Integrating strength, flexibility, skillful rest and wisdom as a means to play to every body as a precise instrument. Not just beaten like  a drum.

Sarah specializes in body composition improvement (fat loss), functional training, and flexibility. She is passionate about pranayama and the idea that connecting breath and movement during both vinyasa yoga AND strength training leads to a calm mind and a healthy body.

Sarah completed her BS at University of Utah, where she was an avid snowboarder, tri-athlete, and wilderness guide. She began her career in fitness by teaching group aerobics, water conditioning and swim classes in high school and college. Sarah transitioned into personal training in 2007 under the guidance of her mentor Joe Dowdell at esteemed NYC strength and conditioning center PEAK Performance.

A devoted yoga practitioner for over a decade she continues to study at the feet of her root teachers Sharon Gannon and David Life of Jivamukti Yoga School. Sarah also studies Tibetan Buddhism in the Gelukpa Tradition through the Yoga Studies Institute and Asian Classics Institute. Her efforts are an offering to her beloved Teachers.
