Sara Basile

Mati Yoga Studio

Sara discovered yoga in 2010 to cope with the stressors upon the completion of her undergraduate degree. Not long after her first class, she quickly fell in love with the asana practice, and the affirmative effects it had on her overall attitude. As someone who attempted many modalities of movement in adolescence, Sara knew yoga would soon become essential in life.Sara completed the YogaWorks 200-hour RYT certication and began teaching in 2017. She then completed the 500-hour advanced training with Jason Crandell in 2021, amongst a handful of other trainings with incredible teachers who have influenced her teaching. The approach Sara take to her classes is foundational, functional, and 100 % inclusive. With these components, we can take the yoga practice off the mat and make effective into the world.Sara believes that this practice is for all people in all communities. She welcomes everyone into a diverse space to create deeper connection with the self and to cultivate positive conviction in the world.  Sara aspires that her classes will leave you feeling embodied, impowered, and invigorated. What You Can Expect from Sara’s Classes“My education is influenced by the Vinyasa method, with a focus on linking breath with movement in a way that allows the body to fully connect to the offered asana postures. Although, I have become inspried by a variety of contributions from multipole yoga schools, including concepts from mediation and mindfulness practices. I ask students to challenge themselves during their practice through an approach that is compassionate and embodied. Giving students full agency to mindfully choose posture variations for their experience. Expect to feel challenged in a way that is strong, balanced, and explorative. It is my deep-held belief that yoga is not only a practice on the mat, but a way to live; it is about liberation. Liberation for everyone. It is my hope that my class is a space where people can come to connect with themselves and others.”
