Randy Watson

Vice President UBS Financial Services

Montgomery, Alabama

I was introduced to Sarah (and yoga), 8 months after surviving a plane crash in April/2014, sustaining multiple neuromuscular injuries. My most serious injury was an L-1 burst fracture and fractures in T-11 thru L-2. I am fused from L-10 thru L-3. After several months of physical therapy, personal training and swimming I relearned to walk. Sarah introduced me to yoga to work on flexibility, balance and core strength. Sarah’s influence on my recovery was immediate both physically and mentally. I required a good deal of alignment initially and Sarah was immensely patient and understanding. Her calm and caring demeanor made each session very rewarding. I will always be indebted to Sarah for the heart and soul that she so genuinely put into my recovery.

Stuttgart, Germany

Helping people heal on the inside so they can express their natural state of health on the outside is what Sarah does best. What sets her apart is the love she expresses for others and Waterfall Yoga is an embodiment of who she is as a person. She takes into account her clients’ mental state, lifestyle, and habits and then helps them to alleviate physical and mental suffering through yoga. Sarah helped me let go of some long standing fears and become active again in a short time after experiencing severe back pain. Her non-judgmental attitude, professionalism, and high emotional intelligence make her classes and private sessions a joy to attend.

Waterfall Yoga Therapy with Sarah helped me find my way back into my body after years of dissociation related to injuries, anxiety, and depression. I struggle with chronic pain, executive dysfunction, and intrusive thoughts that seem to keep me from achieving my goals, but Sarah gave me the tools to better integrate my mind and body so I can be the best version of myself. Through yoga, breath work, meditation, EFT, and self-exploration, I learned to manage my pain, calm my nerves, honor my emotions, and reconnect with my power.

Wendy Mills

Retired

Wichita, Kansas

Working with Sarah has been a truly transformational experience for me. I started practicing yoga and taking better care of myself when I retired, but I struggled with shoulder pain that just wouldn’t go away. When I learned that my amazing yoga teacher, Sarah, was also a yoga therapist, I signed up to do a course of yoga therapy with her. I expected some wonderfully relaxing private yoga sessions, but it was so much more than that. Sarah was able to identify and treat the root causes of my shoulder pain and virtually eliminate it. The course of yoga therapy improved my sleep, my fitness, and my digestion.

About Yoga Therapy

What is Somatics?

Somatic healing is an approach that blends the principles of somatics (mind-body integration), yoga, neuroscience, applied psychophysiology, and psychology. This includes personalized assessment, goal setting, lifestyle & stress management, and practices that meet you where you are on your pain journey. You can change your pain with somatics through the release of chronically contracted muscles and retrain the posture and movement patterns that are causing your pain from the neurological level.

The yoga therapy model assesses clients from a holistic perspective—physically, emotionally, energetically, intellectually, and spiritually, rather than considering each body part or system separately. Yoga therapy complements other forms of treatment and empowers clients to reach specific goals and needs, despite limitations, to facilitate healing and optimize well-being. Watch Video
