“The only way of discovering the limits of the possible is to venture a little way past them into the impossible.” -Arthur C. Clarke
Sara has taught yoga to the public, to prisoners, and to specialized professional groups since 2004. In addition to completing her teacher training at Yogaview, she has also studied with many of the great teachers of our time, including Matthew Sanford (Adaptive Yoga), Andrey Lappa, Gary Kraftsow, Rod Stryker, and others. Sara’s classes are playful and dancerly, and they venture out into the realm of the impossible! She enjoys encouraging students at all levels to expand their perceptions of what they can do. As a performance anthropologist, Sara has traveled and conducted field research in Vietnam, Thailand, Indonesia; with the Tibetan exile community in northern India; with practitioners of an indigenous martial art, kalarippayattu, in South India; and with Illinois prisoners practicing yoga. She is the author of three books that deal with the meaning and functions of the body in culture; has taught at Esalen Institute in Big Sur, California, and is an Associate Professor in the National College of Education at National Louis University. As a theatre writer and director, she is working on a new play, American Yogi.
