SarahEmily’s yoga journey began with deliverance from negative self-talk, has traversed through years of self-discovery, and in the end continues to bring about immense physical, mental, and emotional healing.

As someone who is learning to navigate chronic pain, she has found ways to acknowledge and honor the boundaries of her body, while eagerly and actively searching for healthy and loving ways to expand her practice and the practices of her students.

Over the past 10 years, SarahEmily has found that yoga can be a comfortable seat but it can also be an advanced standing posture, such as dancer, and each can look a little bit different for everyone. Yoga is breath and movement, but it is also stillness. Yoga is communion with yourself and others around you. Yoga is listening to your intuition and trusting it over ego, every step of the way.

SarahEmily’s classes promise joyful and meaningful movements that hope to leave students feeling grounded and grateful for all their bodies have and will accomplish.
