sarah savage yoga
I started practicing yoga in my early twenties with a vague but niggling sense
of wanting to do something to soothe a stiff body and an anxious, overactive
mind. I’d always done a lot of sport but considered myself inflexible. I’d never
really had any kind of spiritual practice. I remember that first, strange and
captivating savasana in the chilly scout’s hut - a door had opened. Yoga has
been a portal to discovery ever since. As a teacher, my aim is to guide students
in exploring all that their bodies know. I believe that through kind attention
and the magic of motion we can start to feel into new areas, release unhelpful
patterns and find a greater sense of joy, freedom and connection that ripples
into all aspects of our lives. For me, this is the magic of yoga and why I am so
passionate about my own practice and sharing it with others. I share embodied,
heart-led practices of movement, breath and meditation. I offer a space for you
to move without rules and without rushing, a space for self-expression and to
feel what is waiting to be felt. Informing my teaching style is an interest in
neuroplasticity, heart and body intelligence, functional movement, trauma and
mindfulness teachings. You can take a look at some of my inspiration here. I
love feeling hot sun on my skin, peanut butter and jam in my porridge, and
spotting cute dogs in the park with my partner, Tommy. I completed my 250 hour
Yoga Alliance Professionals teacher training with Stretch in 2019, with Carl
Faure and Calli Popham. I am also a qualified pre- and post-natal yoga teacher
having completed an intensive training with Stretch in 2021.
