Sharon Starika has a deep passion for running, having been a competitive triathlete for more than 20 years. After a debilitating accident with a semi-truck two decades ago, Sharon’s doctors gave her little hope of ever running again since she had undergone nine surgeries on her left side. Through practicing the Feldenkrais Method she was able to heal herself, run, and compete again.

From Sharon’s remarkable recovery, she found her passion for movement and realized that she wanted to teach others to move with greater ease, comfort, less pain, and to live fuller lives with movement. Movement includes running, skiing, cycling, hiking, or just getting out of a chair. For Sharon, as her mentor and life-time teacher Moshe Feldenkrais said, “Movement is life!”

Sharon is a Guild Feldenkrais Practitioner, with her private practice based in Park City.  She also teaches classes and clinics around the country and offers instructional online classes, local clinics and workshops. Her clients repeatedly comment on the inspiration she offers, and the self-empowerment the Feldenkrais Method gives.
