11 Feb Sarah Haynes 200 HR Registered Yoga Teacher, 38 HR Yin Yoga Teacher, 500 HR Iyengar Training, Level 1 &2 Reiki Practitioner, Yoga For First Responders Teacher, doTERRA AromaTouch Technique, E-RYT 200 Yoga Alliance Continuing Education Provider, 1000+ Teaching Hours Since starting her professional Yoga business InRoot LLC in 2017, Sarah has coached over 1000 hours of alignment and prop-based yoga. She joined Rain City Fitness in 2018. Through the years, Sarah has created Function Yoga, a practice built on a strong foundation of safety and awareness that supports your long-term mobility and health. Functional Yoga creates body proprioception (an understanding of your bodies location, movements, and actions) while nurturing mobility that you then apply to your life off your mat. During my first teacher training I was experiencing the depth of my depression. Through yoga I found a space that sustains healing and nurtures self-love. I am grateful for going through depression because it gave me the empathy used in teaching my clients. Yoga is an inward evolution. I honor where you are in the moment with no expectation or judgment. I hold this space for you while showing you how to practice greeting yourself with the same compassion. I find that my calling in life is to be of service to others through holistic techniques and traditions. My goal is to leave you relaxed, rejuvenated, empowered and in control every time. “Your body is not you, but it is yours.” In Gratitude, Sarah Haynes Find Sarah on Instagram @inroot.today
