Sarah Perkins

Sarah earned her 200 hour certification in June 2009 through the Jivasara Yoga School, studying with Marni Task.  Her vinyasa-based classes are focused on breath, strength, flexibility, balance, motion, and stillness - and are set to an eclectic mix of music. Sarah loves teaching flow classes because it allows the student to freely dictate the intensity.

She has studied with Marni Task, Sianna Sherman, Mitchell Bleier, Max Strom, and Desiree Rumbaugh.  She draws inspiration from Anusara Yoga and Jivamukti Yoga, her teachers, her family, friends, and loved ones. She continues to study and practice and she hopes to share her insights along the way, encouraging others on their path to awareness.

Sarah first discovered yoga when a friend invited her to attend a class. From the very first moment, Sarah was in awe of the powerful physical and spiritual benefits of yoga.  Between working at a highly stressful and demanding job during the day and attending school at night, she was exhausted and in physical pain. Given the physical and emotional condition in which she found herself at the time, she knew immediately that yoga was the key she needed to unlock the door to balance and to help her ease into a peaceful life.  The more she practiced and studied, the more she noticed a shift in the way she viewed herself and the world around her.  She found that the more she practiced, the more she felt alive and was able to plug into the essence of the grace that she knows flows through each of us.

The stillness and calmness of mind, the deeper connection to self and exploration of her own true nature are what keep Sarah on her mat. Sarah has experienced firsthand the fact that yoga offers openness and peace in the heart, as well as a way to strengthen and nurture the body.  A strong believer that yoga is the perfect complement to our wonderfully busy lifestyles, she pursued it first for what it brings to her life.  As she began to experience immeasurable benefits, she made the decision to share it with others…to give others the opportunity to achieve the inner peace that she has come to know.  Sarah loves yoga and feels compelled to share its benefits with all who are searching for a more peaceful and rewarding way of life.
