Lately I’ve been feeling really reflective about my 9 year long Thailand chapter and how it all came to be…
I arrived here in December 2016, not long after completing my first 200-hour yoga teacher training in Hawaii. Yoga was part of what brought me here, but so was my corporate background, nine years in hospitality, with gorgeous hotels in Hawaii and online travel agencies. I originally moved for a role as Director of Business Operations at a wellness travel startup… not knowing how deeply this place would shape me.
A couple years later in 2018, I found myself at Vikasa Yoga as Director of Sales & Marketing — with a yogi boss who encouraged me to keep practicing, teaching, and deepening my path alongside my work. That permission changed everything… thank you Kosta🥹
In 2020, Moksha was born — first online with virtual health coaching, then through consulting, retreats, and eventually this physical studio in Phuket. Along the way, I supported so many trainings and retreats behind the scenes… and this year, I finally led my own retreat in Italy. Still feels a little surreal!
This past year also marked over two years of the studio, and I’m so deeply grateful for everything this space has held. Huge love to Susanna, Laurence, Koy, Jaroon, and Svetlana for bringing so much heart, wisdom, and creativity into Moksha with me.
And to YOU, this community, thank you✨For showing up, trusting, practicing, and growing alongside me. My teaching truly blossomed here, and you’re a big part of the how and why.
I’m leaving Thailand next week with over 1,100 hours of yoga teacher training, plus certifications in health coaching and sound healing, all shaped by lived experience and hands-on teaching with you! I’m feeling super grateful for all of it🙏
As this chapter begins to close, a new one is opening. I’m soon off to Cape Town. The location is changing, but the heart of Moksha isn’t going anywhere. This isn’t goodbye, just another evolution.
I’ll share more when the time is right… but I have a feeling you’re going to enjoy what’s coming!
With so much love,
Sarah💓💓💓
