Your retreat leader
Sahara George
Yoga Teacher + PT Practitioner
During my time as an undergrad at UC Irvine, I did all of my studying from my yoga mat. After graduating summa cum laude, I completed my yoga teacher training under yogi and scholar Dr. Mitra Hooshmand, whose research background shaped my respect for anatomy, physiology and safety within the practice.
I’ve been teaching yoga since 2014. After working in physical therapy settings since 2019, my teaching has become increasingly focused on mobility and functional movement. Expect traditional postures, close attention to breath and creative, deliberately sequenced transitions.
On retreat, I aim to create a meaningful balance of relaxation and adventure while making space for humans of all kinds. Experiencing the land, people, culture and cuisine of a new place is education on a level beyond the classroom. Life is short, so let’s flow on a beach in Mexico.
