Sarah – Modern Yoga Teachers

During covid/quarantine, I fell in love with exercise and all those lovely endorphins as I was coping with the stress of being locked in my house with three crazy humans. I started practicing yoga during quarantine and what first drew me to it was the meditation side of it, how beautifully and naturally breath could pair with movement. When you are so focused and in tune with your breathing, its amazing how it truly carries you through different poses, no matter if they are hard and strenuous or more relaxing and restorative. I knew I wanted to go deeper with my practice and learn whatever I could learn about yoga.

I received my RYT200 from Modern Yoga in 2021 and I have just started the coursework for my RYT300 with YogaRenew. I would also love to pursue yoga therapy and yin yoga as well.

Forget about trying to look like anyone else in class or like the Instagram yogis. Focus on how each pose feels in your body in that exact moment. Trust that your body will tell you what it needs. Your practice is yours alone and will be unique to you and that is such a beautiful thing.

Lately I have been loving tree pose. I love that it helps you to quiet down, focus on one thing and just breath. It also reminds me that its ok to be human … its ok to waver and sway when thoughts or distractions arise. But ultimately, you get back in your position, and start breathing again.

I got the opportunity to go to college for a semester in Northern Ireland. I lived in Belfast, NI for 4 months and was able to travel to Spain, London, Scotland and all over Ireland while I was there. I even got to see Wicked while in London. It was an incredible experience that I will never forget.

I am obsessed with reading books. I have books everywhere in my house and its not uncommon for me to be reading 2-3 books at a single time. I find such comfort, such emotional relief, from being in a book. It just feels like home.
