Introduction: Ashta Yoga focuses on offering private personal, partner, children, prenatal and group classes and corporate Ashtanga Yoga classes. The Ashtanga practice is a tried and true practice that for milliea has helped its practitioners realize optimum physical and mental health. Ashtanga is very different from the westernized yoga we have come to know. The Ashtanga Yoga Practice: 1. Regulates weight and tones the muscles 2. Relaxes the mind and body 3. Reduces anxiety and depression 4. Induces concentration and overall mental acumen 5. Teaches us how to live in healthy union within our community. Ashtanga yoga is an 8 limbed practice: 1. Movement 2 Breathing 3. Personal ethics 4. Social ethics 5. Sense withdrawal (detachment) 6. Meditation 7. Maintaining meditation 8. Contentment Ashta Yoga's approach to teaching is traditional. The students and teachers work together in such a way that the student comes to learn how to practice the 8 limbs in daily life. The goal is for the teacher to be less and less needed. The student will able to cultivate contentment anytime and anywhere with the breath, body and mind only. The Ashtanga practice coupled with Aryurveda (ancient science of health) and sacred texts may be used as a spiritual practice, a yoga class, spiritual healing, life coaching and more. Ashta Yoga does not outsource. I am the only teacher. I was taught under a sacred linage and studied and lived in India as well. Yoga is stilling the fluctuations of the mind Everything action should embody stability and ease in equal measure. Stability and ease result in physical and mindful balance of life. Ashtanga yoga gradually reduces all life obstacles by teaching right body and mind reactions to the suffering of life. Practice and all is coming. Hatha yoga for beginners and beyond. Ashtanga is a Hatha practice combing vinyasa, slow flow and restorative physical postures. Alternative healing and life coaching sessions with an Ashtanga foundation offered.

My husband and I have been working with Sarah since spring of this year. It's been fantastic. Sarah does a great job of assessing her client's needs and tailoring each session to meet those needs. My husband's flexibility has improved greatly and we've consistently been able to accomplish more each week. It's also been a uniquely special way for us to connect. Highly recommend for anyone whose curious in the practice of yoga!

I love Ashta Yoga, It has helped me tremendously in my healing journey. The traditional yoga techniques I learned currently help with the physical, mental and spiritual aspects of self. It’s a practice I didn’t know I needed until I tried it and took it seriously. By Highly recommend Sarah as an instructor, she is amazing!! 💕

Of the many methods I’ve tried, this is by far the best type of therapy for me. The perfect blend of physical and mental strengthening I’ve been searching for. I will keep coming back. “Yoga is stilling the fluctuations of the mind” and boyyy does my mind fluctuate! Through each visit I learn something new and Sarah has a way of knowing what I need each week as I’m forever changing. Thank you Sarah! 🙏 See you next week! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I am very happy to have met Sarah and try her enriched yoga class. She is very kind and patient. She guilds you and helps you even when you’re a beginner like myself. I value the traditional aspect of taking Ashtanga Yoga in this setting as it truly opens up the full potential and healing of the body as a whole. She is very well educated and the value for her classes go beyond the buck. You’ll be happy working with Sarah as your instructor.

I’ve had my second session/lesson and so much has already begun to change for me. I didn’t expect her to care and address the mental aspects of yoga. I expected to just get on a mat and start bending (tells you what my knowledge level is at this point :)) The care and though she puts in to help you address your overall health is exactly what a person needs. After all we are a mental and physical body. Quite relaxing and comfortable. She is so kind and generous with her knowledge. Whether you’ve begun in the past and stopped or you’ve never bent over to touch your toes (btw you will when she gets finished with you lol) she’s what you need. Be prepared to put in the work, you’ll feel energized and renewed in a different way-for sure. If your skeptical take her first session and you’ll see. You owe yourself the very best kind and body but you’ll have to get started at some point.

Details: Reduce stress and anxiety • Enhance stillness of mind • Deepen awareness • Improve memory and concentration • Recover from trauma • As recommended by professional • 41 - 50 years old • My home, venue, etc. • At the pro’s location

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My prices tend to be above market value. This is because Ashtanga Yoga is a specialized sacred practice. There are 8 limbs to learn The postures are only one. Ashtanga is the highest quality yoga one can practice. In addition the goal is to learn to 8 limbs well enough the teacher is less and less needed. The Ashtanga practice becomes a way of life in which the student/practitioner will be able manifest peace at any moment once the practice has been commanded. Therefore long run a student will save money by no longer needing a teacher to practice.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Upon meeting a new customer I asses the lifestyle of the student/customer in order to tailor a personal approach to the Ashtanga practice. I asses tools the student may or may not utilize to bring about mental and physical health, balance, stability and easeful practices. I can then determine what tools and approach I need to teach Ashtanga Yoga. From there I recommended and tailor an approach.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am an ERYT 200 through the Yoga Alliance. I also studied under Sri Dharma Mittra's student. Mittra was taught in Mysore India. I also studied in India. I have practiced and taught for approximately over 10 years.
