This month we're working with the throat chakra and the sacred figure of White Buffalo Woman.
The throat chakra (Vishuddha) is the centre of communication, self-expression, and truth. It governs how we share our inner world with others—through words, creativity, and embodied authenticity. When balanced, it empowers clear, compassionate speech and deep listening; when blocked, we may feel silenced, unheard, or disconnected from our truth.
White Buffalo Woman, a revered figure in Lakota tradition, is a bringer of sacred teachings and a guardian of harmony and reverence. She gifted the Lakota people with the sacred pipe, symbolising prayer, truth, and unity between all beings. Her presence invites us to speak with integrity, listen with humility, and honour the sacredness of voice. White Buffalo Woman teaches that every word can be a prayer, every silence a space for healing. She reminds us that true expression begins with deep listening—to ourselves, to each other, and to the Earth. 💙🌬️
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.
WHAT TO BRING: Please bring yoga mat, blanket, cushion, eye mask and anything
else that will help you get super comfy. Please wear loose, comfortable layers. More info click here

"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."
