Sarra Kaufman

Sarra Kaufman has been practicing yoga since she was 16 in Philadelphia. She began with Ashtanga and Power Yoga, but the day Simon Park appeared at her studio, she was introduced to the incredible world of Vinyasa Flow. Through Simon, she discovered Shiva Rhea and her playful expression of yoga - and from here is the history of her snowball into the yoga world. After moving to New York City from Chicago in April 2009, she nestled into the training styles of Sankalpah, and eventually found the teacher training program here. Sarra has always been interested in studying the ways in which the body moves and how the mind propels or inhibits these movements - and her classes reflect this. Each class is vigorous and expressive, moving between poses with a focused awareness to the nuances between and in each asana.
