Yoga
Sarah's initial connection with yoga began when she was aged 15 years. In 2007, after many years of practising Sarah travelled to India to train as a teacher in the tradition of Swami Sivananda and graduated as a Yoga Teacher from the Sivananda Yoga & Vedanta Dhanwantari Centre in Kerala, India, March 2007.
Her Sivananda-based Hatha Yoga classes include savasana (relaxation), meditation, pranayama (breathing techniques), surya namaskara (sun salutations) and a flowing sequence of traditional asanas (postures) to encourage health, flexibility, peace of mind and awareness. Sarah teaches with a clear, calm and encouraging approach and all levels are welcome.

Yoga and IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome)
Drawing on my own experience of IBS, and the research from my book; Irritable Bowel Syndrome: The Essential Guide (£8.99, Forward Press, Need-2-Know Series) I’m running workshops based on the ancient wisdom of yoga as a tool to help heal stress-related conditions such as IBS.
Learn which yoga asanas can help reduce wind, increase peristalsis and digestion, master relaxation and visualisation techniques which will help reduce - and even reverse - IBS symptoms.
