SARAH LINDGREN BIO
I wish to live in a world where people communicate face to face, eat real food, and
nurture themselves as well as those around them.
I began practicing yoga in 2006 while I was expecting my first daughter. I have found
that a full practice guided by the 8 limbs of yoga provides me with a deeper
understanding of myself and connectivity to those around me. I practice and teach
because yoga gives you permission to be yourself, uncovered, dirty and honest and
we all need to know that it is okay to just be as we are.
As a Yoga Teacher and JuicePlus representative I’ve been teaching yoga since
summer of 2015, gaining 200hr certification in 2016 from Moksha Yoga in Chicago. I
enjoy developing creative sequences and relatable workshops, helping to make the
world of yoga more accessible to my students. I also have a deep passion to help
people develop awareness about the food they put in their mouths, making sense of
the science of nutrition since 2011.
When I’m not meditating, or attempting arm balances and inversions, you can find
me gardening with my family and whipping up vegan sweets.
Join me in cultivating a more compassionate, judgeless, and honest community
through the practice of yoga.
