Sarah offers yoga classes, inspired by Vanda Scaravelli with her focus on gravity, the spine and breath, that regulate your nervous system, support personal choice and a creative discovery of our body’s capacity for stretch, flexibility, strength and balance.
Classes explore gentle, often subtle, movements to build an embodied awareness, to explore the body’s intelligence in finding ease in how we move, so that the breath is fully present, and arrive in shapes that feel integrated to the whole.
Sarah creates a safe and welcoming space to reconnect with yourself (body and mind). Classes are inclusive and trauma-informed. This means that everyone is welcome, different options are offered and class attendees have agency to make choices about what works for them in finding ease and joy.
Series 1: From the Earth to the Sky starts Wednesday 9 & Thursday 10 September 2026 for six weeks. (Please note, there will be no classes on 14 & 15 October)
We will be exploring ideas and themes such as:
how the spine conspires with gravity both to connect us to the ground as well as reach us towards the sky, offering a feeling of rootedness as well as length and lift
how thoracic mobility supports other structures and systems in the body
exploring the shoulder and pelvis kinetic chain
the fundamental movements of the spine
letting go, opening and softening, unwinding tension from the body
how we restore balance
As usual in Sarah’s classes we will work with the felt sense and the breath, to understand how to find ease in movement.
There are currently 2 classes, one offered in-person in Nunhead, South East London, the other is offered online.

Why we come to yoga:
To notice patterns in how we breathe, move and hold ourselves in stillness
To reduce tension
To regulate our nervous system
To support our immunity, cognitive function and repair
To improve sleep
To reduce cortisol levels
To support and balance your energy
To know ourselves better and find clarity
What to expect:
Functional movement to support everyday life
Focusing on the spine, gravity and the breath
Gentle stretching and strengthening
Breath awareness, techniques, meditation
An inclusive space inviting you to move, rest, and reconnect
If we are pulling ourselves into shapes we are likely tensing and not breathing well, and this is not going to be soothing for the nervous system.
Instead let’s explore how movement feels in the body, with breathwork and yoga forms offering moments of deeper enquiry along the way, so that you are more connected to your body and more at ease in relation to yourself.
Space is given to finding joy in being rather than simply doing.
My desire is that you leave feeling calm, grounded, energised and alive.
Come to feel more like you
