Sara is a warm-hearted Yoga and Mindfulness Teacher passionate about movement and wellbeing.
Coming from a background in Biomedical Sciences, Sara has been working alongside healthcare professionals in the NHS for nearly 10 years. She currently works within Palliative Care including offering mindfulness to patients. She also supports staff within a wellbeing champion role and taught mindfulness and yoga to OUH staff.
Sara started to practice mindfulness meditation and yoga several years ago to support her physical and mental health, after a difficult period in life with a diagnosis of widespread chronic pain (fibromyalgia and hypermobility). After a few years of personal growth and self-healing she decided to learn more about the tools that have supported her the most, to be able to support others.
She qualified as Yoga Teacher in 2019 and has been teaching in various settings since. She qualified as Mindfulness Teacher in 2020 and she decided to deepen her personal practice and teaching skills in Mindfulness completing a 12-month teacher training in 2022 with Oxford Mindfulness Foundation (partnership with Oxford University).
Her mission is to support people by sharing Yoga, Mindfulness, Wellbeing tools and movement. She hopes to support and inspire people to connect with their bodies, to find acceptance, ease physical and emotional tension, and enhance mental and physical health. She wants to support people to live a holistic happier life within life difficulties to live lives with a greater sense of wellbeing, kindness and resilience.
Sara has continued teaching development in different areas to learn about how different bodies work to support herself but also to be able to teach inclusive and accessible yoga based on biomechanics and fascia connection. She has a particular interest in working with people that suffer from pain or chronic illness and people that want to find balance in life.
She will be teaching Yoga and Mindfulness courses and workshops for groups throughout the year.
She is also available to work on clients with Yoga, Mindfulness and Myofascial Release, teaching one to one, in small groups, events and corporate.
