ABOUT ME

​

My name is Sara, and I’m the founder of Wild Soul Studio.

​

Before opening the studio, I spent over twenty years working as a Registered Nurse. Much of that time was in high-pressure environments, including service as a nursing officer with the RAF during the Iraq and Afghanistan conflicts, and later working as the sole clinician in the Australian Embassy in Baghdad during the COVID pandemic.

​

Those roles required a particular way of being: steady under pressure, attuned to people and situations, able to respond calmly and clearly when things were uncertain. That way of working has shaped me deeply — and it continues to inform how I teach.

​

Alongside my nursing career, I trained as a yoga teacher, personal trainer, and massage therapist. Over time, these strands came together into a way of working that’s practical, perceptive, and grounded in real bodies and real lives.

​

WHY WILD SOUL STUDIO

​

Wild Soul Studio came into being through practice — and through listening.

​

It wasn’t created as a response to a problem to be fixed, but as an act of following what felt true. An offering, made without certainty about how it would unfold.

​

In the language of yoga, this is Ishvara Pranidhana — placing the work in service of something greater, and allowing practice to lead.

​

Wild Soul is a space for practice — not performance. A place where strength and softness aren’t opposites, and where awareness is cultivated gradually, through steady return.

​

We honour yoga’s roots here, not as an aesthetic, but as a living tradition. Yoga, at its heart, is a practice of union — a remembering. The postures, breath, and attention we work with on the mat are not ends in themselves, but gateways: ways of quieting distraction, refining awareness, and orienting toward something deeper.

​

Practice becomes a way of learning how to meet life — and oneself — with greater steadiness, humility, and clarity.

​

Nothing is forced. Nothing is imposed.
The practice reveals what it reveals, in its own time.

​

​

TEACHING STYLE

Classes are calm, intentional, and thoughtfully structured.

​

You won’t be pushed to perform, fix yourself, or reach for intensity for its own sake. Instead, you’ll be guided to move with awareness, build strength intelligently, and develop a relationship with your body that feels trustworthy and sustainable.

​

Small group sizes allow teaching to remain personal without being overwhelming. You’re seen here, but not scrutinised. Supported, without being rushed.

​

This is practice for people who want depth without drama, strength without hardness, and a way of moving that carries beyond the mat and into daily life.

​

​

ABOUT THE SPACE

​

Wild Soul Studio was created as a place for embodied practice.

​

It exists for people who want to move with awareness, build sustainable strength, and spend time in their bodies without pressure or performance.

​

Classes are intentionally small, allowing for attention without intensity. Practice unfolds gradually, with space to explore, refine, and grow stronger over time.

​

It’s not a place to be worked on or rescued.

​

It’s a place to practise — to move, breathe, and develop a steady, respectful relationship with your body.

​
