Sarah Hyde

Hi, I’m Sarah (she/her). I’m a Seattle-based yoga and meditation teacher, a writer, and a lifelong student. For a little perspective, I’m a type 2 Enneagram, a Gemini sun / Libra moon / Cancer rising. 

I offer a wide array of practices including hatha, vinyasa, yin and restorative yoga, meditation, yoga nidra, sound healing, reiki and conscious connected breathwork. My goal is to help you find ease in your body, connect with your true self, and learn to slow down, calm your nervous system, and rest. My classes focus on breath and body connection, and listening to and honoring your own body and what it needs. Every class I teach is designed to be as accessible as possible, and my hope is that the spaces I hold feel welcoming to beginners as well as seasoned practitioners. I incorporate music and sound elements into my classes, as well as the use of props and the opportunity to modify your practice. Everything we do in my class is an offering, and all levels are welcome.

What I love most is helping people let go of unhelpful energy (stress, trauma, anxiety, etc) and find true rest. Rest is the space where healing, transformation, growth and magic happen. I was drawn to restorative and yin yoga very early in my practice, and those were the yoga offerings I always felt most called to share. Now, I’ve been fortunate to study meditation, sound healing, breathwork and reiki, and I have a lot of amazing tools to share to help you rest - or, at the very least, release some tension and calm your nervous system. And even in the context of a more vigorous movement practice like vinyasa or hatha, I can teach you to listen to and honor your body instead of your ego so that you can find more peace and spaciousness.

I love swimming in warm water, and the coldest, darkest, snowiest weather. I am deeply attached to my dogs, and I’m drawn to sad movies and books and music. I love pop culture and history, and have far too many opinions about things that are 200+ years old. I’m a proud member of the LGBTQ+ community and I have strong progressive values. I believe that yoga is a practice of liberation, and has always been political. I believe in taking care of ourselves so that we can take care of each other.

When I’m not teaching, writing or creating, you'll find me practicing yoga, taking a long walk, listening to podcasts or records, knitting a pair of cozy socks (yes, really), doing a puzzle, practicing piano or guitar (rather poorly) and singing along (somewhat well), or, more often than not, just reading a good book.
