Sara’s parenting journey began in 2014 when she and her family awaited the arrival of their son, Gabriel. At 37 weeks, Gabriel passed away unexpectedly, changing those that loved him forever. The grief, loss, sadness, and shock felt overwhelming at times. But the support from family and friends as well as the gratitude for Gabriel’s life and light helped to get through the initial months and year. ⁣
⁣
2016 brought Sara’s second child, Emma. The pregnancy with Emma was filled with gratitude, but also filled with anxiety and worry. With support from a high risk medical team, family and friends, Emma came safely into the world. Not a day goes by that Sara does not think about Gabriel and the gifts his life has provided. ⁣

I started my yoga practice about 20 years ago and although it was sporadic, it has gradually become part of my everyday life. I seemed to be drawn back to my mat during stressful times and realized yoga is an essential part of creating balance in my life. I started my first 200 hour Yoga Teacher Training after experiencing my second miscarriage, which was a catalyst to take my life on a different path.

I now try to fit a little yoga practice into every day, even if it’s just taking a few moments to belly breathe, focus on mindful meditation, or move through a series of yoga postures. The physical and mental strength, balance and flexibility learned in yoga are infused throughout my day.

I love teaching with a focus on organic, functional movement, building a yoga practice to enhance everyday life. For anyone accessing services at the Pregnancy and Infant Loss Support Centre, I hope my experience with loss helps me guide yoga classes that can be of help to you as you move through your own. Each person in a yoga class is at a different place in their journey and I am so honoured to be a part of it.
