Sara Liz

Modalities: Yoga, QiGong,

Sara Liz is a soothing, enthusiastic soul who spends her time at SanKtuary as a teacher and a student of life. She is passionate about the spiritual universality of the science of yoga, which has been a major healing force in her own life. Given the powerful impact of yoga in her life, she is honored to have the opportunity to share the gift of yoga with students of all ages and abilities.

With graditute for the wisdom and guidance of her teachers, Sara Liz is inspired to share her yogic understandings and life experiences with you in peaceful and uplifting yoga classes. Her style of teaching is infused with flavors of Kripalu, Kundalini and Ashtanga yoga traditions.

Sara Liz’s YogaKidz awakens the true spirit of each child through lighthearted and imaginative yoga. These classes foster self-connection and build self-esteem while teaching children how to regulate their energy levels as they strenghten their sense of self-worth. She has experienced the other benefits of yoga for children including improved academic performance, physical fitness, emotional balance and reducing fear.

In Sara Liz’s Blue Dragon QiGong (“chee gung”), sometimes referred to as Chinese Yoga, she teaches the preventative, self-healing form of this Chinese medicine. It is both an art and science utilizing breath techniques, movement and meditation to cleanse, streagthen, circulate and balance life energy or “qi” in the body.

Outside of SanKtuary she can be found providing therapy for children with developmental delays and behavior disorders for a local mental health agency. For her, therapy is about connection, mutual respect, education, service and playfulness. In therapy, in class and in life, she approaches each child (and adult) from a developmental, relational and individual standpoint honoring the innocent, resilient, uninhibited spirit that lies at the core of each person.

Sara Liz is also in the midst of developing a yoga program for children with Autism Spectrum Disorders.

She also enjoys sharing the awesome power of the hands-on healing energy of Reiki.
