Hi, I'm Sara
Yoga, Falls Prevention and Fitness
Instructor and Educator

Simply put, I love teaching. I also love learning. I love being physically active, with all the health benefits this brings. My classes are fun, functional and based on evidence, and that's a guarantee!

​

I started my career in Sports Centre Management and Sports Development with disabled people. I gained lots of fitness qualifications along the way. If it's on dry land in a fitness environment, then I'm qualified to teach it! (see Qualifications)

​​

As a tutor with YMCA Fitness Industry Training I spent years sharing my passion, and more recently I've been working with YMCA Awards as a Technical Contributor. I continue to tutor and learn with Later Life Training, on courses for professionals working with frailer older people with a risk of falls, including Otago and Postural Stability Instructor (PSI). I also work with YMCA Awards as a technical writer.

​

I co-designed the first course for fitness instructors working with disabled people and wrote a book on the subject, 'Training Disabled People' (2007, A&C Black).

​

Thanks to my husband, Suresh, in 2008 I moved from the bustle of London to the beautiful Scottish Highlands. Together we run Equal Adventure, resourcing inclusive outdoor adventure with disabled people. We have a daughter, Ella, whose humour, enthusiasm for life and love of movement almost matches with mine!
