Class Testimonials
"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
"Knowledgeable teacher and dedicated practitioner. Sarai was originally one of my ashtanga mysore style teachers; her teaching is clear and caring. I now know Sarai as a fellow student in my teacher's class (a senior Iyengar teacher) and I see here that Sarai is a knowledgeable, dedicated and mindful practitioner; it is clear that she cares for her own body (an essential characteristic that you would wish your yoga teacher to have) and pays great attention to alignment and the integrity of the asana" - Nina Forbes, Yoga Teacher
"Highly recommended! I started practising Mysore style Ashtanga yoga with Sarai and she is a great teacher - patient, encouraging, and she really helps you understand the asanas and the practise (even when you're not naturally flexible) and is very good on correct alignment as well as more restorative poses to complement your practise. Highly recommended!" - Rosie Waites, Journalist
"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
"Gentle and strong. I felt very good taking Sarai's class. She has a way of explaining alignment that is very easy to understand and remember for next practice. She is very strong, yet has a gentle way. I will definitely be taking her class again when in London" - Lena Kogan, Entrepreneur
"Experienced and versatile. Sarai's uplifting nature plus her many years of experience in both practicing and teaching yoga make her an insightful and well-rounded teacher who I whole heartedly recommend for students of all abilities" - Veronika Kloucek, Yoga Teacher
