Background
Sarah completed her 200-hour teacher training in 2022 at Be Hot Yoga Atlanta. Originally from Austin, TX, Sarah started her Bikram yoga practice in 2006. The yoga stuck with her immediately and continues to inspire her everyday. As a clinical pharmacist specialist in the ICU, Sarah sees firsthand the toll of acute and chronic illnesses. She believes that medications are but a small fraction of treatment; the more intangible therapeutics – like diet, exercise, psychotherapy, family support – make up the rest. Sarah hopes to further unlock the mind-body benefits of yoga in the medical realm and universalize the practice of yoga as a treatment modality.
