Certified to teach Trauma-informed Yoga and Restorative Yoga

I began my own yoga journey over 16 years ago and completely fell in love with it. I later graduated with my master’s degree and began working as a social worker with at-risk children and families. After having children of my own, my yoga practice began to deepen and my mat became my sanctuary. Yoga was a way for me to care for myself both physically and emotionally, creating space for me to be a better mother to my children.

I teach yoga to cultivate community, connection, strength, and feeling centered in the mind and body through the use of the breath. My classes are designed to feel inclusive and accessible to all who join. I hope to see you on your mat.

Sarah began her journey in the study of mind/body practices as a way to combat stress and to heal from
past traumas. Starting out years ago with Reiki and Meditation, Sarah had finally found a way to relax her
body and release tension from her mind. At the age of 40, she included the more physical practice of Yoga in her daily routine, including the Ashtanga, Anusara, and Iyengar methods of practice.

In 2013, Sarah spent a month of intense Yoga studies in Nicaragua, living in a remote location, without the daily distractions of the internet, phone, or television. Since her initial Yoga training, Sarah has become certified in teaching Healing Meditation, became a Level 3 Reiki Master, and a licensed Massage Therapist. Her classes include mindful sequencing, playful exploration in movements, and tools to help each individual quiet the mind and find self-acceptance. You will leave the class feeling challenged, yet relaxed.

Genevieve received her 200Hr RYT in 2013 in Pahoa, HI in Integrative Yoga Therapy. After teaching yoga in Chicago and Hawaii in 2015 Genevieve moved to Cusco, Peru to teach. She developed and taught  7 week Yoga Therapy programs designed for specific populations, such as students, athletes, children with Cerebral Palsy, and Down Syndrome.

She taught classes and workshops in Huanchaco and Trujillo and implemented a yoga therapy program at a special education school in Tarapoto. There she gave resources to caregivers and teachers to teach and practice therapeutic yoga tools.  Her yoga journey inspires her to practice and teach self-exploration through movement, consciousness, creative self-expression, self-acceptance, and healing.
