About Me

Hi! My name is Sarah,

For the past 21 years, yoga has been a part of my daily life. Just over fourteen years ago, I chose to become a certified yoga instructor, and took the leap to open my own yoga studio in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area of Minnesota. Studio One Yoga, which now has three physical locations in Minnesota has grown to an amazing community and in the past 8 years one that takes us to new and gorgeous areas around the world to explore and feed our adventurous souls through our yoga retreat programs. I am a mother to 5 beautiful children, married to my soul mate and business partner in all our ventures, a massage therapist, and a serial entrepreneur.  

In the teaching and therapy I give, I focus on cultivating powerful opportunities for others' healing journeys by combining breath, movement, touch and supported encouragement to guide them to find freedom and peace in their own bodies and learn to connect with their own inner strength and teachings.  

I am trained and certified in multiple modalities of yoga with over 1500 hours of hands on training, and over 8000 hours of active teaching, including vinyasa, yin, restorative, Blissology with Eoin Finn, Hot 26 + 2, along with over 20+ years as a bodywork therapist.  This has really given me a lens into how to create experiences on and off the mat for my students.  I guide, hold space, and empower with encouraging those ready for their next step, their next chapter in life and transformation. I pass on my knowledge, give options, direction and choices as I teach to allow my students to move at a pace that they feel safe and supported.  Whether fast, slow, powerful or gentle, I have utilized years of training and active teaching to aid students in finding the rhythm that speaks most clearly to them. To guide them to feel the boundaries of comfort, and create challenges and explore their edge of discomfort, all without force, so they can experience transformation in all parts of their life.

My teaching purposely allows you to tap into your inner compass, your wise guide within, and steer yourself in and through your desired path.  You will build that inner connection to the self, and find a journey with nothing to prove of yourself or to yourself, but confidence in everything to share about yourself.

It's been a dream to combine my teaching with travel and adventure. Creating stronger connections to yourself, new connections with others on parallel paths, and to do so while immersed in different cultures and spaces.  It allows us all to get out of the familiar surroundings of our day to day lives, what we are tired and afraid of, and with the support of others, redirect our own paths that we own and love.  

I'm excited to move, explore and love life with you!
