Sarah Claussen is a devoted student to the practice of yoga and continues to study, maintaining a beginners mind. Her teaching style is influenced with hints of classical Hatha and Ashtanga Yoga, integrated through an energizing Vinyasa flow. Her study began 7 years ago were she instantly fell in love with the practice of yoga. With a deep inspiration from the Ashtanga Yoga series, she completed a 40hr. teacher training led by renowned practitioner David Swenson in 2005. Then continuing studies, she completed a RYT 200 hr. level teacher training in 2006 with Peachtree Yoga and is registered through the Yoga Alliance. She has attended various yoga conferences and workshops such as the Omega New York yoga conference where she was fortunate to practice with teachers Baron Baptise, Shiva Rea, Rajashree Choudhury and Rodney Yee, which greatly influence her style. Sarah offers a friendly atmosphere and encourages her students to tune in and practice with awareness. She maintains an element of traditionalism by speaking pose names in English and Sanskrit the ancient language of yoga. She welcomes anyone from a beginner to longtime practitioner to come awaken the body and mind with yoga!
