Since her school days, she has been passionately involved in mindfulness, meditation and yoga, with her amazing PE teacher Mrs Jennet.

To widen her knowledge she lived, taught and practiced whilst traveling in India, Cambodia, China, Thailand, Burma, Nepal, Australia, Bali and France with teachers such as the Dali lama, lama Zopa Rinpoche,  Swami Veda etc. It was when she lived in Plum Village she felt that she had found her true home. 

Sarah had always explored alternative ways to improve her and others health such as food and holistic therapies as is tradition in Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine. But after teaching her first class she was destined to look more deeply into the application of mindfulness, meditation and yoga, as her students had been referred from her doctor and chiropractor, for a variety of mental, emotional and physical reasons. Since that time she has a huge range of students with different needs, conditions and abilities. She has worked with SEN needs in a variety of support settings and is an Autism Ambassador for Hampshire County Council, In addition, has worked all levels of formal education and with the home educated community- And trained both teachers and yoga teachers.
