About Sarah

Growing up in Massachusetts, I came to yoga in the mid 00s looking for a way to relax and get out of my head. Though my practice has changed in many ways, I still carry movements and wisdom from those first few classes.

Yoga has supported me through many seasons of life and I consider myself a forever-student and constant explorer. I cannot express enough gratitude for the gifts of peace, playfulness, and reflection I’ve received as a result.

About Teaching
My goal is to provide you with an opportunity to approach your body and mind with curiosity, enjoyment, and a spirit of self-discovery. Curiosity and enjoyment are supported by safety and the ability to make decisions for yourself. When given the freedom to grow at your own pace, self-discovery follows.

I provide instruction in a way that acknowledges that no one knows your body or your experience better than you do. Together we can find ways to experience lightness, strength, ease, and focus.

Yoga and meditation can be explored casually or in a committed practice. I believe their benefits are available to anyone seeking them. My own decades-long practice has provided me with a stronger mind/body relationship, a greater capacity for presence and contentment, and a fun way to shake off the stress of daily life!

About Method
I enjoy playing between labels to develop practices that meet the moment. I primarily draw upon hatha, gentle vinyasa, yin, and restorative practices. Props and modifications are often used to support both movement and rest.

My practice has been informed by a great number of philosophies and schools including embodied cognition, somatic movement, the work of Suniti Dernovsek, Body-Mind Centering®, Total Yoga Nidra as conceived by  Uma Dinsmore Tuli, the writings of T. K. V. Desikachar, Judith Lasater’s restorative yoga work, the teachings of Swami Tadatmananda, the Tao Te Ching, the priciples of Health at Every Size®, and so many more.
