Sara Gepp - RYT 200, Sound Healer, Intuitive Guide & Equine Therapy Specialist

My journey as an intuitive guide began over 20 years ago. As I started to use my intuition more fully in my life, auspicious moments seemed to avail themselves and I was able to help others to understand the events in their lives more deeply.


My yoga practice helped me to cope with the loss of a family member and I have used the power of yoga to help me through the events in my life both good and bad, ever since.  My love of the Niyamas of yoga guided me to become a yoga teacher myself. I completed 200 hours of RYT training with Maha Bodi at the Yoga Maha School.

Welcome to a transformative journey of self-discovery and inner peace with me, Sara Gepp, your guide to a deeper, more meaningful yoga experience.

My 20-year journey in the world of yoga began at Jivamukti Yoga in NYC while grieving a loss. Yoga healed me from the inside out and I was blessed with the opportunity to become a Registered Yoga Teacher under the guidance of renowned yogi Maha Bodhi. At the Yogi Maha School.

My approach to yoga is rooted in compassion and a keen focus on proper alignment, ensuring a safe, inclusive, and nurturing environment for students of all levels. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced yogi, my classes are designed to awaken the power within, helping you connect with your inner strength and tranquility.

In addition to traditional yoga, I am a certified sound healer and an intuitive guide, integrating these practices into my sessions to provide a holistic experience that heals and harmonizes the body, mind, and spirit. My unique approach includes the use of sound vibrations to enhance meditation, deepen relaxation, and promote emotional release.

As an equine therapy specialist, I also bring the powerful and healing presence of horses into some of my programs. This unique combination of yoga and equine therapy offers an extraordinary opportunity for personal growth and healing, connecting us more deeply to nature and the profound wisdom of these majestic animals.

Join me on this path of self-exploration and empowerment, as we journey together towards greater health, harmony, and happiness. Whether through the gentle flow of yoga, the soothing resonance of sound healing, or the transformative experience of equine therapy, I am here to support and guide you in awakening your true potential.
