Expressive movement has played a leading role in Sara’s life for as long as she can remember. Amidst studying Dance Performance at Temple University, Sara (she/her) began her teaching journey at a boutique barre studio in 2012. This is where she fell in love with group fitness.
In 2017, Sara travelled to Rishikesh, India to study Vinyasa and Hatha yoga and to complete her 200 hr YTT. In 2020, Sara moved to Boulder, CO to study at Naropa University where she received her MA in Clinical Mental Health Counseling with a focus in Body Psychotherapy.
Sara’s passion for leading clients through a barre, yoga, or sculpt sequence has been burning for over a decade, and it holds utmost importance to make sure that participants feel safe, inspired, and empowered during the process. Sara looks to movement, in all forms, as an opportunity to express, connect, and share with one another as well as an opportunity to deepen the relationship towards self.
