  • has this past year been too busy to grieve some sort of loss in an earnest & genuine way?

  • do you also feel like the 2020s so far have been exceptionally unmooring, leaving you craving clarity & connection more than ever?

  • do you want to wrap this holiday season feeling nourished rather than depleted?

     Sarah Clark began teaching dance, creative experimentation & strength and conditioning in the late 1990s.  She danced professionally in New York City from 2004-2011.  In NYC, Sarah went on to study and teach yoga, buddha dharma, nervous system literacy, and writing-- which she also studied as an undergraduate.  Her writing has been published in various mindfulness arenas, including Yoga Journal.  She is lit up by communal + experimental + embodied spaces.  She loves pulling from these many aspects of her training & passions to offer unique worlds in which to wonder and discover.
