Sarah Lakey

Yoga Pearl, Yoga Union

Sarah grew up in the White Mountains of Northern New Hampshire where she developed a passion for dance. She has studied and performed in Boston, New York, San Diego, Colorado and most recently Salt Lake City, where she recieved her B.F.A. in Ballet Performance from the University of Utah. Dance has brought a dynamic array of experiences and opportunities into Sarah's life.

At 23 Sarah discovered yoga as a means for balancing the demands of the professional dance world. Now yoga is as much a part of her life as dance has been, and the two weave together in a dynamic balance of movement and meditation. Sarah is certified in the Baptiste method of yoga through Dana Baptiste, who inspired Sarah to become a yoga instructor. She enjoyed teaching Power Vinyasa, Restore, Core and Pranayama at Dana's studio, Centered City Yoga, in Salt Lake City, Utah.

Sarah is currently thrilled to call Portland home, where she dances in a creative and fulfilling environment with Polaris Dance Theatre. She also keeps busy teaching a variety of yoga classes and workshops at Yoga Pearl, Yoga Union and Root whole body. Sarah's style in teaching and in life is filled with passion, beauty and courage.
