Sara Avant Stover
Even as a small girl, Sara Avant Stover (also known as Shiromani) was a dreamer and an explorer. Today she has traveled much of the world and remains committed to living with an open heart and open mind.
A Phi Beta Kapha and Summa cum Laude graduate of Columbia University's Barnard College, as well as an Anusara-Inspired Yoga Teacher™ and RYT 500, Sara offers private sessions, workshops, retreats and teacher trainings around the world.
She offers gratitude to the grace of her spiritual teacher, ShantiMayi, and deep bows to her hatha yoga teachers, primarily Richard Freeman, Sofia Diaz, Jill Satterfield and leading teachers of the Anusara Yoga tradition: John Friend, Sianna Sherman and Desiree Rumbaugh. Studies in Buddhist Insight Meditation and Philosophy, Ayurveda and Thai Yoga Bodywork also influence her teachings. Sara integrates all of these into an individualized, breath-centered and poetic approach to practice that inspires students to expand beyond their boundaries and to move and live from their hearts.
Sara specializes in women’s yoga—or a way of being in the world that honors vulnerability as power and intuition as wisdom. This is a way of living that men can embrace as well. Sara supports women at any point along their journeys through: yoga for all stages of the menstrual cycle, pre/post natal yoga and fertility yoga.
Also a freelance writer, Sara is a frequent contributor to Fit Yoga Magazine and Yoga Journal. When she’s not traveling, Sara resides in Chiang Mai, Thailand.
