Hello my name is Noel Sharpe. Welcome to my Yoga-Durham website.
This website is intended to give you some information about me and the type of yoga that I teach. You will find what I consider Yoga to be and how it might benefit you. You will also find details of the yoga classes I am currently running in and around Durham City.
Apart from holding a BWY Yoga Teachers Diploma, I hold a level two diploma in Thai Yoga Massage, accredited by the Federation of Holistic Therapists. I have also trained in and studied Myofascial Release techniques. I no longer offer massage but the training continues to inform my yoga teaching.
On this website you will find details regarding Durham Yoga Group with which I am involved. From January 2013 Durham Yoga Group has been holding regular monthly yoga sessions on Saturday mornings, formerly at at Witton Gilbert, we moved to Belmont Parish Hall near Durham City in March 2022. Our intention is to promote yoga in the Durham area. The programme is organised to widen the group’s understanding of yoga by introducing teachers from different yoga backgrounds.
In January 2026 a fellow yoga teacher, Joanne Appleby, joined me in teaching her own classes at Laxey Cottage at Shincliffe. I have added details of Joanne to this website and added her to the regular classes and booking site.
I really hope you find the site useful and that you will be encouraged to come along and let me share my passion for Yoga with you. If there is anything that you aren’t sure about or if you have any queries please do contact me. I look forward to hearing from you.
Namaste
