"It is in playing and only in playing that the individual child or adult is able to be creative and to use the whole personality, and it is only in being creative that the individual discovers the self." D.W. Winnicott

TESTIMONIALS: ON CLASSSES
"The queen of subtlety. When I moved to London, I attended many Ashtanga led classes with different teachers but Sarai's was the one that most caught my attention. Sarai focuses a lot on breath and alignment. Her cues and adjustments are very accurate they will teach you the general AND more subtle intention of each pose. She is also very knowledgeable in anatomy and has so much experience in teaching so she knows how to accommodate the postures to different types of bodies, in Mysore as well as led classes. So whether you are a complete beginner who wants to build a strong foundation, or an advanced practitioner who wants to refine your practice, Sarai's the best!" - Azza Alameddine, Designer
"Helped me to deepen my understanding of yoga. I practiced Mysore style Ashtanga yoga with Sarai for a year in London. She is a warm, friendly and encouraging teacher with deep knowledge and understanding of the yoga practice and it's tradition. She really helped me to deepen my understanding of yoga in the year that I practiced with her. And she also gives amazing assists and adjustments!" - Mat Gill, Yoga Teacher
ON RETREATS
"I attended Sarai’s retreat in Sri Lanka recently. It was a wonderful experience learning Ashtanga in a beautiful environment overlooking the rice paddy fields. What made it so valuable was the expertise of Sarai both in adjustments and the precision of alignment in poses. With a small group of students it felt like one-on-one tuition, which has meant that my yoga practice has shifted to a much safer and rewarding practice. This is a teacher that is both gentle and firm, she has trained with strength and endurance (Ashtanga and Iyengar) and clearly demonstrates many years of expertise and understanding of how the body works and moves. If you want to take your practice to the next level – this is a teacher who will help get you there". - S. Rajah, Massage Therapist and Trainer
