I'm Sarah, a senior yoga teacher, reiki healer, and energy medicine practitioner with a passion for guiding others toward healing, balance, and self-discovery. I’ve been teaching yoga since 2011, beginning in busy London studios and now in my sweet 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.

 

My sessions blend yoga, mindfulness, energy medicine, poetry, yogic philosophy, and essential oils—an alchemy designed to leave you feeling restored, balanced, and deeply rejuvenated.

 

My journey with yoga began almost 40 years ago in my late teens at a local gym, where I fell in love with the unexpected calm I felt at the end of my first class. I now know that feeling was a regulated nervous system—something I'd never experienced before. Though I appeared successful outwardly for many years, I silently battled stress, anxiety, and depression, relying on alcohol and drugs to feel okay. Yoga found me at a time when I needed it most.

 

What began as a weekly class became a lifelong practice of coming home to myself. Through grief, change, addiction, anxiety, and life's many initiations, yoga has been a steady companion — helping me soften, listen, heal, and begin again.

 

Today I share this practice from lived experience, not perfection. My teaching is rooted in nearly four decades of practice and a deep respect for the wisdom of the body, the cycles of nature, and the power of slowing down.

 

Expect classes that are nurturing, grounded, and real. A space to breathe, reconnect, and remember who you are.

 

Healing begins when we create space to listen.

 

I’ve had the honour of studying with many incredible teachers, including Judith Hanson Lasater, Sarah Powers, Max Strom, Ana Forrest, Jason Crandell, Norman Blair, David Swenson, Jyoti Manuel, Michael Stone, and Elena Brower. My training in shamanic energy medicine is with Cissi Williams and I'm currently guided and led by  Naomi Absolam who is based in Brighton
