Rev. Sarah Michelle Cutler, Registered Polarity Practitioner (R.P.P), member of the Kripalu Yoga Teacher's Association (K.Y.T.A. # 5181), member of Yoga Alliance (R.Y.T), Reiki Master, Minister in the Eternal Life Church:

My delight as a healing-arts practitioner is to encourage and support each individual by cultivating deep resources for vibrant, healthy, life and by inviting each individual home into the body. My approach combines a spacious and deep listening with a keen awareness of the structure and the unique stories each being tells through her body. I am fiercly committed to each persons development and self awareness and offer tools and support to facilitate this journey towards wholeness.

My background in biology (B.A. Biological Sciences, Mount Holyoke College, 2003), a penchant towards foolishness in the form of clowning, and my love of and my own healing with food inform my practice. Four years ago, I traded my car for a bicycle which reminds me to be fully embodied as I move through space. As yoga teacher and12-year practitioner, my passion is to open new relationship with the body and with life. I am member of the Kripalu Yoga Teacher’s Association, the Yoga Alliance, a graduate of Amadea Morningstar's Ayurvedic Nourishment and Self Care course and I am pursuing certification as an Ayurvedic Self Care Educator. I am a teaching assistant for the Ayurveda Polarity Yoga Therapy Institute, an Ordained Minister, a Reiki Master/Teacher, certified in Cranial Sacral Therapy and a graduate of the of Somatic Polarity® Program at the New Mexico Academy of Healing Arts.

Customer testimonials:

"Nurturing and Womb-like. Sarah has an amazing presence."

[Your bodywork] "lets the body catch up to the soul and the soul catch up to the body. Its a chance to mend yourself back together with the encouragement and support of another person. Having another person there gives me permission to just be."

"I've been doing yoga on and off since the '70s and I gotta say I have never moved as freely or spontaneously as in your class. It's the music and your voice that urges me in that direction. I enjoy all this experimentation."
