She holds a bachelor’s degree in sports science and is also a certified yoga teacher and personal trainer. She is co-founder of Wellenfest, which is a platform creating movement art festivals since 2020. Her broad interest brought her to exploring different disciplines and methods. Therefore her sports background strongly influenced her approaches. Sarah teaches mainly dance improvisation and yoga, but also fusions these practices with movement games, contact improvisation, and different somatic and internal practices. In her classes and workshops her priority is to create a safe space for people to explore authenticity, to be present in and get to know their body, as well as to find joy in their own movement. An atmosphere for learning is created, encouraging to look deeper into the different layers a practice can offer. In her teaching she values the integration of both parts, the yin and the yang, the co-existence of activation and relaxation. Sarah started movement related work and giving classes in 2017.
Teachers who have influenced her own practice and her work are Pawel Konior, Katha Löffler, Edward Tamayo, David Zambrano, Tom Weksler, Roser Tutusaus, Anna Bamboo and Jozef Frucek.
