Yoga Classes & Events
Yoga is not just about being flexible, it is about building grace and strength so we can face the world with courage and equanimity.
I teach yoga programmes, special events and retreats for inquisitive students wishing to deepen both their self-knowledge and their understanding of yoga.
Sarah Kekus – Yoga Teacher
I just love to move… and yoga has definitely helped me as an active person, especially as a climber; but it has become so much more than just physical support, it has become a way of life and has played a part in shaping my personal philosophies.
Moving with breath awareness calms our nervous system and brings both physical and mental steadiness. But, over time, the more we breathe, the more we feel; we find a deeper connection with our inner world, which then helps us to connect more deeply with the world and people around us.
I first became captivated by Ashtanga; I was drawn to this challenging practise and liked the discipline. But my journey has led me towards more creative movement and sequencing that speak to both body and emotional intelligence.
By happy accident I met Simon Park a few years ago at the Chamonix Yoga Festival – learning from him has brought the greatest change to my own practice and teaching. I fell in love with his fluid wave sequencing and I’ve been inspired by his poetic approach.
My classes are carefully curated – offering soulful experiences that help us reconnect with our inner-most self. There is challenge, humour, and “backchat” too but amongst all this you’ll find sincere teaching, plus you can always be assured of a warm welcome.
In addition to Simon, I have many other incredible teachers to thank for their inspiration and guidance including David Swenson, Kino Macgregor, Dany Sa, Laruga Glaser, Claire Missingham, Noelle Connolly, Joan Hyman and Julee Yew-Crijns.

Class Descriptions
Sarah offers a variety of yoga classes to suit all different abilities and aspirations. Below you’ll find class descriptions of each class on the timetable to help you choose a class that is perfect for you:
Liquid Flow
This class will have you on your toes and dancing with your breath as you move through beautiful, fluid sequences set to ever-changing uplifting playlists. Creatively choreographed and embracing the freedom of movement, these classes flow seamlessly with shifting tempos encompassing the mesmerising force of a mountain waterfall or the giddy chuckling of a melt-water stream to the steady, much slower, deep flow of a valley river. With an emphasis on graceful movement, that feels good, you’ll find that resistance dissolves as you immerse yourself in your practise and deepen your mind-body connection.
Fierce Warrior Flow
Redefine your practise and develop a leaner, stronger physique in this full-body workout! Infused with a sassy, sometimes fiery, warrior spirit this is a continuous flow, creatively linking sequences that demand grace, strength, balance and flexibility. With some more advanced poses “thrown in”, this class offers a challenging progression that tests endurance and builds stamina against a backdrop of carefully curated playlists!
Yoga for Sport – Body Aligned Functional Yoga
Emphasising flexibility, stability and strength, this class aims to improve range and quality of movement, reduce aches and pains and improve posture through carefully realignment. The class is aimed at athletes keen to improve their sports performance but it is equally suited to those suffering from the “wear and tear” of everyday life. As a climber and outdoor enthusiast, Sarah frequently draws on her own experiences (and mishaps!), offering a “down to earth” approach to keeping supple, managing common niggles and keeping injuries at bay! This is a very inclusive class, suitable for complete beginners.
Yoga Fundamentals for Beginners
Building on the teaching material that has been shared in my Yoga Fundamentals for Sport Workshops, “beginners “classes are aimed at those new to yoga seeking to improve range of movement, balance over and under-used muscles and increase core strength and stability. Spinal articulation (including shoulder girdle), injury management and prevention will also be covered.
Yoga Sculpt and Flow
Combining the energetic “movement meditation” of strong flow with targeted body conditioning this class offers both fat-burning and body conditioning benefits. The classes are designed to sculpt and strengthen arms, shoulders and upper backs whilst also creating lean abs through targeted core work. Well-defined muscles will boost your metabolism so you burn more calories and transform your physique!
Ashtanga
Ashtanga is a dynamic, traditional yoga system that combines breath with movement. Poses are linked in a set sequence, which targets different systems of the body and mind. The general Ashtanga classes offer the fundamental essence of this practice — breath, movement and sequence. You will be guided throughout and the pace will be adapted to the students that attend. Everyone is welcome to attend this class, which will be taught in an inclusive way. Simply come with a sincere heart, a willingness to embrace traditional Samkhya and the discipline to meet challenges head on!
