Growing up in Tehran, Iran, yoga was a rarity. It was a stroke of serendipity that led Sara to a prominent Iyengar teacher's 42nd birthday party. Sara vividly recalls, 'The teacher danced with the energy of a 20-year-old! How could I resist trying yoga?' This chance encounter marked the beginning of Sara's journey into yoga nearly 15 years ago as Elham Badrian became her first yoga teacher at the Tehran Iyengar Institute.
Feeling a profound calling to deepen her practice, Sara made a courageous decision in 2014. She sold her car and embarked on a one-way journey to India, where she dedicated two transformative years to practicing and learning yoga under senior instructors, including Sharat Arora of HIYC-Dharamsala and Surrender Singh of Swasti Yoga-Rishikesh, ultimately earning her 200-hour certification. Upon her return to Iran, she opened a humble studio in Tehran to share all she had learned.
Teaching quickly emerged as one of the most rewarding facets of Sara's yoga journey. Sara was fortunate to achieve her 500-hour certification under the guidance of esteemed teachers in the Bay Area at The Yoga Room Berkeley.
Beyond the world of yoga, Sara is a professional musician, classically trained in traditional Persian music since the age of 11. She has graced audiences worldwide with her artistry on the Barbat, an ancient Persian healing instrument.
Today, Sara's teachings grace the East Bay, where she offers unique 'Yoga with Persian Classical Fusion' events. These events blend journaling, meditation, restorative yoga, live music, and her soulful vocals, creating a profound experience of healing, transformation, and spiritual connection in every moment.
