“Yoga is most powerful when practiced as embodied movement. Experience feeling more connected to the sensations within, more at ease in your own skin. Build resilience and tools for life”

Sarah offers heartfelt, fluid, empathic yoga classes with an emphasis on keeping things simple and accessible. Expect to move at a steady pace during Hatha Flow classes, physically challenging yourself without stressing the body. Then you become stronger and more flexible. Slow & Steady classes are perfect for you if you want to move slower, or if you are less experienced with yoga. You will explore yoga postures and practices that boost or balance energy, cultivate mindfulness of breathing and develop a greater connection to the sensations of your body.  More internal, less external - a work ‘in’ not a work ‘out’! Based on her own personal experience of yoga as a valuable resource to navigate life, Sarah’s teaching is informed with this understanding and practical application of yoga.

Yoga for Body and Mind is a space for you in Titirangi to enjoy creatively sequenced, gentle or intermediate pace Hatha yoga classes and workshops. Local yoga classes are all held in stunning locations, with venues surrounded by native New Zealand bush and birdlife, and the magnificent Manukau Harbour.

"What I offer is my motivation, enthusiasm and love of yoga so you leave class feeling at ease within your body, more connected to your breath and lighter of heart. Join me soon to start the conversation between your body and mind."

Why yoga? Scientific research has shown that yoga is excellent for maintaining a strong, flexible body that is less prone to stiffness and injury. Modern lifestyles require us to sit for long periods, creating a lack of fluid movement through the joints and tissues. Without regular movement we can start to feel physically uncomfortable and disconnected from our bodies. Even just a few minutes of stretching daily can help you to feel more mobile, leading to a more relaxed state of mind as your body releases tension that has built up over time. Targeted yoga practices are also highly beneficial for helping you to feel more calm and adept at managing stress. Working with integrated breath and movement on a regular basis retrains the brain to ‘pause’ before leaping into ‘fight or flight’ stress mode. This has a massive impact on how we deal with conflict and other triggering challenges in our lives.
