YTT FACULTY:
Lead Teacher: Sarah Medve
For Sarah, movement represents mind-body connection. She played sports all her life and comes from a long line of fitness and sports coaches. She started teaching yoga and group fitness in 2024 after completing her 200hr power vinyasa certification, along with Strength, Yoga Sculpt, HIIT Pilates, and Immersive Stretching trainings. She currently teaches 10 classes a week of varying formats at studios around NYC. Outside of group fitness, she works as an Instructional Coach, supporting classroom teachers in NYC public schools.
Sarah's style of coaching Strength is clear, concise, breath-driven, and inclusive–designed to help students find form in their unique bodies and encourage their breath to guide. Her goal is to support and empower all levels in the room–to offer modifications and intensity options for every student to grow both mentally and physically. She loves connecting with students after class to hear what feels supportive or learn what they'd like to work on next so she can always be growing as an instructor and build community amongst her classes.
