I'’m Sarah. I’m 58 and I know what it’s like to wake up stiff with a scattered mind.

​

I’ve been teaching yoga since 2011 — first in busy London studios, and now in my boutique home studio in Shirley, near Southampton Common. I also teach at St James Church in Shirley and regularly run workshops and courses at East of Eden Yoga Studio in London.

​

Yoga is my time and space to come back, again and again, to who I really am beneath the to-do lists and responsibilities. Yes, yoga builds strength, supports bones, improves sleep, aids digestion and helps regulate the nervous system — but I’m not here to sell anti-ageing promises or perfect poses. This is not yoga to fix or improve you. You are already whole.

​

So much of the wellness industry feeds on insecurity and fear of ageing.

Practising yoga with me isn’t about winding down — it’s yoga to wake up.

My teaching is rooted in a more natural way of living, aligned with the moon and seasonal cycles, offering a counterbalance to the pace of modern life.

 

You don’t need flexibility.

You don’t need fancy leggings.

You just need a body — and a decision to feel good in it.

​

I’ve practised yoga for nearly 40 years and taught for over 15, and I remain endlessly curious and committed to learning. My classes blend ancient wisdom with modern insight, woven with humour, honesty, and deep care.

​

I’m a Senior Yoga Teacher with Yoga Alliance Professionals (their highest level of accreditation), a Reiki healer, and a certified Practitioner of Shamanic Energy Medicine. I’ve had the privilege of studying with many inspiring teachers including Max Strom, Elena Brewer, Jason Crandell, Anna Forest,  Annie Carpenter, Judith Hansen Lassiter, David Swenson, Stephanie Snyder, Sarah Powers, Norman Blair and my shamanic training is with Cissi Williams. at the Nordic Light Institute.
