biography

	sarah ewing robinette During my adolescent and teenage years I participated on swimming, basketball, volleyball and softball teams. There in Kentucky, my roots, I found a love for fitness and health. These loves lead me to the beautiful mountains in Flagstaff, Arizona, where I completed my Bachelor’s Degree in Sociology, minoring in Psychology, at Northern Arizona University. Flagstaff is where I discovered the life changing practice of Yoga. I have enjoyed working with people of all ages, backgrounds and abilities. I worked in Tucson and Flagstaff as a Special Education mentor and advocate. Upon moving to San Francisco, I began integrating my yoga studies with my Special Education work. As a P.E. teacher at a private school for special needs students, I developed and implemented a P.E. curriculum with techniques of behavior/anger management skills, individualized learning styles and techniques put forth by Yoga Ed™.
	In San Francisco I completed my Master of Arts in Integral Psychology at John F. Kennedy University. During my graduate studies I volunteered at a number of community organizations. Most notably, I provided women’s emotional health yoga classes at a domestic violence shelter. I have been teaching ongoing yoga classes and workshops throughout California, Oregon and Washington. I specialize in Pre and Post Natal Yoga Classes. These classes allow for me to network with other child birthing and childcare communities, in order to raise awareness about birthing/parenting and connect mothers and families.

	Recently I was welcomed on to the path of motherhood. The most amazing accomplishment I have achieved this far. My passion for social change has been fueled by my greatest teacher yet, my son, Isaac M.J. I am an advocate for the empowerment of people, and find that my strength lies with rights of passage into motherhood. I believe this makes me a valuable community resource for women and families. I continue to study with senior yoga practitioners and academia thinkers because the exploration of mind, body and spirit is a lifelong practice.
