YOGA THERAPY WITH SARAH WESTBROOK
THE YOGA MAP
Yoga Therapy to Find Your Way
Services & Specialities
Sarah's therapeutic expertise is unparalleled. Rarely will you find a movement professional that can combine such in-depth anatomical knowledge with compassionate listening and strategic problem solving. And each client is regarded as unique, with unique needs.
Yoga 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
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.
​
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.
Yoga Therapy Privates
The gold standard. When group classes just don't cut it, nothing beats the one on one customization, skilled attention and freedom to relax like a private with Sarah.
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.

Contact Sarah to discuss your needs.
Therapeutic Yoga Group Classes
A rare opportunity: a drop-in therapeutic group class accessible to all levels. To have a Yoga Therapist guiding your practice means safer sequencing, adaptations for an array of conditions and adjustments for all body shapes, sizes and abilities.
Yoga Therapy Workshops
Offered just a few times a year, Sarah's workshops integrate the cutting edge of Movement Science with updated yoga poses, sequencing and insight.
