Sara-Mai Conway has been coaching athletes of all ages and abilities for 20 years now; from rowing, to cycling, to group-fitness and of course, yoga. After a successful career coaching NCAA Division I rowing, Sara-Mai found yoga in 2006 when looking for a new way to cross train for her own competitive rowing career. She was immediately impressed by the athleticism and physical challenge of the practice. Years later, it is the spiritual side of the practice that keeps yoga part of her daily regimen. Sara-Mai's classes are informed by her athleticism and her practice of Tibetan Buddhism. She believes yoga is the key to finding both your inner athlete, and your inner guru. It is through movement that we learn how to be still, and it's through stillness that we experience the true nature of our being.
Sara-Mai completed a Master's Degree in Sport Management at the University of San Francisco in 2004 and is a 1999 graduate of Tufts University. She is 200-hour yoga certified via Core Power Yoga and 500-hour certified via Bodhi Yoga International. She has completed several hours of continuing education in meditation, Tibetan Buddhist yoga, yoga philosophy and breath work. Off the mat, she can be found adventuring through Southern Baja and beyond, with her husband and two dogs.
