OWNER & FOUNDER

E-RYT 200 Trauma-Informed Trained

MindfulWorks was founded by Sarah Clark in 2019. As an educator and student of yoga, she instinctively incorporated yoga and mindfulness practices into her classroom before she decided to make it her full-time mission to teach yoga to kids in schools.

Sarah's journey with yoga began in 2010. Over the years her practice deepened, along with her love for teaching. She gained her formal classroom and Yoga teaching certifications in Taiwan, India, and Portland.

As a yoga and classroom teacher Sarah has taught ages K-12 in various settings including Montessori schools, after-school centers, retreats, preschools, and yoga studios.

Sarah sees this work as part of her service to others on her path of yoga and the mission of MindfulWorks to offer yoga and mindfulness to all children.

CYT 200 & CMT 200 (Meditation)

I was 16 years old when I stumbled upon a heart-centered yoga class and unknowingly, was the beginning of my yoga journey. I practiced on and off for 10 years, always coming back to the mindbody connection and grounding myself and my work in that energy. Yoga has brought me healing with my relationship to self and body, and joy in movement and expression. It has become a tool in my everyday life and infuses my work on and off the mat. 

I became a certified yoga and meditation teacher in 2023 at Sukha Yoga in Austin, TX not only to expand my personal practices, but to learn ways to share and open the door for others. It's been an honor to hold space for people of all ages and abilities to explore joyful movement and connect with self and community! I infuse my offerings with warmth and encouragement to trust oneself, a skill we can always grow. 

Working with youth is an absolute pleasure as I have worked with kids my entire professional career- their curiosity, playfulness and creativity inspires me to bring as much fun as I can to my classes!

RYT 200

During my second year of college, I took my first yoga class. During my first pregnancy ten years later, it was my participation in a “Yoga Way to Birth” series when the practice of Mindfulness brought Yoga to a deeper level for me and I had my first inspiration to teach Yoga.

In 2016 I did find my teacher, Susan Bass, and her school ‘The Sarasvati Institute of Ayurveda and Yoga Therapy’. I am currently studying the advanced curriculum and will have completed 1100 hours when I’m done!

My passion is bringing Yoga offerings to people at all Stages Of Life. In collaboration with Mindful Works, I am honored to practice Yoga with those in the 0-7 stage of development when these beautiful human beings have so recently joined us in life. And it’s so fun!

SUBSTITUTE TEACHER

RYT 300 Trauma-Informed Trained

Yoga is a gift I found early in life as a means to move the body and calm the mind. I began attending yoga classes with my mom in my youth and found that attending lunch-hour yoga classes was a great way to break up my day and destress from my corporate job later in life. I wanted to share that experience with others and decided to obtain my initial 300-hour Yoga Teacher Training (YTT) in 2017.

Since then, a TBI changed the trajectory of my career and I found myself teaching yoga full time and furthering my education; completing TBI YTT from Love Your Brain, Trauma-Informed Yoga Training with Street Yoga, Meditation Certification from Aura Wellness Center, Nutritionist Certification at ISSA and many other workshops and classes.

My yoga career began with teaching in studio group classes and has evolved to teaching one-on-one classes to students of all ages and abilities. I am honored to be a part of MindfulWorks and am passionate about the mission of offering the gift of yoga and mindfulness to children.
