Sarah Fratesi. B.Sc.Ed, E-RYT500, PTS, CRMP | Co-Founder/Owner

Sarah has been teaching yoga for over 15 years, but at the heart of her work is something simple: helping people feel more connected to themselves.

A teacher by trade and lifelong student at heart, Sarah’s path began with a Bachelor of Science in Education and eventually expanded far beyond the traditional classroom. Her love of movement, mindfulness and wellness led her to pursue extensive training in yoga, meditation, breathwork, Pilates, fitness, Reiki and other holistic practices. She believes that the best teachers never stop learning, and that every new experience offers another opportunity to grow, evolve and better support the people we teach.


Sarah is the co-owner of The Healing Loft and co-founder of Align Yoga Method, a registered yoga school offering 200 and 300 Hour Yoga Teacher Trainings, specialty and advanced trainings, community events, festivals and retreats. Through Align, she has had the opportunity to combine two things she has always loved: learning and teaching.

Over the years, Sarah has led classes, workshops, retreats and wellness experiences throughout Northern Ontario and has developed and delivered programming for businesses, corporate wellness initiatives and post-secondary institutions. Whether she is teaching a room full of new yoga teachers, leading a retreat or guiding a weekly class, her intention remains the same: to create experiences that feel welcoming, meaningful and accessible.

Her teaching is rooted in the belief that yoga isn't about performing a pose perfectly or fitting into a certain version of what a practice should look like. It is about learning to listen to your body, becoming curious about yourself and finding practices that support you through the different seasons of your life. Sarah encourages her students to move with intention, honour where they are and remember that there is always more to discover.

Because sometimes the most meaningful journey is the one that brings you back to yourself.
