About Sarah
Background
Sarah is a fully qualified Birthlight teacher, experienced in teaching Pregnancy, Birth Preparation, Hypnobirthing, Baby Yoga & Massage, Postnatal Yoga and Well Woman Yoga.
Sarah worked as a qualified NCT antenatal teacher for several years, gaining experience in helping couples make the transition into parenthood.
Sarah has trained with the founder of Birthlight, the world renowned Francoise Freedman, as well as the best teachers in their field, including Lauren Ohayon.
More recently Sarah has deepened her knowledge of core and pelvic floor dysfunction and has gone on to train in both Hypopressives and as a Restore Your Core ® teacher. Further training means Sarah is now qualified to teach Yogalates.
“ Completing a 80 hour Yogalates course has allowed for the addition of Pilates exercises to be built into the Women’s Wellness Yoga classes, bringing in a complimentary dimension for strength and stability. I want to empower women to have the tools to take ownership of their wellness, to feel and move better, both on the mat and in their everyday lives.”
