Sara Reisenbichler, Yoga Teacher
Sara has been teaching yoga in and around Kansas City since 2016 when she completed her 200 hour Yoga Teacher Training with Max Strom. Sara’s classes focus on breathwork, safety and alignment, and most of all…FUN. She firmly believes that yoga is for everybody and every body. Sara hopes to see you in class where she says she learns as much from you as you learn from her and there is always, always, ALWAYS laughter. Her yoga philosophy is: You can’t hold your breath when you are laughing. Sara is married to a local fireman, has two teenage sons, two big dogs, is an avid runner and swimmer, and you won’t find her more than a few feet away from a book. She will often read especially moving passages from her current book out loud during class and call it story time. |
