PhD | E-RYT | YACEP+ Cognitive Scientist, Yoga Teacher, Reiki Master & Coach

Join her class 'Journey Through the Chakras' at 2pm in the Axis Yoga Studio space. It is a 75-minute workshop that will guide students through the seven major energy centers of the body (aka chakras). You can expect a blend of grounding yoga postures, invigorating breath practices, energy-activating kriya, and a few empowering affirmations. This class will leave you feeling awake, alive, and at the edge of Ananda (bliss).

Sarah is a cognitive scientist, experienced yoga and meditation instructor, energy healer, ceremonialist, activist, and perhaps the most enthusiastic student you’ll ever meet.

She has spent the last 25 years studying human cognition, behavior, and spirituality through both psychological and yogic lenses. She earned my PhD in Cognitive Sciences from Georgia State University in 2013, and in the same year completed her 200-hour yoga teacher certificatsion. After several years of teaching yoga throughout the US and abroad, Sarah then went on to become a Reiki Master and ceremonialist.

Since that time, she has built an online yoga and life coaching business, as well as a full-service research department that studies the cognitive underpinnings of human decision-making across an array of domains (e.g., healthy living, political activity, consumer donation and purchase behavior, and eco-activism, to name a few). Her research and writing have been featured in several high impact journals (Memory & Cognition, Applied Cognitive Psychology, Intl. Journal for the Psychology of Religion), as well as various popular online publications (Yoga Trade, Elephant Journal, Fox Business News).

When Sarah is not analyzing data or moving around on her yoga mat I can be found advocating for clean water policies with the Surfrider Foundation or hanging out amongst the sand and waves, with her joyful pup, Moonstar.
