Sarah, an Anusara-Inspired teacher, is delighted by the joyful heart of Anusara Yoga. She teaches her students how to tap into their innate strength through kindness and patience with themselves and others.

Sarah first found Anusara and Elena Brower at Virayoga, NYC in 2003 and fell in love with the practice, teachers, and students. She completed the Anusara Level I Teacher Training in Fall 2007 with Zhenja LaRosa at Virayoga, NYC; the Anusara Level II Teacher Training in Fall 2008 with John Friend in Boston; the Therapeutics training in Spring 2009 with John Friend in Asheville, NC; and A Time to Align prenatal teacher training with Sue Elkind in Burlington, Ontario in Spring 2010.

Sarah moved to the village of Scottsville, NY in 2009 and teaches several class in the Rochester, NY area. She lives with her husband, Daniel Stevens, a jeweler and sculptor, and with her three rescued dogs, Kyniska, Ceilia, and Penelope.

Sarah is eternally grateful to all the teachers and students she has met
(and will meet) on this path.

Some say that my teaching is nonsense.
Others call it lofty but impractical.
But to those who have looked inside themselves,
this nonsense makes perfect sense.
And to those who put it into practice,
this loftiness has roots that go deep.

I have just three things to teach:
simplicity, patience, compassion.
These three are your greatest treasures.
Simple in actions and in thoughts,
you return to the source of being.
Patient with both friends and enemies,
You accord with the way things are.
Compassionate toward yourself,
you reconcile all beings in the world.
— Lao Tzu
