Yoga Therapy

HOW CAN IT HELP?

Unlike a traditional yoga class, where you may feel the pressure to perform, Yoga Therapy meets you exactly where you are. It’s all about you, your body, and honoring where you're at in this moment.

Yoga was created to help ease suffering—whether it’s physical discomfort or the mental weight of stress, worry, and overthinking about the past or future.

Through a combination of unlearning and discovery, Yoga Therapy brings you home to your body and makes that a place you want to be: relaxed, calm and vibrant.

Private Yoga Therapy

Private sessions are just that, private. They allow you the comfort to explore all your questions and concerns, to be heard. Each session is tailored to exactly what you need in the moment: posture correction, recovery, challenging workout or reflective somatic inquiry.

Come as you are; get what you need.

My private session with Sarah is a gift that I give myself each week. Every session is different based on what I feel in my body that week. Sarah really cares and is so smart and I feel lucky to have met her and to have her as my guide.”
