at their own pace, and without judgement.
Over the years, I’ve supported people through all stages of life—from expectant mums right up to the week before giving birth, to those recovering from injury or simply looking to build confidence. You’re never too old, too young, too unfit or too big to begin yoga—it truly offers something for everyone.
My classes are fun and light-hearted. We stretch, improve posture, build strength, and share plenty of laughs along the way.
Outside of yoga, I work full-time as a psychotherapist. This gives me a unique perspective, and I often bring elements of meditation and relaxation into our sessions, alongside different styles of yoga. I’m incredibly proud of the progress our yogis make—especially in areas like flexibility, focus, and emotional wellbeing.
We also welcome athletes and sports enthusiasts who want to improve their mobility and learn how to calm the mind under pressure.
Outside of work, I love walking—especially with alpacas and llamas—spending time with animals, cooking, being around people, and getting away to the sea, countryside or a relaxing spa.
