Sara Avant Stover took her first yoga class at age 18, sat in her first meditation retreat a few years later, and knew immediately that she would devote her life to teaching. After a health scare in her early 20s, Sara moved to Chiang Mai, Thailand where she lived for 9 years, embarked on a healing odyssey throughout Asia, and, as a multi-certified yoga teacher, served as one of the pioneer yoga teachers in that part of the world. Since that time she has studied with the leading spiritual masters of our time and has taught 3,000 students in over a dozen different countries.
