Sarah Marsh ERYT, RPYT
Sarah discovered her passion for yoga during a very stressful year working in the film industry in Los Angeles. After a week of hot yoga classes, she knew yoga was her calling, and happily left the entertainment industry behind. She has been teaching yoga now for over three decades, and could not love it more. Inspired by her mentors Rodney Yee, Bikram Choudhury, Baron Baptiste, Richard Freeman, John Friend, and Deb Flashenberg, her teaching emphasizes safe practice, meticulous alignment, modifications, playful sequences, fun playlists, and the wisdom of the Sutras. Sarah specializes in Vinyasa, Prenatal and Postnatal yoga, as well as yoga for injuries and athletes. For the last twenty years, she has run Vinyasa and Pre/postnatal Yoga Alliance accredited Teacher Trainings, graduating over 600 teachers into the yoga world. She is excited to now be Co-Director of Powerflow Yoga Jersey City’s 200-hour Vinyasa Teacher Training. Sarah’s passion for yoga drives her to continue to teach every day, and she hopes now to practice and teach yoga for another three decades.
