Sarah Nuttridge

Sarah (Sare) is a full-time Yoga Therapist, Level 2 Registered Yoga Teacher, Associate Trainer, and Energy Healer (Sound and Reiki). She educates and empowers people who are seeking health and wellness through the exploration Yoga.

Sare started regular attendance in Power Yoga and Yin Yoga classes from 2012, when she found out she had Osteoarthritis. Mindfulness and meditation had been introduced to her some years before, but this is when she started to attend up to four times a week because she could feel the benefits. The yoga classes made a difference for her by improving her mobility and reducing potential flare ups.

After more than six years of teaching and over 10 years of personal practice, Sare's method of teaching yoga is one of accessibility, exploration and metta. That last word, Metta, is Sanskrit for loving kindness. For example, practicing loving kindness and compassion to ourselves when we’re in our yoga practice can be nurturing for the body, mind and soul.

In Yoga Therapy, her work is centred around persistent and chronic medical conditions. From Sare's personal experience of Osteoarthritis (OA), Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) and Breast Cancer, and experiences of close family and friends, this work has great importance to her.

As an Associate Trainer for Yoga Trinity, Sare finds great enjoyment in teaching to the next generation of yoga teachers. In the face to face component with her, students cover things such as functional anatomy, go in-depth with a range of physical postures, and explore the many ways we can make yoga accessible for all.

You will also find Sare teaching public group classes at a few locations around Canberra (see Teaching Locations & Timetable) and she usually carries a collection of instruments for some relaxing sounds when it comes to resting at the end of a class. Although, a full sound bath event is divine and not to be missed when one happens!
