Sarah beale | yoga teacher & breathwork & soundhealer, reiki practitioner

Sarah is a Yoga Alliance Registered Yoga teacher, teaching Ashtanga, Yin, Kundalini and Hatha styles of yoga. Her current teaching style is very influenced by Qigong and the felt experience of energy flow.

She also teaches Pregnancy yoga, having trained with Dr Pooja Maddela in Auckland.

Sarah first discovered yoga with the Bikram hot method of yoga when she was 18, starting the practice mainly for the physical benefits it offered, and then along her yoga path she discovered Ashtanga yoga which was just as dynamic but was more of an internally heating practice & moving meditation. She began to fall in love with this yoga for the spiritual journey & its therapeutic benefits. She has practiced Ashtanga for the last 8 years, started teaching in 2014 and trained with Gregor Maehle & Monica Gauci from 8 Limbs Yoga Australia.

Sarah also practices other forms of yoga such as Yin and Kundalini, finding treasures in each method, and intuitively teaches based on the experience she has felt within herself. Sarah is dedicated to self-inquiry and personal/spiritual growth, always learning something new which she loves to share.  She teaches with compassion, warmth and humour, adapting each class, no matter what the style, to the students who are present in the room.  

Sarah is also a certified Breathwork Facilitator, having trained with SOSHA (School of Spiritual Healing Arts), a Cacao Ceremony facilitator (trained with Seleno Health), a Tibetan Bowl Sound-healer (trained with Chrystal Soundhealing) and an Intuitive Healer & Reiki Practitioner.

As a highly intuitive, empathic (and very sensitive emotional woman!), Sarah is super driven to help people understand and process their emotions fully and knows that all the methods she has been drawn to, ultimately lead back to this Quest. Deal with the emotion at the root cause in order that the body remains clear and healthy. This is why she studied Brainspotting and loves offering this modality as a gentle yet powerful and precise way to help people process their emotions from the past, in a safe way.

She is also training in Qigong with Willa from Elemental Alchemy. Yes, she rather loves learning and training!

Sarah is passionate about Ayurveda, Herbal remedies, Aromatherapy and anything which assists the body to heal itself

Sarah’s son Hernan is her greatest life teacher and is a little mini yogi himself.

She loves pouring her creative energy into, and holding space for the community of Hawkes Bay. Sarah organizes workshops & gatherings, facilitates Day retreats and loves appearing at markets and festivals.
