Service Information

  • Yoga at Sacred Ojas Wellness is not a workout; it is a homecoming. Sarah’s practice is born from a place of deep healing and transformation that’s shaped not by trends, but by the understanding that movement can be a vital lifeline. When you step onto the mat, you are entering a space designed to see you, support you, and hold you exactly as you are.

    This is a deeply devotional practice. We move slowly and deliberately, prioritizing the nervous system over the intensity of a pose. By weaving together the structural precision of Ashtanga, the foundational stillness of Hatha, and the energetic awareness of Kundalini, Sarah creates a practice that is both grounding and expansive.

    This style invites you to slow down, settle into your body, and tenderly release the tension or stagnant energy you may be carrying. Here, the goal is not to "perfect" a pose, but to reconnect with your own inner wisdom, strength, and inherent divinity.

    What You Can Expect

    • An Intentional Container: Every class is built to be a safe, sacred space. You are invited to move at your own pace, with permission to rest whenever your body asks for it.

    • A Blended Approach: We draw upon the best of many traditions to offer a comprehensive practice that uses structure to create safety, and breathwork to invite flow.

    • Deep Nervous System Regulation: By moving with intention rather than speed, we help the body transition from a state of doing to a state of being.

    • A Feeling of Being "Held": Many of our students describe the experience as feeling supported, not just by the teacher, but by the space itself and the community around them.

    Commonly Asked Questions

    Is this for beginners?

    Yes. You do not need to be flexible, "in shape," or have any prior yoga experience. This practice is about your inner journey, not about how a pose looks. If you can breathe, you can practice with us.

    I’m not "spiritual"—is this still for me? Absolutely. While the practice is "devotional," we define that as devotion to yourself and your own healing. We welcome everyone, regardless of their background or belief system. We only ask that you bring an open heart.

    What if I have trauma or struggle with being in a group setting?

    We understand that being in a group can feel vulnerable. Our classes are intentionally kept small and gentle, and we focus heavily on creating a safe, non-invasive, non judgmental environment. You are always in control of your own body; if you ever need to opt out of a movement, close your eyes, or simply sit and breathe, you are fully supported in doing so.

  • Reiki is a gentle, energy-based modality that supports your body’s natural ability to heal and find equilibrium. The word Reiki translates to "universally guided life energy." In practice, it is a quiet, non-invasive, and deeply restorative experience.

    During a session, you remain fully clothed, resting comfortably on a massage table or seated in a supportive chair. The practitioner acts as a conduit, using light, non-intrusive touch—or simply holding their hands just above your body—to facilitate the flow of energy.

    This is a space of profound non-judgment. You are not "doing" anything; you are simply allowing yourself to receive. Whether you are navigating a period of high stress, processing emotions, or simply seeking a quiet moment to return to yourself, Reiki creates the stillness you need to listen to your own inner wisdom.

    The Benefits of Reiki

    Because Reiki works on an energetic level to encourage nervous system regulation, it can offer a wide range of benefits:

    • Deepen Relaxation: By engaging the parasympathetic nervous system, Reiki helps quiet the body’s stress response, inviting a profound sense of ease.

    • Emotional Support: Many guests find that Reiki helps them process "stuck" emotions or feelings of overwhelm, leaving them feeling lighter and more balanced.

    • Physical Ease: By soothing tension at an energetic level, Reiki can help alleviate the physical discomfort often caused by chronic stress.

    • Clarify and Ground: After a session, people often report a "mental clearing," making it easier to return to daily life with a renewed sense of focus and presence.

    • Restore Your Energy: Reiki can help recharge your "ojas"—your vital essence—when you feel depleted or disconnected from yourself.

    Commonly Asked Questions

    Does Reiki involve massage?

    No. Reiki is distinct from massage therapy. There is no manipulation of muscles or tissue. It is a light, static touch (or hands hovering off the body) aimed at balancing your energy field.

    What will I feel during the session?

    Every person's experience is unique. Some feel a gentle heat or tingling sensation; others notice a sense of deep, heavy relaxation or peace. If you don’t feel anything "physical," please know that the practice is still working—the most common outcome is simply a feeling of being deeply rested and calm.

    Do I need to believe in energy work for it to work?

    Not at all. You don’t need to be a "believer" or have any specific spiritual background. You only need a willingness to rest and an openness to the experience. We welcome you exactly as you are, skepticism and all.

    Is it okay if I cry or have emotions come up?

    Absolutely. Our space is a safe container for whatever you are carrying. If emotions surface, it is a healthy part of the release process. You will never be judged or rushed; we are here to support you through whatever comes up.

    What should I do after my session?

    We recommend drinking plenty of water and allowing yourself some "gentle time" immediately after the session. Avoid rushing back into high-stress tasks if possible, and give yourself permission to move at a slower pace for the rest of the day.

  • A sound bath is more than just listening; it is a guided, meditative journey. As you settle into a comfortable position, you are "bathed" in the harmonic resonance of crystal singing bowls, gongs, drums, chimes, and tuning forks.

    Our space is designed for your comfort and safety. You don’t need to "do" anything or have any prior meditation experience—there is no right or wrong way to be here. Simply lie back, breathe, and allow the soundscape to hold space for you. It is an invitation to quiet the mind, regulate your nervous system, and return to your natural, authentic state.

    The Benefits of Your Practice

    We view these sessions as a tool for nervous system regulation and holistic care. Guests often find that sound baths help them:

    • Soften into Stillness: By shifting the body from 'fight-or-flight' to 'rest-and-digest,' these soothing tones help lower stress and invite a sense of profound calm.

    • Restore Balance: Many participants experience easier, more restorative sleep and a quieted mind long after the session ends.

    • Find Clarity: As the mental chatter fades, you may find a clearer connection to your own intuition and authentic self.

    • Release Tension: Sound waves offer a non-invasive way to soften physical, tension and gently process stored emotions.

    • Anchor Your Presence: The structured soundscape provides an accessible, comforting anchor for those new to meditation, while offering seasoned practitioners a deeper container for their practice.

    Everything we do at Sacred Ojas Wellness is rooted in acceptance. Whether you are here to heal, to rest, or simply to explore, you are welcome exactly as you are.

    Commonly Asked Questions

    We understand that trying something new can feel vulnerable. Here are a few answers to help you feel prepared and at ease before your first session.

    What should I wear?

    Wear whatever makes you feel most like yourself and physically comfortable. There is no "yoga uniform" here. We recommend soft, breathable layers so you can adjust your temperature if you get warm or cool. The most important thing is that you feel unconstrained and relaxed.

    What if I fall asleep during the session?

    Please do! If you drift off, it is often a sign that your body is finally finding the deep rest it has been craving. There is no need to stay alert or "do" anything. Our facilitators view snoring or dozing off as a compliment to the space—it means you felt safe enough to let go.

    Do I need any special equipment or prior experience?

    Not at all. You do not need to know how to meditate or have ever attended a sound bath before. We provide the space, the instruments, and the guidance. You simply need to bring an open mind and a willingness to be present with yourself, exactly as you are.

    Is it okay if my mind wanders?

    Absolutely. Your mind will do what it needs to do—that is part of the process. We invite you to notice your thoughts without judgment, and gently return your focus to the sound when you are ready. There is no "right" way to experience this; your journey is unique to you.

    Is there anything I should bring?

    We provide the essentials for your comfort (mats, bolsters, blankets). If you have a personal eye mask, a favorite pillow, or a water bottle, you are more than welcome to bring them. Some guests also like to bring a journal to jot down reflections immediately after the session.

  • Your voice is a physical manifestation of your inner state. When we feel restricted or disconnected, our voice often reflects that tension. Voice Alignment is an invitation to gently release the layers of what you think your voice should sound like, so you can rediscover the expression that is uniquely, authentically yours.

    This is not a traditional singing lesson. We are not interested in the "cookie-cutter" sounds that the world labels as "good." We are interested in you—in the sound that resonates with your spirit, your body, and your truth.

    The Approach: Technique Meets Stillness

    Voice Alignment bridges the structural wisdom of classical vocal technique with the restorative, energetic power of crystal singing bowls.

    • The Classical Foundation: We use classical technique not to force your voice into a specific mold, but to provide you with the tools for physical ease, breath support, and vocal health. It is the roadmap that allows your voice to flow without strain.

    • The A Cappella Focus: By moving beyond the need for complex instrumentation, we create a space of total transparency. This helps you build a direct relationship with your own sound.

    • The Role of the Crystal Bowls: In these sessions, the crystal singing bowls serve as a consistent, harmonic "drone" or "pedal tone." This foundational, resonant backdrop provides a supportive container for your voice, allowing you to explore your range and expression while feeling held by the soundscape.

    Whether you choose to explore songs or repertoire that you love, or simply want to find the resonance in your speaking voice, this process is entirely led by your desire. You define what "good" sounds like by finding what feels right for you.

    Why Choose Voice Alignment?

    • Release the "Shoulds": Move past the limiting belief that your voice needs to sound like a radio star or a concert soloist.

    • Connect to Your Body: Learn how to use your breath and alignment to feel grounded and empowered when you speak or sing.

    • Safe Exploration: This is a non-judgmental container. If you have been told to "be quiet" or that your voice isn't "musical enough," this is the space to heal those stories.

    • Alignment of Self: When your physical voice is in tune with your authentic expression, you bring a newfound sense of confidence and presence into your daily life.

    Commonly Asked Questions

    I’ve been told I’m "tone-deaf" or "can't sing." Can I still do this?

    Absolutely. We aren't training you for a stage or a competition. We are helping you find your alignment. If you can speak, you have a unique voice that deserves to be heard and honored. We welcome you regardless of your "skill" level.

    What if I don’t have a song I want to learn?

    That is perfectly fine. We can work with vocal exercises, toning, or simply exploring the range of your speaking voice. The curriculum is built around your comfort and your goals.

    Is this a performance class?

    No. This is a practice of self-discovery. There is no audience, no pressure, and no expectation to "perform." Everything we do is for your own benefit and internal alignment.
