Shirley Day, Rotorua UltraRunner & Ironwoman
"Just wanted to let you know how much I'm enjoying run yoga. I really look forward to Mondays now because that's my yoga night. Even the long Sunday run is doable because I know it's 'Monday tomorrow'. I didn't realise how much I've missed yoga until I started back."
Dr Hayley Bennett, Public Health Physician
"RunYoga is a great counterbalance for a busy working mum - especially the focus on breathing and the relaxation exercise at the end. Sarah has a really good understanding of the science behind mind body connections and health. The well instructed yoga sequences are made relevant to running and other sport."
Vicki Woolley, Editor of KiwiTrailRunner (KTR) Magazine
Vicki doesn't come to my classes but she started hatha yoga after being inspired by my RunYoga articles for KTR Magazine...
"After years of being a yoga sceptic, a stubborn injury brought me reluctantly to the door. Yoga was a last resort and I was far from happy. 10 weeks into my practise I am stronger, calmer, more flexible and feel the flow-on effects of effective breathing in my swimming, running and daily life. I now understand why people are evangelical about yoga. Thank you for being part of my inspiration to give it a try - I cannot imagine my life without the practise, now."

Rina Joy, Social Runner
" [The] yoga classes, targeted specifically for runners, are pivotal in helping me avoid injury...even though I am just a social runner, my mental and physical well-being is greatly improved when I attend regular classes. And the relaxation session at the end is just awesome!"
Anna Goodman, Aspiring Runner, Adventure Racer & Busy Mum
"I have been attending Sarah's Yoga classes from the beginning when she first started her journey to become a yoga instructor. As a busy mum, mountain biker and runner, I find her classes are a perfect way to maintain flexibility and to remember how to breathe, stretch and relax after a hectic day. A great night sleep is guaranteed after attending one of her classes."
Teresa Martin, Lake City Athletics Marathon Clinic Convenor
"Sarah has a gentle yet focused approach to the class and her instructions are clear and easy to follow – even on some of the most creative poses! The more meditative components of the session help me recognise often ignored but essential areas of my body giving me a greater awareness of those parts and the sum of these all working together. I have learnt a lot about myself in just a few classes and look forward to continuing my yoga journey under the care and guidance of Sarah. Thanks Sarah – loving those stretches too!"
