Sara came to yoga the way many people do, as a student looking for something.

​

What she found in India, immersed in daily practice and study, was something that rearranged her understanding of what yoga actually is. At the centre of that shift was Pranayama. Not breath as technique or tool, but breath as a complete system, one of the most sophisticated the tradition has produced. The Pranayama taught here is rooted in the Tantric teachings, which understand breath not as stress management or performance enhancement, but as the movement of energy itself, a daily practice of sustaining and replenishing the life force that underlies everything we do.

​

Since then she studied Pranayama under Philip Xerri, who learned directly from Gitananda, one of the great masters of the lineage. To have received this teaching directly, person to person across generations, is both an immense gift and a profound responsibility, something of an entirely different order from the modern teacher training system, where ancient practices are too often condensed into a weekend certificate and a set of cues. That thread of transmission is something Sara takes seriously. It shapes not just what she teaches, but how.

​

Alongside this, Sara has maintained a steady, dedicated Ashtanga Yoga practice for many years, studying under Cary Perkins, Hamish Henry, and Scott Johnson. Ashtanga's rigour and its insistence on showing up, day after day, to the same sequence, with the same honesty, has also quietly informed how she teaches and everything else she does.

​

She has also trained in Tibetan Sound Bowl Healing during her more recent trip to India, which she brings into her Restorative Yoga sessions and into individual and couples work.

​

Sara is also a practising psychodynamic psychotherapist, working in both the NHS and private practice. The two paths, yoga and psychotherapy, are both concerned with the same terrain: the relationship between body, breath, mind, and the stories we carry. 

​

What Sara offers is an invitation into a practice with real roots, one that asks something of you, and gives back considerably more.
