In the spring of 2004, Sarah walked into her first Ashtanga yoga class and noticed an immediate sense of coming home. Through dedicated practice and daily meditation, Sarah discovered a powerful antidote for her persistent depression and anxiety.

In 2009, Sarah met Eza King, who would later become her mentor. Eza introduced Sarah to AcroYoga—an enchanting fusion of yoga, acrobatics, and Thai massage. (Fun fact: Eza is the namesake for Sarah’s youngest daughter!)

In 2011, Sarah completed her 200-hour yoga teacher training at 8 Limbs Yoga Centers. This journey paved the way for her to share ancient yoga philosophies through teaching restorative and Hatha classes and firmly rooted her commitment to nurture a mindful connection between body, mind, and soul for holistic healing and well-being.

That commitment along with Sarah’s natural intuitive ability lead her to become a trained and certified Usui Shiki Ryoho Reiki practitioner under the guidance of renowned Reiki Master, Daisy Thompson at Northwest Healing Studio. Currently, Sarah trains with Daisy in advanced energy healing methods and as an evidential medium. Sarah also trains with expert sound healer Sara Auster in sound healing and sound bath facilitation.

In 2023, Sarah founded Crown Yoga Shala to provide a community space to practice yoga, meditation, and other forms of healing. The Shala opened in October 2023 to a large membership base and continues to thrive.

At the Shala, Sarah teaches meditation and facilitates sound baths.

At home, Sarah is a girl-mom, a potter, painter, and has a deep love for cats (and raccoons!). Professionally, Sarah’s career is in higher ed human resources management and wealth management recruiting. She is thrilled to run the studio and finds immense joy in this second chapter of life.
