Sarah Junkin’s Testimonials
Sarah is a gifted and highly experienced yoga teacher who bring tremendous wisdom, thoughtfulness and compassion to each class she teaches. She is a treasure to be found by any student eager to embark on the true path of yoga.
Sarah is a quintessential yoga teacher, one of the true lights among the many with whom I have studied yoga since my first class at the YWCA in 1974. Her gift goes beyond her expertise in physiology and her extensive knowledge of mind/body connections and possibilities. With generosity and empathy, she guides individuals to discover their own physical and spiritual strengths. I am grateful to have Sarah back in Saskatoon and to have the opportunity to practise yoga with her again.
Sarah helped me connect to my body in a way that was compassionate and gentle, noticing its limitations with a sense of loving while also challenging myself to expand what it’s capable of. Her classes always have a natural flow to them, allowing me to stretch and grow with a sense of ease and strength. The way she weaves in themes and wisdom helps connect the asana to the rest of my spirituality and learn new ways to view myself in the world, as well as the world in my Self.
I began Yoga about 20 years ago with Sarah in a school gym. She has taught me so much about yoga and about myself. Her calm voice, mindfulness and passion for yoga are what I appreciate the most. She carefully prepares her sessions based on her students’ needs and adapts her sessions to assist students when needed. She continually challenges her students, building upon past practices. Sarah is a lifelong learner who continues to study yoga and learn new practices that she readily shares with her students.
It’s really Sarah’s spirit that has drawn me close as a student over the decades – calm and radiant. She gives so much from her depth of understanding of yoga as a path to healing and energy flow. I always so look forward to Sarah’s teaching because it encompasses much more than asanas; she supports growth and joy.
Sarah’s listening and observational skills enhance her creative teaching style. She is very intuitive, and each participant feels empowered during her classes no matter their skill set. She is a professional knowledgeable yoga instructor who adds her own body of knowledge, which is far reaching- to her classes. I am grateful for having studied and continue to study yoga with Sarah!
Yoga with Sarah is always a treat. Her depth of knowledge and way of leading make every class as accessible or challenging as you need it to be in that moment.
She incorporates her academic background, ongoing yoga training, and commitment to understanding the spiritual aspects of yoga with classes that are offered in a mindful and imaginative manner. She radiates compassion and kindness towards her students and teaches with a spirit of joy. I have learnt much from Sarah and am very grateful for her teaching.
Sarah has an advanced knowledge of and respect for the body, and her yin yoga classes are attuned to the body’s varying needs in the seasonal cycle. Equally important in her teaching is her respect for the spirit and emotional state of her students.
