About

Hi there! I'm Sara Arends Haggith.

A student recently asked me, "After your first few yoga classes, why'd you keep going?"

Ah yes, my first classes... I signed up for a semester of Introduction to Iyengar Yoga in college. As we moved through standing poses each week, my legs trembled, trying to hold me up.

I was a college student who lived in my head. And starting to move in new ways and take up physical space in this body was so challenging and painful. The pain of outgrowing who I'd been and literally stretching into the future.

So, what did keep me coming back again and again?

It was Śavāsana.

During that first semester, I glimpsed a calm, a peace, an inner silence, like I'd never experienced. It felt like a return to something beautiful. A remembering.

Over the past 20 years, this practice has ebbed and flowed through the seasons of my life: pregnancy, postpartum, hundreds of menstrual cycles, changes in my physical body... the practice evolving with me throughout life.

I'm a Certified Iyengar Yoga Teacher (Level 2 CIYT from the Iyengar Yoga National Association of the US.) And I've been teaching since 2012.

Over the years, I've come to learn that I am my own best teacher. Just as you are yours.

Connecting with your body and mind and emotions through movement, action, and breath creates space to slow down, pause, and observe what's here right now. And from there, we can take the next step.

🖖🏻✌🏻
