For over 30 years, Sharon Feanny has helped people build healthier, more vibrant lives through movement, nutrition, and mindful living. Long before wellness was a trend, she was already shaping a new culture of health in Jamaica — founding Shakti Mind Body Fitness, the island’s most influential yoga and wellness studio, and introducing thousands of people to a more intentional way of living.

Her most powerful chapter began with her own unraveling. In 2012, after closing Shakti and moving through major life transitions, Sharon found herself dealing with depression, exhaustion, and burnout — despite decades inside the wellness world. A 40-day detox, cutting out processed food, sugar, caffeine, wheat, and dairy, and returning to restorative yoga and meditation, changed everything. Her digestion healed. Her energy came back. Her mind cleared.

As she moved through her 40s, 50s, and now her 60s, she discovered strength training — and everything shifted again, not just physically but mentally and emotionally. She began studying the real science of aging well: muscle health, hormones, metabolism, nervous system regulation, bone density, inflammation. And she realized the conversation most women were having about midlife was incomplete.

Today, through Live Fit with Sharon Feanny, she blends decades of movement and mindfulness experience with modern longevity science to help women in midlife feel strong, energized, and deeply connected to themselves. Now 61, she is proof that this stage of life isn’t decline — it’s reinvention, built intentionally, one day at a time.

It’s an intimate, quietly luxurious setting for the kind of week that changes how you carry yourself long after you’ve left.
