Through her teachings and in supporting purpose-driven entrepreneurs, she guides others in shaping lives and offerings that feel aligned and true, gently reminding them to come home to themselves and trust the wisdom of their bodies.
Sarah is the former owner of The Greenhouse, a yoga and inner wellness studio in Palos Verdes, California, where she cultivated a community rooted in practice and connection.
Her offerings blend ancient wisdom with modern science, drawing from yoga, somatics, mindfulness, psychology, and spiritual healing. She creates safe, supportive spaces that invite a return to vitality, clarity, and inner knowing. She believes we are our own best teachers. Her classes weave together breath, movement, and awareness, informed by her background in dance and her continued study of the body, nervous system, and brain.
In addition to her classes and workshops, Sarah leads teacher trainings in Yin Yoga and somatic, trauma-informed practice, and has developed comprehensive training manuals to support these teachings. She brings over 15 years of experience sharing these teachings.
Her work extends into education and global programming, where she teaches entrepreneurship and innovation at Columbia University and African Leadership University (ALU), as well as through other international initiatives. Across these spaces, she shares an approach that integrates embodied awareness with mindful leadership and venture creation.
She guides retreats and immersive experiences internationally, creating space for reflection, connection, and renewal.
As an ambassador for Yoga Gives Back, an organization dedicated to empowering women and children in underserved communities in India, she remains deeply committed to seva, or selfless service.
Sarah holds a Master of Arts in Clinical Psychology from Columbia University, with a concentration in Spirituality and Mind-Body Practice, where her studies explored the intersection of psychology, neuroscience, and spirituality.
She received her yoga teacher training through Yoga Mittra in Manhattan Beach and Laughing Lotus in New York City, and has completed advanced training in trauma-informed yoga, yoga for post-traumatic stress, Somatic Attachment Therapy, Somatic Trauma Therapy, Ayurveda, Reiki, spiritual healing, and Mindfulness-Based Strengths Practice (MBSP).
“After 20+ years of teaching all kinds of fitness classes, I found Yoga, and then I found Sarah. Beyond the fantastic workout I got in the first class, she turned a lightbulb on for me; I thought “that’s how I want to make people feel when I teach class”. She is warm, welcoming, supportive as well as informative and challenging.”

"I have taken private lessons from Sarah for over two years. When I started, I told her that if she pushed me too hard, I would run away and never do yoga again. Sarah thought about what I said and created a plan that was perfect for me! Two years later, I am doing things that I never thought would be possible.”

"I've been practicing with Sarah for 5 years now and I can—without a doubt—say that she's my favorite yoga and wellness teacher. Her expertise on the subject, paired with her enormous heart, make for incredible sessions. It's clear she deeply cares for her students' well being, in and outside of class.”

“Sarah has so much natural ability to listen graciously, to empathize, to take scattered ideas and hand them back to you so they feel organized and sensical. That’s one of her strengths as a coach. She knows so many strategies—and they come to her in such an organic way—that whatever you’re struggling with she has a suggestion for.”
