Sara

I won’t let go of: Morning coffee. Wherever I am and whatever I’m doing, my mornings always start by calming down with a cup of coffee. It’s a whole ritual.

I get inspired by: Music, traveling, and people. Time spent offline. I enjoy everything beautiful around me and as a creative introvert, I need and crave solitude.

Teaching style: Challenging with a gentle undertone. Specific. Encouraging a deeper body connection.

First touch with yoga: A hot yoga class at the gym in 2013

A book that changed my life: Eeva Kolu’s ‘Korkeintaan vähän väsynyt’, which perfectly reflects this time and made the recovering perfectionist in me laugh out loud.

Sara is a yoga, yin yoga, and barre teacher. Her classes combine the best of yoga (slowing down and tuning your attention inward) with the best of barre (having a little bit of fun with it).

Loyal to the style of barre she has studied in Spain, Sara’s classes focus on music, community and not being afraid to challenge the body.

Depending on the class type, in Sara’s class you will get to go out of your comfort zone, or ground down and enjoy all the comforts of a softer practice. 

Functional movement is always at the heart of Sara’s classes, and there is always room for a joke, a few (dozen) push-ups, or a nice resting pause in balasana.

At Roots, Sara is also in charge of marketing and communications.

Sara teaches in Finnish and English.
