“This is one of the most enjoyable learning experiences of my entire life. It enriched my understanding of yoga and my practice more than I could have hoped for.

“I am so grateful to have attended Intentional Embodiment Yoga School and loved my experience. Sara leads a wonderful training program that is challenging and rewarding. This training provided a strong foundation in practice, yoga principles, and teaching, giving me the tools and confidence to lead classes and continue developing my personal path in yoga. I finished feeling stronger, more connected to my body and breath, and empowered to share what I’ve learned with others. This experience has truly set me on a path for continued growth and learning. I’m so grateful for the guidance, community, and inspiration I received from Sara.” -Angela Zymslinski June 11, 2025

“I have loved all my time at Intentional Embodiment yoga. So much so I didn't want the learning and self growth to end. I can not recommend Sara and her methods enough.” -Carissa Albergaria Colon November 11, 2024
“I truly enjoyed Sara's training program. It was a life changing experience for me. The training goes way beyond memorizing poses - it gives an opportunity to learn about philosophy, anatomy, mindfulness, your true self and many more. Students were provided with a countless number of resources helpful during and after the training. Sara is a remarkable teacher, and I feel very lucky to be trained by her. I joined her training without intention to teach, but my approach quickly changed seeing Sara's professional approach, her endless enthusiasm and passion for teaching. I highly recommend her training for those who want to deepen their knowledge about the wisdom of yoga, become confident teachers, and rediscover their true self.” -Ewa Wybieralska June 15, 2025
