SARA PARLATO
Sara is an internationally certified yoga and embodiment teacher with over 1.000 hours of Yoga Teacher Training, specializing in elemental yoga, somatic movement, meditation, and tantric philosophy. Her teachings integrate various elemental movement styles focusing on strength, flow, embodiment, kriya /pranayama, and somatic practices, with a strong philosophical foundation rooted in Non-dual Shaiva and Shakta Tantric traditions. With a background in professional dance spanning almost two decades, Sara developed a refined understanding of body mechanics, movement exploration, and expressive embodiment. Movement was her first language for processing emotion and cultivating body awareness, which naturally evolved into a deeper study of yoga and somatic practices. She was introduced to yoga at the age of 15 through Ashtanga and Classical Hatha Yoga, sparking a lifelong study in various yogic traditions & lineages, movement, and spiritual practice. Over the past 10+ years, Sara has continued her studies across multiple disciplines including somatics, ritual practices, nervous system regulation, Mantra, Bhakti traditions, and women’s cyclical health and hormonal intelligence. Her work bridges traditional yogic wisdom with modern movement science, creating practices that support embodiment, emotional intelligence, and sustainable strength within the body. In addition to her yoga studies, Sara is also a certified personal trainer and fitness instructor, with training in strength, functional movement, and injury prevention. Her personal journey navigating chronic injuries and autoimmune conditions deepened her interest in women’s health and cyclical living, leading her to integrate practices that support hormonal balance, nervous system regulation, and embodied awareness. ​ Sara now facilitates international retreats, workshops, and Yoga Teacher Trainings, creating transformative spaces where movement, philosophy, ritual, and embodiment come together to support both personal growth and conscious facilitation.

INNIE
Innie first fell in love with Yoga because it helped her fall in love with herself: with her body, her heart, and her own truth. Yoga taught her that we can live from the heart, and that became the foundation of everything she now shares. She completed her first certification in Classical Hatha–Vinyasa, followed by a 50-hour Yin Yoga training. She is also a Reiki Master and a Sound Healing Practitioner and Teacher. After completing the Meditation & Yoga Teacher Training at Alchemy, she discovered Non-Dual Shaiva Tantra a tradition that felt like coming home, giving words to something she had always sensed within. This is now the ground from which her offerings arise. In her classes, she weaves storytelling, breath, movement, and Sound Healing to guide students inwards, inviting them to connect with themselves on the mat, to uncover their hidden potential, and to move forward with authenticity.
