Sara Fakih Yoga, Movement & Dance Embodiment

I am fully qualified in Vinyasa, Rocket, Ashtanga Vinyasa, Mandala Vinyasa, Yin Yoga, Hot Vinyasa, Buti yoga (a Fusion of Power Vinyasa/Dynamic Asana, Cardio Intensive Bursts, Primal & Tribal Movement) and Deep (by Buti).

Back in London I have worked with some of the top Gyms and Boutique Studios and taught for some of the UK's largest fitness events.

I was also head hunted to be one of the first instructors when Another Space London opened up in 2016.

Before my move to Doha, Qatar I was lastly head hunted to head up the Yoga department at the newest Boutique Studio in London, January 2019.

Yoga is one of my main loves & it changed my life dramatically. I battled depression in my late teens through to my early 20's and yoga has been a huge factor in helping to bring more awareness to my physical, mental and emotional self. Mental health is being discussed a lot more openly now but there is still many that disregard it.

It is a blessing to be able to share the benefits that I have found through Yoga and my intention is to get many more people to at least try Yoga, to open there mind to how it connects you and gets you to feel more. We are a society that has been taught to numb feelings and this is where mental and physical health issues stem from. There are many many different types of yoga for what personally suits you at different times in your life.

Mindfulness is a huge benefit but also learning to move the body mindfully. This helps prevent injury, increases join mobility, breath work helps oxygenate the body properly, strength, flexibility and a strengthened connection to the inner and outer core unit.

Many athletes have now seen the benefits of practicing yoga as it has helped to improve their athletic performance and their mindset in competition.

My passion is connection through movement & music and I love to combine the two in whatever class I teach. Music is so important as it can take you on a journey and is a huge part of what I do; my intention when teaching is to always take you through a journey, via my sequencing and of course through my music playlists, whether it be a Vinyasa, Yin Yoga or Buti Yoga class.

​I have a huge passion for Sound Healing and I believe that sound is hugely underestimated when it comes to healing the body through sound vibration.

I always incorporate Sound Healing within my classes with my Tibetan Bowls. I have also been helping people to journey deep through sound by an elemental sound healing; this is through the use of my Tibetan Bowls, shamanic drum, wind chimes, a gong & a few other instruments. The vibrations help to relax and heal the body and the mind as well as allowing you to truly surrender, to switch off and release any stress, anxiety and emotions to bring you to a place of peace.

Dancehall has started to become hugely popular as a dance style within the dance world and this led me to co-found MIU Fitness. It is a dance fitness class based on dancehall steps. We create fun and easy to learn choreographies that force you to dance with your heart and not your head.

Dance is also a form of Yoga for me; it truly helps you to break down barriers, to let go, to connect to others and mostly to have fun in each class.

I am now currently teaching my own dance class fusing Dancehall and Tribal movement; dancing bare foot with a healing intention. Find all these classes on my schedule.

Sara strongly believes in CONNECTION.

Connection back to yourself and connection back to others.

Helping people find balance in their lives; you can train hard but you need to find that balance to not continually run on auto pilot, to truly listen to your body & connect back to it by using your breath and mindful movement.

Connection is also about helping to uplift other people in whatever you do. Competition is healthy but I believe that we need to empower, help others, and have others help us on our journey; we need to break the cycle of shaming each other and rise together.

Everyone teaches us something.
