Sarah Brecknock has been practicing yoga for nine years.
Initially, she began practicing as a way to relax, but is now a fervent
believer in the physical and emotional benefits of practicing yoga, in
addition to the mental benefits. The roots of her yoga journey lie in
Kripalu yoga. Through Kripalu yoga, Sarah learned how powerful a
gentle physical practice, coupled with meditation and breathing
techniques, could be on self-reflection. Kripalu yoga offered Sarah an
ideal respite from the stressors of everyday life and provided insight on
how best to manage her stress and anxiety.
Upon moving to Portsmouth, NH, Sarah wanted to continue with her yoga
practice and stumbled upon Ashtanga yoga. For approximately 2 years,
she practiced Ashtanga exclusively at O2, focusing on how to challenge
herself physically. Through her Ashtanga practice, she deepened her
awareness of how flexibility, stamina, and strength can help detoxify the
body, and thus improve mental and emotional clarity.
After moving to the Dover, NH area, Sarah was introduced to Dover
Yoga where she was a student for several years, practicing not only
Ashtanga, but other styles as well. As her practice broadened, her
interest in yoga philosophy, history, and mechanics grew. As a result,
she enrolled in the 200 hour Yoga of Energy Flow Teacher Training with
Carrie Tyler and Daniel Orlansky. Her original intent was simply to
enhance her practice and her understanding of yoga, but after
completing the training in 2007, she enrolled immediately in the 40 hour
Rasamaya® Teacher Training with Carrie Tyler. After completing the 40
hour training, she began teaching at Dover Yoga, focusing primarily on
teaching Rasamaya® classes.
Sarah believes that Rasamaya® yoga offers the best of both worlds, a
perfect balance between structure and flow, the physical and the
emotional. It is a style of yoga that is beneficial to almost every body
type, age, and personality. Most recently, Sarah began working closely
with Carrie Tyler to expand the Rasamaya® system; she is involved with
the Rasamaya® Teach Trainings, helping to develop training materials,
curriculum, and run training sessions.
