While Sara enjoys offering the gifts of yoga to men and women, she also offers Women’s Yoga workshops, retreats, classes and private sessions around the world.   

As women, we are anatomically different than men.  This we can prove.  We have breasts, wombs, wider hips and more body fat.  We have monthly cycles and within us lives the potential to create. 

While modern life offers many of us the blessings that our ancestresses were denied, we are paying the price.  Chemical-laden foods, water and air, as well the as high-paced, stressful lives that most of us embrace often leave us depleted, burnt out, exhausted. When this happens, we suffer from depression, eating disorders, low self-esteem, insomnia, anxiety, infertility, PMS, menstrual irregularities, ovarian cysts and fibroids, menopausal discomfort, or even more debilitating diseases.

Even if we are devout yoginis, a driven and strenuous yoga practice-- when not balanced with quieting and cooling practices-- is just another way that we ask too much of ourselves.  When we do this, we have nothing left to give to others.  And as women, we are the ones who are drawn upon to feed this world—literally and metaphorically.

Therefore, every yogini will arrive, at some point in time, to a place where her Yoga becomes, either as a necessity or as an inner longing, more about un-doing than doing.

Our bodies have attuned themselves through alignment, our intellects have absorbed the scriptures and philosophies.  We have grown stronger, more disciplined and courageous.  And, yet, as women we hunger for something more, something much deeper, something in the fluid, watery, intangible and quite unscientific terrain of the Heart.

Here is where we return to our natural, easeful essence of Yoga.  When we have exhausted the notion that we have something to prove to ourselves or anyone else, we use Yoga’s time-tested technology to unearth our own willingness to be vulnerable to ourselves and others as we are.  We remember to trust and heed our intuition.  We remember that our power surges when we relax into life and the goodness that we already are.  We find the courage and enthusiasm to be women again.

We steadfastly commit to living as the cyclical beings that we are, moving with the rhythms of the Earth and the moon.  Through this, greater radiance and health return.  We shine.   We are fed, down to the deepest recesses of our hearts.  From here our arms are overflowing—we are again ready to feed the world.
