For me, yoga is a way of connecting deeper with the wisdom that already resides in the body. Coming into stillness and uniting with the breath are tools to help us become more present and less focused on the past and future. From the traditional poses of hatha yoga, to the more transcendental yin, yoga helps us to unite the mind and body.
Practicing the asanas has many health benefits: it helps with focus, builds flexibility, improves posture, lowers blood pressure, helps with depression, calms the nervous system, and lots more. It also works on the energy body, helping the prana (life force energy) to move more freely in our bodies, helping us to naturally heal (physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually).
​
The classes I offer are aimed at beginners (we’re all beginners right?!) with some options of going deeper into the poses if you want to. There’s no expectation to do anything and you can lie on your mat and snooze if you’d rather! I also like to offer a more restorative option with regards to yoga than the fancy pants gym one. Having said that, sometimes it can be challenging…that’s all part of it.

​
Sound Bath - A sound bath is a gentle, yet powerful experience for the mind and body. The session starts with each person lying down often with a blanket and an eye mask. After a few minutes of guided focus on the breath, the remainder of the experience is filled with different sounds and frequencies being introduced in succession. As these resonate within the body, the brain waves slow down, shifting from a more active state to a deeper relaxed one. The sounds in a sound bath are an invitation into a deeper state of consciousness; an opportunity to unplug from external stimuli and to gain perspective into what’s going on within you. Everyone experiences sound differently but the goal of the experience is to invite deep rest & explore self-enquiry. The sounds are created using a variety of overtone, emitting instruments, including sacred drum, gongs, Himalayan singing bowls, Crystal singing bowls & voice. £15

"I love Sara’s yin classes for so many reasons.
It’s the blend between Sara’s deep knowledge of yoga and a passion for bringing the most out of each of us. It’s because of Sara’s nurturing voice and the way she empathetically weaves music into her classes. It’s the careful way you are emotionally connected and moved during a class to explore where you are, what is arising and how to manage that. It’s the impact yin has once you’ve left the studio and returned to the everyday.
Sara’s teaching is truly restorative, it gives me strength - and challenges me to know more about myself in the best possible ways. I always feel safe and ‘held’ in Sara’s practices - to be honest I wish that the world was more like one of Sara’s yin classes. We’d be better connected, healthier and happier for it!
I went to yin with Sara yesterday evening and it was overflowing. All pre-booked places were taken, all walk in spots had gone and a couple of people had to be gently turned away. I think this sums up the power of what Sara gives us - and the esteem we have for her pretty well."
