Saraa came back to her yoga mat after she was diagnosed with end-stage heart failure. She was living with a Left Ventricular Assist Device (LVAD), an internal and external life sustaining medical device, while waiting for a heart transplant. Through yoga, she found space to reflect on and process her journey and rebuild her mind-body connection. As of late 2023, Saraa is in remission and device free!

Saraa teaches through a lens of inclusion and accessibility. She hopes to cultivate an environment in which her students can connect with themselves and give their body what it needs.
