Meet Sara: Children's Yoga Teacher

I’m Sara, I’m originally from France but I’ve lived in many places (Blois & Lyon - France, Florianopolis - Brazil, Montreal - Canada, San Francisco - California, and now London - UK). I started practising yoga 7 years ago and became a yoga teacher 4 years ago, and what a journey it’s been!! After multiple years working in medical imaging research and then as a software engineer, my partner and I took a one year sabbatical to explore Europe in our van. At the end of our travels we decided to put our roots down in London and it was time for me to make yoga teaching a bigger part of my professional life.

Yoga has been supporting me through so much, from international moves, to work craziness and various existential crises so I couldn’t be more excited to bring all those fabulous tools to little ones, so that they may grow up with yoga by their sides, supporting them through life’s beautiful ups and downs.

Do you have any pets?
I have a 4 year old cat, she likes to go on hikes with us and she’s been on road trips across California and Utah, and she traveled around Europe with us in our van, a true adventure kitty !

Did you play any sports growing up?
Growing up I did equestrian vaulting, a mix of dance and gymnastics on a horse, it was so much fun !

Where is your happy place?
On top of a mountain in the California Sierras, sharing a meal with a group of friends at the end of a hike on a sunny day.

What is your mantra?
Be here now. I tend to rehash the past or over plan the future or daydream about being somewhere else so I like to remind myself to be here and now and fully live in the present :)

What are you most grateful for in your life?
My family: my parents and siblings who bring me unconditional love and support, my nieces and nephews who bring me incredible joy and silliness and my life partner who brings me stability and love.
