Get to Know Us: Sarah Maxwell

Q: What do you love about teaching yoga?

One of my favorite ways of sharing the gift of presence in service to others is teaching yoga. This ancient Indian system provides a pathway toward self-actualization through practices that merge the physical and spiritual aspects of ourselves.

It gives me joy and purpose to share the traditions of yoga and mindfulness as ways of cultivating clarity, insight and equanimity. Together, we create a more harmonious world by allowing these practices to heal us from the inside out.

My classes are carefully curated to help you build strength, focus and balance on and off the mat. As a facilitator, I hold space for your personal journey of self-discovery and well-being, both individually and in community.

Q: What drew you to Yoga One?

My intuition! I’ve practiced and taught in many places over the years, and Yoga One holds a special feeling to me. Not only is the physical space gorgeous and filled with light, but the energy is welcoming, grounded and invites a sense of interconnectedness.

Perhaps you’ve heard me say that practicing yoga is coming home to yourself, and this aligns with the Yoga One ethos. I took a couple of classes in the early years at the original location, and then I stumbled upon the current location in 2023. As I peered in the window, I knew that I would teach here someday.

When my inner compass points me towards something, I trust that it will unfold at the right time. Two years later I was given the opportunity to join the powerful teaching staff at Yoga One, and here we are!

I teach regularly on Thursdays 5:30pm All Levels Flow and I love subbing for other teachers as needed so that I get to interact with more of our students.
