March Workshop & Practice

Sarah Hayes

Co-Founder of Active Rest Retreats

Founder of Sarah Hayes Yoga

Sarah is a scientist-turned-yoga teacher who is passionate about inspiring and empowering others to live a life more rested, more sacred and more awake. Trained in vinyasa flow and pranayama (yogic breathwork), and with Ecology and Psychology degrees up her sleeve, Sarah provides an accessible-to-every-day-life and no-fluff approach to the worlds of yoga and spirituality. Practicing with Sarah is like a remembrance of your own self-authority, a deep dive into the intricacies of your breath and body, and a nurturing surrender to restoring connections to self and earth.

  • Thank you Sarah - I'm ready to take part in the next wonderful opportunity to connect with Country and be present in the moment with respect and love, one breath at a time.

  • I highly recommend allowing yourself to be guided by Sarah, whether that be in yoga or breath work or meditation or connecting with the great outdoors - or better still in all of the above! She has strong knowledge of the science behind the practice and connects us with this in a thoughtful inclusive way. Sarah gently encourages and supports others to take time to explore and be curious.
