Yoga Therapy for Scoliosis

Sarah cut her teeth with the most complicated cases in Yoga Therapy: Scoliosis. With thousands of clinical hours mapping and improving curves, no one has a sharper eye for understanding the postural and movement complexity of scoliosis.

Sarah combines the best principles and practices from the approaches with the most radiographic evidence: the Schroth Method, Dr. Fishman's Method, with the Therapeutic Wisdom inherent in Alignment yoga. Read more about Sarah's approach here.

Yoga for Hypermobility Strength Stability Therapy with Sarah Evanston Illinois

Yoga for Hypermobility

Many clients don't know if they are hypermobile or not. A strange combination of feeling tight or stiff with getting injured easily, hypermobile folks are instinctively drawn to yoga's emphasis on stretching.

My approach to Yoga Therapy allows hypermobile students to stabilize their joints, add safety to pain-relieving stretches and build strength at a pace that is tolerable.

Therapeutic Yoga for Equestrians

As a professional dressage trainer for over a decade, horse owner and rider of 27 years, Sarah understands the demands on a rider's body.

As a Yoga Therapist, Sarah helps riders meet their unique athletic demands: a following seat, quiet hands and legs, a relaxed demeanor and confident leadership.

Yoga is perfect for addressing the practical, emotional and spiritual relationship between horse and rider. Private and group sessions available at your barn or at Heartwood.
