Who am I?
My yoga journey was not a pivotal life changing moment, but rather a gradual transition, where I learned how to ‘breathe’ and how to ‘feel.’

Learning how to breathe and how to be in my body has been a journey  of listening, of being curious, and of sitting with the discomfort of being still…..allowing the ebb and flow of my breath to slowly and gently invite in a softening of tension and a letting go.

It was then, that I realised my journey was not about controlling…it was about allowing with presence.

This allowing has shaped me over the years to perhaps be a little more self aware, a little more compassionate, a little more open to new experiences.

And with that openness and trust,  Breathe Yoga Space  has also found its calling.  

Accessible, inclusive opportunities to connect or reconnect back with the essence of who you are.   

I am...

         A forever yoga and life student;
        A passionate, experienced yoga teacher and trainer,  yoga  therapist, counsellor and Enneagram facilitator.
Living this life with curiosity, candour and consciousness. 

How I Arrived…
A registered primary teacher for many years, I often found that it was the parents that needed my compassion and support as they traversed the rocky cliffs of parenthood. That realisation propelled me into my studies in Counselling, Art Therapy and the Enneagram in the Narrative tradition. People process thoughts and emotions in different ways and I felt I needed different modalities to help heal and make sense of the world.
As yoga became central to my life, I travelled to India to train in Hatha Yoga, with the idea of deepening my knowledge rather than to teach. As the universe would have it, no sooner was I back in Australia than I was asked to teach classes, and so this new journey began.

I went on to train in Power Yoga and immersed myself in further training for Restorative, Yin, Somatic yoga and Meditation. But I soon realised that yoga is not a one size fits all and so I further trained in Yoga for Grown-ups and Chair Yoga with the late Maria Kirsten, Teaching Yoga for Trauma, Anxiety, Depression and Body Image with Sarah Ball and Yoga for Mental Health with Dr Lauren Tober. 

 I continued my studies and with a Post Graduate Certificate in Yoga Therapy with The Yoga Therapy Institute of Australia, study Yoga for (dis) Ability with Lisa Bidgood of the Prana Room and Yoga for Autism with Tracy Gray (Yoga Therapy Institute). More recently my immersion into teaching yoga for grownups through Chair yoga and Therapeutic yoga has led me to complete trainings specifically for ageing such as Yoga for Bone Health and Osteoporosis (Yinstinct Yoga), and Yoga for Low back pain and Scoliosis with Essential Yoga Therapy (Robin Rothenberg).

The more I embody the practice of yoga, somatic therapies and the Enneagram and the more I observe others; and how they each lean into their own practice of self discovery the more I understand the nuances of unity of mind, body, soul.

There is a reason yoga is called a practice. It becomes a personal and intimate relationship with yourself, and like any relationship we fall in and out of love with it until it becomes a part of you.

Testimonials

It was absolutely amazing!! I enjoyed it so much. I went into it open minded with no expectations and I got so much out of it. Combining mindful and free movement with the movement of art, without placing expectations on needing it to be or look a certain way was just so freeing and I found it so enjoyable and relaxing.
Elissa
Sarah is always able to read the mood of the class and though well prepared, can modify her plans to match the feeling in the group on any given day.
Evelyn
Sarah brings a sense of peace, allowing for mind body connection in her classes.  She is a professional yoga teacher who allows you to reach your potential in any given class, providing you with the feeling that you can work to your potential on any given day.
I would highly recommend Sarah’s classes from beginners through to the more experienced people wishing for an all-round yoga experience.
I leave her classes with a great feeling of well-being and self-care.
