We practice so we can nourish life, and our approach to practice is an expression of our values

Our philosophy on practice:

Yoga is a multi-dimensional practice whose goal is deep connection - we honor all the tools of yoga, including asana, pranayama, mantra, visualization, and meditation. We also understand that Yoga is so much more than just tools, it is a philosophy and a spiritual practice. In all of our offerings, we are guided by the teachings of yoga, particularly the wisdom of the Sūtras, and the lineage of TKV Desikachar and T.Krishnamacharya.

The tools are meant to serve you, not the other way around - practice will always be altered to meet the your needs and your life. If you are coming to practice with any concerns on how practice can work for you, please reach out to Sarah to schedule a consultation at no charge to talk through what you need.

We prioritize function over form, keeping breath as primary - any asana or method can and should be changed to stay connected to the why of practice. When we are linked with why we are doing something, we build a practice which is empowering, curious, and rooted in our life. We prioritize breath to care for our awareness and subtle body.

We ground our practice in the ethical principles of Yoga and Buddhism - in all we do, we strive to embody non-violence, honesty, non-greed, right use of sexual energy, and not taking what is not given freely. This is not just a statement, but an ongoing and deepening practice.

Yoga is relationship - we practice so we can engage in all of life, ground in our body and work with our mind, and walk the path of awakening toward a more compassionate, ethical, just, and humane world.
