Hello! Sarah, here. I am a Breath Coach and Registered Yoga Teacher who has lived with injury and chronic illness for most of my trips around the sun.
I shifted from a life defined by burnout and illness to one of aliveness when I committed to a daily conscious breathing practice to heal from Long Covid.
I became infatuated with the breath’s accessible power to regulate the nervous system after Covid brought my body to a standstill in 2020 when walking to the mailbox replaced a hike on North Table Mountain due to cardiovascular and neurological issues.
This got me curious - how can I coalesce my experience in sustainable food systems, my Sustainability MBA, and a decade of studying and facilitating yoga to guide my fellow humans living with chronic illness to breathe into a life rooted in aliveness, not their symptoms or diagnosis?
Two and a half years later, after facilitating classes, workshops, and 1:1s for hundreds of brilliant breathers using the seasons of breath methodology, I’m excited to witness the definition of breathing ecosystems emerging as a tool to beat burnout and to integrate slowness into the hurried pace of modern life.
I am a big believer that how one mindfully breathes is just as important as the techniques practiced to encourage resilience on the neurobiological level, which is why each recording, workshop, curriculum, and package encourages the practice of curiosity, play, and self-compassion.
Take a slow breath and say hello.
