Scenes from the first 24 hours of the 2025 MamaBliss Yoga + Wellness Retreat. Time to pause & be present, connect with self, community and nature, and move in synchrony with breath. Later today: yoga nidra and bonfire! I’m truly in my happy place

Join me and fellow mamas (and mamas-to-be) to s-l-o-w down, release some heat and make space in body and mind this evening and (almost) every Wednesday at a candlelit studio on West Walnut Lane.

Expect conscious breathing to center yourself, mindfully paced movement to tune inward, and ample rest to soak it all in 😌

INTRO POST!!!
It seems like a bunch of new folks have found my little corner of the internet this week, so I think it’s time for a (re-) introduction!

👋 Hey, I’m Sarah and I’m the founder of Surya Moon Yoga. Surya means “sun” in Sanskrit; I chose this name for my business because it reflects one of the foundational principles of my teaching philosophy: each of us embodies both solar ☀️ and lunar 🌙 attributes, and through our yoga practice we seek to balance these complementary energies.

A little more about me and my background:
🧘🏻‍♀️Yoga found me at a gym in Fairmount, Philadelphia over 20 years ago (RIP LifeSport!). After a brief foray into Ashtanga I found my groove with Vinyasa.

👩🏻‍🎓 I studied psychology and bioethics and worked in clinical research at several major universities around the country before earning my MPH in Maternal and Child Health Epidemiology at UW.

🤰🏻 My yoga practice and dear teachers in three different states were my lifeline throughout my fertility, pregnancy and postpartum journeys and the depth of that experience is what led me to teach yoga.

📚 I have trained in Vinyasa, Prenatal/Postnatal, Children’s and Trauma-Informed Yoga and Meditation, and am currently studying for my Prenatal and Postpartum Corrective Exercise Specialist certification!

🧑‍🧑‍🧒‍🧒 I’m a deeply Taurean ♉️ mama to two tweens born 18 months apart (a story for another time!), a cat and two new kittens🐾, and partner to my husband of 18 years.

🫶 Some things that make me happy: Bicycling, booking successful vacations last-minute, goofing around with my kids, seeing friendships form and deepen in my classes, eggplant parm.

🌊 I believe in the healing powers of breath-linked movement, community and nature.

🪴 I welcome you into practice with me just as you are and aim to create an ecosystem within which you come home to yourself again and again.

I’m so glad you’re here and I hope to see you in practice soon! Check out my 🔗 link in bio for current class offerings and how to join us. Autumn 2025 retreat announcement coming next week so stay tuned!
