Body Pos Yoga Teacher and Activist in NYC, celebrating all bodies, cursing at street harassment, advocating for safer spaces.

Teaches at PIES Fitness Yoga in Alexandria, a studio that puts into practice an inclusive philosophy of "Yoga for Every Body".

UpLIFT Nola is located in the beautiful, historic Algiers Point neighborhood on the Westbank of New Orleans. The studio is more than 100 years old and has served the community in numerous capacities, but today it offers a quaint and quiet place to rejuvenate. Our teachers use dynamic mindfulness, meditation, yoga, art and other wellness practices to help students shake off the stress of life and restore balance.

Sandra has been a plus size yogi since the 1990's and a yoga teacher since 2003. One of the original pioneers of body positive yoga in the Thurston County area, Sandra has been blessed to share the mat with many people who are learning to love themselves just as they are. It is inspiring to be a part of the #TuesdayNightClass community where all are loved and welcomed.

Sandra credits yoga for helping her to save her own life; from fibromyalgia, a brain injury as a child, Meneire's disease, depression , anxiety and in recovery from addiction. It is through yoga that Sandra has found the courage to recover and she shares her passion on the mat every week with her students and community.
