Her work has been featured in international publications, radio and a variety of podcast interviews, including “Inspire Me Today.” Having began her Ashtanga based practice in 1998 with Kathleen Kelly Hoffman, certified yoga instructor Sarah Starr, has since studied under the guidance of teachers David Swenson, Doug Swenson, Beryl Bender Birch, Michael Stone, Baron Baptiste, Rod Stryker, Rolf Gates and Rangani Cobo, MD. Sarah encourages her students to relax, breathe and smile, as they become the watchers of their thoughts, worries and distracting mind dialogue. “If your not having fun, you’re not doing Yoga.” Sarah’s classes alternate with movement to open the body through yoga, meditation practice, breathing techniques to create optimal health and group mindfulness exercises. These practices activate life energy, clear energy blockages, and increase physical well-being and aliveness.
