Hello my name is Sarah Wheeler, facilitator of Welcome Home Yoga.
I first fell in love with yoga as a kid, practicing Rodney Yee’s VHS tapes with my mom. As a certified and registered Occupational Therapist since 2017. I currently work in multiple schools in the area with students and school staff. I have taught a variety of adult and kids movement classes in our community and schools. I recently completed my 200hr teacher training with Aligned Yoga Method in SSM, Ontario. I am a strong believer and witness of the power of breath, mindfulness, meditation, and positive thinking in order to achieve physical and life goals! My mission is to provide a brave space for you to play with your breath, movements, and energy and experience the relaxing, ease and comforting feeling of being home in yourself.
