Sara Curran 500YTTIn 2008, Sara began looking for a different kind of activity to complement her running and strength training—and discovered yoga.  After becoming a dedicated power yoga practitioner, she felt a desire to dive deeper into yoga methodologies and practices. She took the plunge into teacher training with Marni Task at the Yoga Room in Little Italy whose teachings are founded in Jivasara yoga, which is based on the Anusara and Jivamukti methodologies.  In 2015, she received her 200-hour teacher training certificate and in January of 2016 began teaching at Progressive’s Fitness Center in Mayfield Village, OH.To expand her foundational yogic offerings Sara attended specialized training with Anne Ondrey in Sacred Calm Restorative yoga in late 2017 and Advanced Restorative training in 2019.  In early 2018, she added certification in Holy Fire II Usui Reiki Ryoho, First degree Reiki.In 2022, she embarked on an 18 month journey at the Taproot School of Yoga and Energetics in Chardon with Freia Ramseywhose teachings are founded on the lineage of Krishnamacharya’s Viniyoga and Lindsay Stropkey whose teachings are founded on the Kripalu lineage and the sister science of yoga, Ayurveda.  This program offered an intense immersion into Hatha Yoga, Ayurveda, Therapeutic yoga, Philosophy and so much more which enabled her to achieve her 300-hour yoga teacher certification in June of 2023.  Through a teaching style that is welcoming and inclusive, Sara makes an effort to tailor each class to meet the needs of the students, whom she sees as her daily teachers on this journey. She frames each class with a theme, such as an inspirational reading her students can take with them off the mat. Recognizing the special reciprocal relationship between student and teacher, Sara always takes a moment to express gratitude for the inspiration and learnings from all of her teachers.Off the mat, Sara enjoys exploring the many park trails throughout northeast Ohio with her husband, John.
