Sarah is originally from Germany and has also lived in the US and Spain. She studied International Business with a focus on languages and Human Resources and moved to Sydney in 2015.
Movement and exercise have always played an important role for her and even more so now, to counterbalance her primarily sedentary full-time job in HR.
Whilst Yoga was initially a way to exercise and move for her, it has become so much more than that and is now an integral part of Sarah's life. With a background in dancing, Yoga was the perfect match and is certainly more sustainable over the long run. It has taught Sarah how important it is to listen to one's body, let go of expectations and adjust the practice every time you step onto the mat. Yoga can also be a valuable support if you’re working through injury.
All of this led Sarah to complete her 200-hours Yoga Teacher Training in 2021 and a further 25-hours Vinyasa Training in 2022, which inspired her even more to integrate Yoga into all aspects of her life, on and off the mat.
Her classes are accessible for everyone, from complete beginners to seasoned Yogis. She believes Yoga is a personal journey and a constant practice, not a competition. Sarah’s classes weave together breath work (pranayama), mindfulness and of course physical yoga postures (asana) to create a well-rounded practice for body, mind and soul. Against all common believes, yoga is not just about flexibility and you don’t have to be able to touch your toes to join her classes. On the contrary - in our classes we’ll focus on strength, beyond working on flexibility, and you might even break a sweat. Sarah encourages you to listen to your own body. In the end, it’s all about that body and mind connection. YOU are your best teacher and Sarah emphasises that she is simply here as a guide who offers suggestions. If a pose doesn't work for you, modify it, skip it, take a different one. This is your body and your practice! Above all, Yoga is fun and playful, so why not give it a try and join us?!
Sarah loves travelling and the outdoors as well as languages. She is currently working on improving her Italian.
