PineappleYogi Yoga & Wellness Classes, Programs, & Retreats

I chose a yoga 101 class with hopes for a personalized approach to beginning my journey into yoga and it did not disappoint. She was an endless font of positive reinforcement for my efforts and helped me accept my shortcomings without judgement. I would recommend to anyone looking to start a practice.

I cannot recommend Sharon enough as a trainer. I stared working with her at 4 months postpartum after back to back pregnancies and two c-sections. I was eager to get back into fitness but scared that I would not know my new limits and hurt myself. Sharon build me a customized plan that pushed me but in a way that felt manageable and safe. She helped me rebuild my core and gain overall strength. She is also incredibly kind which makes our sessions that much more enjoyable!

I had a wonderful experience at the Fall reset retreat. It was truly transformative in so many ways.physically, spiritually, emotionally. Sharon has such a lovely and endearing way of guiding, instructing and leading the team. She fosters an environment of sharing and caring (not to sound cheesy) and an overall experience which felt almost magical. I now feel so enlightened and excited for what’s to come because I’m certain that after the great soulful work we all did, amazing things are bound to happen. I couldn’t be happier and can’t wait for the next one. YAY!

Everyone should experience a retreat with Sharon! Her ability to make everyone feel welcome and at ease is unlike any other's! Every detail from the daily schedule, meals, snacks, classes, workshops, etc.is mindfully and meticulously taken care of, yet everyone is able to participate to the extent to which they are comfortable. Sharon creates a warm, loving and supportive environment where strangers become family and lifelong bonds are created.

Sharon has been working with me since December to help me get back to my yoga practice…she is unbelievably encouraging, knowledgeable, supportive, funny, and patient. She is also very creative when it comes to thinking about how to strengthen great square inches of the body to combine to help someone (me!) be successful in doing previously accomplished poses - crow for example. I recommend her wholeheartedly… she is the real deal when it comes to compassion… and the essence of yoga - harmonizing mind and body.

Sharon is an amazing fitness trainer that uses a customized approach. She has great communication skills and is very understanding of your needs. You’ll be stunned at how far you’ve come after just one month. I highly recommend!

I can’t recommend Sharon enough! She is as (if not more) committed to your health goals as you are! She does a wonderful job of meeting you where you are at physically, while giving you homework along the week in order to support your progress. I have never had to worry about injuries with Sharon as she is mindful about how far to push you and will pay close attention to form. Besides being a terrific trainer she is a wonderful person. The best words to describe her are dedicated, responsible, energetic and committed. Again, I can’t recommend enough.

I’ve been training with Sharon for 3+ months and I’m so incredibly grateful I found her. Sharon has completely changed my outlook on working out—I always look forward to our sessions (something I’ve never felt with group classes or gym memberships) and she’s kind, encouraging, and so knowledgeable. My program is completely tailored to my needs and goals and I feel stronger with each session. I highly recommend working with Sharon!

Sharon has been integral to my growth and change over the last many months.

I met her at a time when I was very down, feeling very hopeless about many things in my life. Sharon not only listened to me, but we actively worked on digging deeper to find why I felt the way I did despite years of being very capable and successful.

Sharon introduced me (and reintroduced me) to many coping tools, and with weekly or biweekly calls, kept me on track with ‘homework. ’ We work together on everything from meditation practices, to increasing confidence, and breaking toxic thoughts and patterns.

Working with Sharon has absolutely made me a happier person, in a way no one has been able to help me with before. I will forever be grateful that I met her!

Very knowledgeable, kind and pushes you just right. I have found her to be a great trainer, listener and friend. Definitely the right kind of instruction and support to reach your goals.

I went on this trip unsure what this retreat would be like because I wasn't into yoga and had difficulty getting into a meditation routine. Also, I didn't know anyone. I have to say that the experience was magical. The trip was a beautiful adventure where so many inspirational women surrounded me.
Sharon is the most beautiful soul; she guided us through so many practices until we found our purpose and intentions for the trip/2022/life. Her approach made getting into the practice more accessible.
We also did more than yoga, and we had so much fun, we surfed, went boating, horseback riding, we danced, we sang, bonded and so much more
The location was absolute paradise, and the staff was excellent! The friendships and everything I learned during this trip will last a lifetime, and I can’t wait for The next retreat. Thanks, Sharon!

I had such an incredible experience at the most recent Nicaragua Retreat with Sharon and all of the participants. Sharon is an attentive, responsive and extremely present person which allows her to be a wonderful retreat host. She is a knowledgable yoga teacher and weaves yoga philosophy, breath work, life skills and alignment into all of her classes. I am refreshed and rested and lucky enough to walk away with new friends, experiences and expanders.

Sharon Armstrong has been my personal trainer for over five and a half years. Her help in keeping me fit and active has been invaluable. I am now 87 years old and neither look it nor feel it.

A really great yoga retreat. Well balanced schedule for the day, nicely thought out location and a very fun group to spend the day with. I would definitely go again!

Sharon is a superb personal trainer and yoga instructor. She is incredibly dedicated to her client’s well being and health.

She is very knowledgeable and always creates a new program so that no workout is ever the same. She learns your body’s mechanics and tailors the exercises and yoga appropriately.

Working with Sharon remotely throughout the pandemic has been an absolute pleasure. She is very creative, using various pieces of furniture to substitute gym equipment to ensure a fully body workout.

Sharon brings professionalism to her craft and considers your success and improvement her success.

The yoga retreat was 3 days only, but I felt so relaxed and energized at the same time for weeks after that. We had a wonderful time with amazing girls, were pampered with fantastic food cooked by a private chef, and took care of our body and souls for 3 days in a row! It was a self retreat we all need sometimes to feeling recharged, and to put our thoughts about our lives in order:) Sharon is a wonderful yogi who can make you feel relaxed immediately, and who can communicate with everyone easily. I will make this retreat as a tradition!

I went on a 2 nights yoga retreat lead by Sharon in Connecticut. It was an amazing and rewarding experience. She is a knowledgeable, spiritual and easy to connect with yoga instructor. Her practice is definitely multidisciplinary and will enable you to feel, grow and release. I would recommend Sharon and her retreats to any of my friends. Thank you for the magical weekend!

I had a wonderful time getting to know fierce fellow yogis in the Brooklyn area while also collaborating with a yogi who could lead us down a path of zen. The length of the retreat and the timing was ideal for me. Would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a quick reset.

Wonderful experience - especially noteworthy was the vinyasa practice, the thoughtful schedule of the weekend (including yoga, hiking, meditation) and the FANTASTIC food. Highly recommend.

What a beautiful way to spend a Saturday! The waves and the yoga and the shared community all lead to a deep sense of peace by the end of the day. Sharon leads with a powerful voice while holding space for all the participants.

Sharon's Mobility & Flexibility for Runners class is exactly what I needed to help me get back into running without getting hurt.

Sharon is AMAZING. I am so grateful to social media marketing, because I found her while searching for someone in the NYC area that taught outdoor yoga. I started attending her classes during a really difficult transition in my life and found so much more than a yoga class. I loved the support I received from Sharon and how individualized she seemed to make the class. I always felt like she was aware of all our needs and tried to integrate them into the class.

I went on my first retreat this fall and I loved it! From the beautiful accommodations, the beautiful and nourishing food, and the great classes and workshops. Everything was perfectly planned and thought out. I gained new friends, connected in ways I had not in a long time, and gained some really wonderful insight about myself that I could take home and work on.
I can't wait to go to the next one- an international retreat!

I highly recommend everything about PineappleYogi!

I’ve never done this kind of retreat before but I’m so glad I did. I had no idea what I was getting into but I just loved it! The people I met have really changed my life. Thank you so much guys xo

Sharon is the best! She’s found a way to connect to people in a profound and genuine way, and helps them make yoga more than a practice but an experience. I’ve taken her classes and gone to her retreats and am always humbled by her choice of words, her intentionality in her poses, and how carefully she curates her sessions which shows just how deeply she is committed to her ‘students’. I want PineappleYogi in my life everyday! I promise, you will leave her class feeling strong physically and light mentally. ️

Thank goodness for Pineapple Yogi! Anyone who lives in NYC can attest that it can get brutally and incessantly busy, and so I love that there is an option to take some time to reset for a day in a local location, for an affordable price point. Not only did I get time to listen to my body and release built up tension, but Sharon gave us time to reflect on our mental and emotional health too. This retreat was a perfect compliment to my existing practice, and a healing retreat from the hustle and bustle of everyday city life.

Sharon is a fantastic instructor and leader. She made everyone at the retreat feel comfortable and at ease so that each one of us could get the most out of the weekend. Sharon’s yoga classes were excellent and her planning skills impeccable. I would go on another Pineapple Yogi experience in a heartbeat!
