Certified Yoga Teacher in Original 26&2 Posture

Creator of Loving Presence Yoga in Grangeville ID.

Sarah received her 500 HR Yoga Teacher Certification in Joshua Tree, California in the original 26&2 posture with competence in the field of Yoga philosophy, anatomy/bio-mechanics, Asana-technique & therapeutic benefits thereof, Pranayama, & Space Holding. Her continued practice that started in 2016, allowed self-discovery of the true essence of Yoga, beyond the physical level, as a union with Absolute Self on a higher level of consciousness, bringing inner light/inner silence back from within, & reconnecting with inner world through loving presence.

The gift of Yoga and the nurturing teachings on space holding through mobility exploration connecting with inner strength & silent mind, allowed Sarah to transfer the same teachings that encompass elements of alignment-based flow with mindful calm breaths, and more emphasis on a high level of awareness, consciousness, and presence called LOVE! Self-Love, Inner Light & Awareness, Inner Silence are all ONE and the same. As the person learns to create space in their bodily vehicle, & use the silence in that space to become the observer of their own thoughts, restore the Inner Power from within, navigating each day w/ conscious appreciation, and ultimately the gifting of self-healing and bliss.
