Our Instructors
Sara Yingling
Sara has been fortunate enough to develop as a yoga teacher and movement specialist through many diverse environments and methodologies. In 2023, she was exposed to progressive concepts and principles that helped her clients and herself reduce chronic pain and increase our mobility and strength. Her passion for these movement therapies is ignited at an all-time high and she’s taking as many classes as she can and bringing that information back to you!
This entirely new way of addressing the human body takes into account how everything in the body is connected and nothing truly acts in isolation. Her goal is to educate the body and "show" it that there is a more efficient way to move without excessive compensation. Therefore, her interventions involve respecting many different aspects of the body from the nervous system all the way down to muscle fiber positioning.
Sara’s sessions focus on functional movement to support your body at all stages. She brings her knowledge of physiology, anatomy, and rehabilitative exercises to each yoga session to heal from and prevent injuries.
Sara is uniquely experienced in providing careful coaching to yogis 60+, those with artificial joints, recovering from injury, and other body considerations. Clients regularly report building balance, flexibility, strength, and mindfulness that directly translates to a higher quality of life.
Sara teaches both on the mat and aerial yoga. She became a registered yoga teacher in 2014, and has studied with Postural Restoration Institute, Conor Harris (Pinnacle Performance), Lucas Rockwood (YOGABODY), Bryan Kest (Power Yoga), Stacy Dockins (Yoga Project Studios), Pam Cheng (Be One), and Alison Marra (MAVEN Yoga). She has well over 1000 hours of teaching experience in diverse settings with equally diverse students.
