Anne S

Sarah first discovered yoga and meditation in college, where she realized the practice was teaching her something she’d never really learned—how to truly relax. Yoga helped her settle her mind, focus more clearly, and move through the intensity of early adulthood with greater steadiness.

Traveling to Southern India later on deepened her practice and curiosity. After completing a month-long silent retreat, something shifted. The clarity and transformation she experienced there inspired her to share these practices with her community.

An athlete at heart, Sarah loves trail running, swimming, strength training, and yoga. She discovered that pairing mindful movement with daily meditation created a deep sense of grounding—especially during major life transitions.

Influenced by the teachings of Judith Hanson Lasater, PhD, physical therapist and yoga teacher, Sarah blends anatomy-informed wisdom with a restorative, down-to-earth style. She completed her 200-hour RYT with Mark Stevens and continues to study meditation, experiential anatomy, and mindful movement.

Sarah is known for her slower, intuitive coaching approach, non-judgmental presence, and ability to help clients develop body awareness, movement confidence, and a steadier inner landscape—whether someone is new to yoga, returning after injury, or navigating stress or life transitions.

While she has years of experience leading large group classes, Sarah is most inspired by individual coaching. Private sessions allow her to understand each person’s story, adapt in real time, and help clients connect with the heart of yoga and meditation: relaxed awareness, resilience, and steadier inner ground.

There are a lot of yoga offerings in Eugene which I think is awesome. I am not sure if anyone is doing what Sarah is offering at Zenith, that being, individualized yoga/ meditation. Having taken group classes with Sarah at the Y, when I learned that she had relocated to Zenith, I jumped in and am so happy I did. It has amazed me how different the experience is to work with someone with so much knowledge and such a lovely manner. I have a variety of previous injuries, medical issues and current concerns that she gets and works with me accordingly. She provides “yoga snacks”, quick little moves you can do on you own based on what you have done with her in person. In addition, the fact that she is part of the Zenith team is great as there is coordination with the PTs, massage therapists and personal trainers. I think I am correct in saying that she offers a free first session (and a handmade eye pillow) which is a great way to see if this might be for you!
