your guide for the weekend
Certified Yoga Instructor · Trauma-Informed Wellness Guide · Retreat Leader
500+ women guided through my classes
I'm a certified yoga instructor and trauma-informed wellness guide with a passion for creating inclusive, healing spaces — especially for women in recovery. My journey with yoga began in 2015 as a personal step toward self-love and healing. I've since turned that passion into a profession by teaching, mentoring, and guiding others through gentle movement, breathwork, and embodied connection.
My teaching style is rooted in slowness, intentionality, and compassion. I specialize in private yoga instruction, trauma-sensitive cueing, guided breathwork, and mindful stretching practices. I'm also a retreat leader and founder of Sara Taylor Wellness, where I lead immersive group experiences focused on healing through movement, stillness, and connection.
Whether I'm working 1:1 or guiding a group, my goal is to meet people exactly where they are — and guide them toward their infinite, authentic self.
A hundred-year-old generations-old property tucked off-grid in Cuba, Missouri. Owned and tended by the Rutledge family, Fox Springs is the kind of place phones lose signal and shoulders drop two inches at the front gate.
