Namaste! I’m Sarah, a dedicated yoga instructor, mother of 5, and a birth doula with a passion for nurturing both the body and the soul. My journey into yoga began as a powerful response to managing anxiety, leading me to a transformative 200-hour teacher training with Love Yoga.
This is where I truly began to find my voice for sharing this practice. But first… it took a little bit of a secret journey before I dove in completely. I taught a private class on Monday nights for a few friends and family… for almost 6 months before I found the courage to welcome the public… where I’ve since met all of you!
As a caregiver at heart, my yoga classes are a sanctuary of compassion and mindfulness. Balancing the roles of motherhood and doula, I bring a unique perspective to my teaching—infusing each class with the wisdom gained from supporting new life both in and out of the studio.
I believe in creating a space where every individual feels seen, heard, and supported on their unique journey. With a background rooted in LOVE and a commitment to holistic well-being, I guide my students through practices that not only strengthen the body but also nourish the spirit.
My teaching philosophy revolves around the belief that yoga is a personal exploration—a journey to self-discovery and self-care. Through mindful movement, breath awareness, and the gentle guidance of my classes, I aim to empower each student to find their inner strength and peace.
Having found a home at Love Yoga, I am grateful for the opportunity to share my passion for yoga in this vibrant community. The studio’s commitment to fostering a welcoming environment aligns perfectly with my teaching values. Together, let’s embark on a journey of self-discovery, healing, and joy through the practice of yoga.
Join me on the mat, and let’s embrace the transformative power of yoga—one breath at a time.
And if you or someone you know could use a little extra support with any part of pregnancy, pre or post… feel free to reach out to me for a doula info packet.

Seems like that should just be the title of all of our posts. Falling in Love… especially this time of year. Falls always seems a little like January 1 with a lot of new beginnings and refreshers. The start of a new school year, getting back into routines, new events and workshops and new classes on the schedule. Check out our upcoming events and workshops: 8 limbs, Stress Habits and the Relaxation Retreat at the Oregon Coast!
OREGON COAST YOGA, WRITING & RELAXATION RETREAT.
st crow pose. Someone’s first time sitting cross legged. Someone’s first time rolling up off the floor without momentum… just pure core strength. Someone stopping an anxiety attack in its tracks. Someone sleeping 9 hours straight after a restorative class. Someone ‘getting’ meditation… finally! Someone feeling like a better parent because they felt more patient after class. People have shared these and so many more moments with us about how this practice has helped. I think to myself every single time…sharing these moments might help more people to relax, sleep better, have patience, heal, strengthen, connect and love. Naturally. So I will try. I will try to share more often. I’ll start with three recent photos that remind me over and over again… how surrounding yourself with an uplifting environment and uplifting people… absolutely lifts your spirits, inspires your life and instills a sense of love and connection.
e never fails to astound. Baby Boomers have cautiously strolled into the studio having never set foot on a yoga mat. Mothers of 3 in med school find a few moments on the mat for themselves. 30 something dads give it a go even though sometimes they’re the only dude in class. And those who venture into teacher training take the plunge and commit to putting their heart and soul on the mat in front a group of unfamiliar faces. Courage. Bravery. Moxie. Character. Enthusiasm. A sense of adventure and a willingness to light the path. They are the luminaries. These luminaries will be rotating through our new Sunday morning class… simply in order to practice. We hope you’ll join them!
