In her yoga classes, Sara combines classical asana and vinyasa wth innovative Yoga Tune Up® exercises to increase awareness, restore physical imbalances and improve mental clarity.  In one-to-one sessions, Sara creates a personalized program of yoga, massage and other bodywork as a means to repair damaged tissue, enhance flexibility and build strength.  Her intention is to deepen students' connection to mind, body and breath and enhance overall wellbeing and ease in daily life.

Sara has been practicing yoga for 17 years. At Yale University she studied yoga as a complement to acting, exploring asana to increase the versatility of the body as a tool for physical expression, pranayama as a means to expand breath and foster clarity, and meditation to center the mind and enhance performance. She spent four years of postgraduate studies at Columbia University, NY and the University of Wisconsin focusing on systems of movement, breath and meditation, including Yoga, Tai Chi, Chi Gong, Hung Gar Kung Fu, and the modern dance forms of Laban, Butoh and Martha Graham. Studies in Feldenkrais and Alexander deepened her understanding of how biomechanics affect health and physical performance.

For Sara, yoga unifies her research in dynamics with her interest and training in therapy. As a massage therapist, Sara applies an in-depth knowledge of anatomy and physiology to encourage relaxation and the rehabilitation of tense, weak and injured areas of the body. Yoga is a natural extension of this work.

Sara began training as a yoga teacher at the Krishnamacharya Yoga Mandiram (KYM) in Chennai, India.  KYM emphasizes breath as the foundation of yoga practice and adapting the practice for the individual. Her teachers included TKV Desikachar, Mekhala Desikachar and Shobana Srinivasan. She continues to advance her teacher training in the Yoga Tune Up® system, which complements the traditional methodology Sara learned at KYM and fuels her passion for exploring the mind-body connection through increased awareness, a spirit of play and Yoga Tune Up's therapeutic applications.

Sara has also created a series of programs for women and couples who are conceiving, pregnant, or new parents.
