you’re here because…

you want to enthusiastically & fully step into your gifts as a teacher. You want to embrace & embody the unconditional richness of this practice. You want to inspire your students both on and off their mats. You want to share, unapologetically, your authentic and unique voice - the one that makes you stand out as a teacher. You want to feel the teachings flow from you effortlessly, because they are being expressed from your heart. You are a teacher who is always striving to be more genuine and embodied in your expression.

you’re in the right place.

I have a passion for working with yoga teachers because I know the huge impact and difference they can make in the classroom. Yoga teachers are educators, introducing people to philosophical ideas, anatomical understandings, language, and so much more. Yoga teachers are guides, ushering people toward a stronger connection with their own full heart and unique gifts.


are you looking to…

step more fully into your role as a teacher and leader but you’re not sure where to start? Do you want help finding an area of focus in your teaching so you can dive in wholeheartedly? Do you feel burnt out and want to reclaim that same inspiration and excitement for yoga that drew you to the practice in the first place? Do you want to have a large impact on your students, both on and off their mat, so they feel inspired to make positive changes in their lives and in the world? Have you lost touch with your own personal practice and want to reclaim it?

What I want for you most is to feel honored, inspired, and compelled to teach from an authentic and well-studied place. I want you to know, wholeheartedly, the impact you can have on your students and the many places you can take them. I want you to be in love with your teaching and serve from that place.

Sarah is a warm and intuitive soul who sees her clients for who they are and what they are capable of. She brings a gentleness, wisdom, and playfulness to her teaching and mentorship, that allows you to feel safe, expanded, and in good hands. I am so grateful for the opportunity to have learned from Sarah and to learn from her still.

which is why I created this program.

I wanted to create a space for teachers to examine their own teaching with care and curiosity. I’ve taken many different teacher trainings and, though I gained so much from each of them, I was always missing the more personalized piece. I was hoping my teacher could see me teach and offer me feedback. I wanted to go over my specific challenges around my teaching and find ways to overcome them. I wanted to work with a seasoned teacher one-on-one so I could refine certain areas of my teaching and continue to grow my confidence, skills and knowledge as a teacher. Things came up in my teaching that weren’t covered in training and I felt lost. I wanted someone to help guide me through those moments.

So I decided to fill that void by creating this program. This program is a bridge between emerging from teacher training and being the inspirational, knowledgeable, confident teacher that you are. This bridge offers you the tools, accountability and reflection you need to make your ideal vision a reality. I believe that it takes time + consistent effort and study to be a strong teacher. But it also takes support from fellow teachers; support from a mentor who is willing to experience your teaching and offer you valuable feedback. You need someone who can witness your strengths, help you expand upon those, and encourage you to apply those strengths in your class. I’d love to be part of your support system.

[programs]

ONE MONTH INTENSIVE

Investment: $450

Focus more thoroughly on one or two areas of teaching. This month intensive will give us time to develop those areas of your teaching so you can share them with confidence and ease. This is a great option for the yoga teacher who is looking for a tune up or does not want to invest as much time or money just yet.

THREE MONTH INTENSIVE

Investment: $1250

This program is perfect for the teacher who has multiple areas they want to work on, or who wants to commit longer than 1 month to a particular area. The benefit of this program is that you will have ample time to apply our work into your classes and refine from there. This is a great option for the teacher who wants to invest more time into their teaching, is looking to teach full time, or wants to become more proficient in a certain area of their teaching.
