Group Class Testimonial:

"Because everything is broken down so methodically, even a newbie can feel at home. Moreover, she tailors the poses/movement cues to individual body types, so that everyone can be safe, while getting the intended benefit from the pose.” I was feeling like the Level 2 classes were too intense and repetitive and wanted to experience yoga at a slower pace and with more internal awareness. Sarah helped me to realize that not all cues offered in class are appropriate for every body. She encouraged me to understand and feel what was happening in my body and gave me the tools and empowerment I needed to know how to listen to my inner yogi for guidance. She continues to inspire me to grow in my practice both on and off the mat. Sarah's yoga classes are appropriate for a beginner, a person with physical limitations, and an advanced yoga practitioner alike. Many yoga teachers take Sarah's classes because she teaches anatomy in a very practical way, and uses innovative techniques and sequences to get at subtle aspects of movement and body awareness."

SARAH'S CLASSES
FOCUS ON:
ALIGNMENT:

We don't perform poses; we train the mind to pay attention to our body's movement strategies and choose better, more efficient patterns.

 

THE WHY:

Sarah will explain any cue. Just ask.

ALL LEVELS:

Options. Sarah scales poses (gentle version, Level 1, 2 or 3 version) so you can choose how you want to practice that day. Someone just returning to yoga and a visiting teacher can both have their needs met.

FIND YOUR WAY:

All cues are valid, but not all cues are valid for you. Learn how to discern which ones you need to listen to, and perhaps more importantly, which ones you need to ignore.

PROPS:

Props help us gain access to otherwise inaccessible states of feeling.  The prop is a teacher, not a crutch.

ANATOMY:

Learn to feel which parts of your body are working and which parts are dormant. Access your true range of motion and learn which sensations are telling you to stabilize.
