Sadie Barrett

Sadie’s personal deep exploration of yoga and love of nature has refined her teaching style into something that implores the discovery of inner peace and the cultivation of radiance from within. Her teachings aim at lustrating on all levels, creating opportunities to discover strength, flexibility and balance in the body, mind and spirit. Sadie Barrett, Owner of The Yoga Center in Butte, MT began studying yoga and meditation in 2000, and started teaching in 2003. She began her studies through the lineage of Paramahansa Yogananda, founder of the Self Realization Fellowship, and has studied with many masters, including Erich Schiffmann, Seane Corn, Natasha Rizopolous, Max Strom and Dr Laxminarayan Joshi. She attended Jairam Yoga and Sanskrit College in Rishikesh, India where she studied advanced asana, pranayama and shatkarmas. Her yoga master is Erich Schiffmann, whom she considers “The real deal”. Sadie has also attained certifications in both Ayurvedic Treatments and Ayurvedic Massage from Divine Ayurvedic Centre in Rishikesh, India and studied Nutrition and Gastronomy in the United States. Her experience teaching over the last 2 decades has allowed her to work with professional athletes, children, teens, elderly and practitioners from all walks of life. Sadie has enjoyed teaching daily classes in her own studio and in local studios throughout Idaho, Montana and Oregon, and is working on her first book. She has taught workshops around the Northwestern U.S., and has trained teachers who now teach and live worldwide. She is trained in yoga from several lineages including Hatha, Vinyasa, Astanga, and Freedom Yoga. It is her hope the diversity of her experiences is gracefully shared with her students and brings forth ones’ own sense of yogic understanding. Through guided instruction, Sadie aims to cultivate a deep level of awareness by moving intelligently through a balanced series of personalized yogic flows.

What to Expect in a Yoga Class

Class will typically begin with a

series of “grounding” exercises. This may include “Pranayama” (breathing techniques), sound therapy, meditation, visualization, and gentle movement. Next, you will be guided through a series of “openers” more gentle movement specifically choreographed to slowly open areas of the body that tend to be tight or inflexible (Depending on the class level). The third section will bring heat to the body through “Asanas” or poses, focusing on strength, flexibility and balance. Taking advantage of the acquired heat, students will be guided through more asanas, mostly relaxing and restorative. Lastly, all students will get to enjoy complete relaxation in “savasana”, a guided relaxation lasting anywhere from 5 to 15 minutes.

You will leave feeling more energized and happy with a deep sense of Contentment!

What is Yoga? Yoga is an ancient practice originally

reserved for the “Rishis” or saints in the Himalayas and was secretly passed from guru to disciple. Although some parts still remain secretive, yoga has become a common practice in many parts of the world. Yoga is a powerful method of self-improvement that works on three levels (body, mind, spirit). Yoga utilizes mental focus and deep breathing while performing a series of postures. The practice can sometimes appear to be a “workout” but what makes it so much richer is the remarkable internal impact of the practice. “Yoga” translates from its ancient language, Sanskrit to mean “Union”. In simple terms, it is a connection between conscious breath and body movement.

Peace

It does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise , turmoil or trouble; but to be amidst al l those things and sti l l

be calm in your heart . ~Unknown

Attire/preparation

• Wear comfortable clothing that doesn’t

restrict movement.

• Avoid jewelry and accessories. • Avoid heavy scents or perfumes • Arrive on time mentally and physically • Unravel your mat quietly • Entering late is disruptive, but if you

must be late, please take a deep breath, enter and be seated as quietly as possible. Wait to unravel your mat and gather props if the class is in meditation.

If you are unsure which classes you want to attend, please ask and a time can be set for an assessment and suggestions. Private lessons are available if you feel you would be more comfortable establishing your practice with individual guidance.
