Hello
My name is Sarah McCraren and I am a Certified Yoga Therapist (in-training). Yoga Therapy is the professional application of the principles and practices of Yoga to promote health and well-being within a therapeutic relationship. Unlike a general yoga class, Yoga Therapy is a clinical, evidence-based intervention that utilizes the whole person (bio-psycho-social-spiritual) framework to address specific physical, mental, and emotional health conditions.
Yoga Therapy is accredited through the International Association of Yoga Therapist and requires at least 1,000 hours of learning and practice and post certification continuing education.
My Story
As a parent of college and professional athletes, I have seen the struggles young athletes experience throughout their careers. Whether its recruiting, playing time, managing a busy schedule, recovering from injury or figuring out a life after sports, its often confusing and always stressful.
Many athletes feel they have to trade-in their love for the game to meet the ever-growing heap of expectations and commitments. Too often athletes forget who they are and falsely believe their value as a human is dependent on their success in sports.
Having witnessed the suffering of my own children and that of their friends and teammates, when I decided to become a Yoga Therapist, I knew I wanted to work with athletes.
Through the application of yogic practices, I help athletes reconnect to their whole self (body, mind and spirit) improving performance, relationships and health, while reducing stress and negativity. I am Master Reiki Practitioner and also offer Reiki healing sessions.
