Embodied Yoga with Sarit

Embodied Yoga with Sarit

 
My journey to yoga was peppered with starts and stops, aversion, fear, failed attempts, curiosity, trauma, injury, recovery, and chronic illness. Yoga taught me how to pull up my bootstraps and try again. It taught me how to weep into the porous rubber of my mat, laugh uncontrollably in warrior 2, dance like my life depended on it, breathe with intention, and befriend the shadow within me.
 
I have worked extensively with people in recovery, both individually and in small groups; I have immersed myself in the lives of high-schoolers and middle schoolers, teaching them to self-regulate, breathe, meditate, and move; I have taught in Juvenile Hall, at-risk community centers, rehabs, and meditation retreats. The similarity between all of these populations is trauma, suffering, courage, and most important: resiliency.
 
I integrate Somatic Experiencing® techniques into my teaching, guiding students toward a more grounded, resilient state of aliveness. My own experience has taught me that yoga and meditation are modalities for healing: Our breath is our medicine, our willingness is our strength, and the two are one way in which we can take flight.
 
 
 
 
 
Why private yoga sessions?
A private session will give you the opportunity to gain a practice designed just for you. We will create a space to cultivate self-care, relaxation, strength, healing and freedom within your practice. For some, this might  be the first time discovery of a personal practice!
In a private session, you have the freedom to ask questions and investigate new things. The only requirement is the your presence and a willingness to breathe.

Are you working with injury?
Injury can be a scary thing, especially when you go from active to being suddenly “paused.” However, injury or illness doesn’t have to stop you in your tracks. I injured my shoulder and had surgery in 2015. As a result, my practice shifted from strong vinyasa practices to a slowed down practice of self-care and grounded asana. It was transformative. A one-armed warrior 2 or 3 empowered me and made me feel alive, while a bolstered savasana was profoundly nurturing. Injury gave me the opportunity to look deeper within. I believe we can create an Accessible, trauma-informed practice to connect and sustain you.

Are large classes overwhelming?
Sometimes walking into a large class can feel like too much. Truth be told, I used to avoid them like the plague! It took me years of home practice and videos to finally get over that fear. With private yoga sessions, you can investigate what you like and don’t like and dip your toes into this sacred practice, making it fit your needs. It would be an honor to guide you in this process!

Do  you want to cultivate a deeper, more embodied practice?
We are all unique, with different needs, wants, and desires, along with our own native skeletal and muscular architecture. We will create a private yoga session designed to support YOU.

I approach each person with compassion and kindness, bearing witness to you as the unique person that you are. Yoga has the wonderful ability to crack our hearts open in a profoundly healing way.
