"I have been taking Yoga classes for 10+ years, and Sarah is the best yoga teacher I've ever had. I always felt so relaxed and refreshed after attending one of her sessions." --Sarah H.
"Sarah is a well balanced yoga instructor who makes each class fun and challenging for the yoga beginner as well as those who have been practicing for a while. She always offers different levels for each pose so all feel comfortable. Sarah also takes time to integrate information about yoga's spiritual side and has a focus for each class. I enjoy each and every class and always feel calm yet energized after class." --Christine D.
"Quite simply, a favorite yoga teacher! Sarah thoroughly describes and explains where we are going in each practice and with each pose. Each class is clearly well-planned and well thought-out. She comes prepared. She is also experienced in different yoga "flavors," including hatha, vinyasa, and Kundalini, among others. Her best quality is a true empathy towards her students (if that makes sense?)... in other words, she "gets you." I wish I could take classes from her daily!" --Katie R.
Balancing The Wheels: A Practical Guide to Chakras and Yoga
Sarah wrote Balancing The Wheels as a gift to her students (and fellow teachers) to augment her chakra yoga classes with reading at home. The book is meant to provide a tangible and practical experience of using chakras in daily life to feel better. It is beautifully hand illustrated by Liz Kresch with chapters in different colors for each chakra. Click the book for a link to order your copy!

"This book is essential. It is the missing manual. We came to the world one day but nobody gave as a maintenance manual for our body and mind. Well, thanks to Sarah we now have one. The book is nicely organized, easy to follow and beautifully illustrated." -Sergio T.
"Sarah's book is thorough and a must read for every student of yoga....a great teacher training tool. I love how the book is laid out with chapters for each Chakra and the pages are the colors of the Chakra...very clever!" -Margaret B
"Highly recommended for anyone that is seeking a practical guide to get off the rollercoaster of life and add spiritual and healthful balance back into their life." -Fernando L.
