Yoga is a way for Sage to express and center herself.  Her teaching utilizes a flowing sequence of sun salutations to work and balance the physical, spiritual, and emotional bodies.  Sage’s teaching integrates movement, breath and contemplative practice to help her students become more physically strong, while cultivating the ability to observe thoughts and emotions.  Ultimately, Sage is on a journey to be in the present moment of each day and this is woven into each class she teaches. 

Sage is continually inspired by her loving family, all of her yoga teachers, her fellow yogis at Kripalu, and Amy Wientraub, who wrote the inspirational and accessible book Yoga for Depression.  Off of the mat, Sage works in nonprofit housing development to provide housing opportunities to low-income people in Indiana.  She enjoys running, cooking, taking walks with her dog, and time spent with loved ones.
