About Sara

My name is Sara Gottfried and I am a 200-Hour Registered Yoga Teacher and Certified Children's Yoga Teacher.

Upon completing a children's yoga teacher training in March of 2016, I coined the name, "Stretch Yourself Yoga," stretching your limits emotionally, mentally, and physically. As someone who has worked with children in a variety of settings, I have seen both the successes and struggles that children endure on a daily basis. As a result, I integrate yoga and mindfulness, in creative and unique ways, into children's lives. I believe that with patience, imagination, and creativity, yoga and mindfulness can equip chidlren with the tools neccessary to thrive in the world, emotionally, mentally, and physically.

But, I believe that adults too can benefit from yoga and mindfulness, which is why I enrolled myself in a 200-hour yoga teacher training. Upon graduating in May of 2017, I strive to provide yoga and mindfulness in a way that is accessible and adaptable to meet all the needs of students, children and adults.

My yoga mojo:

I teach a mindful Vinyasa class that I constantly tailor to meet all students' needs in the present moment. I guide student's through a flow that is complimented by music, energy, and compassion as my focus is on proper alignment with room for each student to learn and grow at their own pace. My goal is that all students leave feeling confident, safe, and nourished, emotionally, mentally, and physically.

My Personal Yoga Journey

I often do not think of myself as the typical "yogi." Before starting the practice of yoga, I had a stereotype of what a true "yogi" was. Perhaps, calm, cool, and collected, to say the least. One who simply breathes through life and can twist and turn the body in the most crazy ways.

I have a type-A personality and live life according to a schedule. I religiously write down a to-do list every Sunday of tasks I need to accomplish in the week ahead. Call me crazy, but I get things done! In high school my anxiety peaked and I encountered some major mental and physical health issues. During that period, I was not myself and could not enjoy life to its fullest. So, after doing some contemplation and research I cautiously stepped into the world of yoga.

When I took my first beginner's yoga class I felt like the odd one out. I kept looking around to make sure I was doing the poses right and I attempted to put on the "yogi" facade. However, I quickly realized the yoga room is a "no judgement zone," and that everyone is truly focusing on their own practice. After a few classes, I felt “lighter” and more present within myself and the world. Personally, the practice was and still is a way for me to hit pause on what is happening in my life and take an hour or so to slow down and be grateful for who I am, how I am, and what I am.

Long story short, I fell in love with yoga!

However, I still do not consider myself the typical “yogi.” I am still an anxious, routined, and type-A individual. I plan my life months in advance (not something I am always proud of), stop everything I am doing to help another out, and never miss a good sale! But, no matter how busy my day is, when I hit the yoga mat, everything else is on pause and I focus on myself. So, no I am not calm, cool, and collected 100% of the time and no I do not magically breathe away frustration, anger, or sadness. But, I do make and take the time to practice yoga so that I can focus on my body, emotionally, mentally, and physically.
