Sara Klute Behn

My name is Sara Klute Behn and fitness and nutrition have been of great interest to me. Since 2010, I have been a group fitness instructor at the Boone YMCA teaching classes such as indoor cycling, Y Pump and others. In April, 2015, I began my 200 hour yoga certification through YogaFit, an international program which teaches the Hatha style of yoga. I will complete my 200 hour RYT (Registered Yoga Teacher) this year. To date, I have over logged 500 hours of teaching yoga classes. My intention is to continue training with YogaFit International until I have received the highest level of training in yoga, Yoga Healthcare.

Since beginning this personal quest, I have found numerous personal benefits for my mind, body and spirit. YogaRx, Your Prescription for Peace, was named after my personal experience of discontinuing anxiety medication in response to meditation and yoga practices. It is the mission of YogaRx to empower others, get them onto their yoga mat, off medications and in tune with their own mind, body and spirit. People of all ages are seeking peace, something gentle they can do to take care of themselves, both inside and out. Yoga is a lifelong, self care practice that everybody can achieve.

Since the inception of YogaRx in January 2017, the demand has been so great that I have contracted with additional instructors. Classes are taught at the Behn Center of Dance and hot yoga is provided at Boone Fitness Factory. Plus, during the summer months we have classes in McHose Park, by the Boone Pool and even with goats!
