Camp Serenity Yoga and Retreat Center
Sharon Roy is the founder and owner of Camp Serenity®, a local yoga studio in Muskego, Wisconsin. After Roy suffered a debilitating injury in her foot, the lifelong athlete yearned for a way to remain active that did not include high-impact cardio training.![](http://cdn2.locable.com/uploads/resource/file/997400/fill/300x0/Camp_20Serenity_20Founder_20Sharon.jpg?timestamp=1682917559)
What is Iron Lotus?
Iron Lotus® is a mindful, innovative practice to improve the body without being constrained by traditional yoga methodology. In Iron Lotus®, the stretches with hand weights are long and slow, like Yin yoga. Some traditional yoga poses are used in classes, but most are Iron Lotus® exclusives. Cardio, strength training and deep, mindful stretching result in a full body workout.

Many of Roy’s clients, as well as herself, have medical proof of reduced stress, decreased inflammation and improved arthritic pain from this practice. Iron Lotus®’ has also been found to increase range of motion and stimulate the lymphatic system. This practice at Camp Serenity® aims to push clients to their best abilities to improve many aspects of their physical and mental health.
