Meet Sarah

Hello, and welcome. I’m Sarah, the founder and director of Karmiyoga, an award winning Yoga, Meditation & Coaching company in Brighton & Hove. I was initiated with the name 'Sivakarmi' on my initial Yoga teacher training in India, 2007, and since Karmiyoga sounds like, and is a word-play on, "calm-me" yoga, I chose this for my business name.

For two decades I’ve been working in the yoga, health & wellness industry, firstly as Journalist/author writing features (and two books!), for women's magazines and national press, and then as a Classical Hatha and Dru Yoga & Meditation Teacher, a Reiki Master (healer/teacher) and Intuitive Life Coach, drawing on holistic healing modalities, practical strategies and mindfulness.

Since 2020, my career moved much into the digital arena as I focused on creating online platforms to promote wellbeing, beauty, natural healing and healthy living, offering online sessions, alongside some in-person bespoke events for corporate and celebratory yoga groups.

Primarily now I’m a content creator, a brand ambassador and a model, working with ethical and cruelty free/clean beauty brands. I look forward to hearing from you regarding UGC collaboration and modelling photoshoots.

I've also partnered with a German-founded frequency technology company called Healy, that uses frequency programs to harmonise your Bioenergetic Field in all areas, from skin and beauty, mental/emotional health to quantum field analyses to align you with your highest vision. If you’d like to know more, drop me an email to chat.

I look forward to connecting with you!

In August 2023 I was thrilled that Karmiyoga was nominated, and awarded by the Southern Enterprise Awards: "Best Yoga, Meditation & Coaching company", Brighton and Hove, and then in 2025, "Most Empowering Female Mindfulness & Coaching Specialist" - Brighton & Hove.

We booked Sarah’s class for my hen do! We started Saturday with morning yoga on the beach which was perfect! Sarah was prompt at replying, it was easy to organise and honestly it was such a wonderful way to start the weekend!!! Her yoga class was both grounding, calming and fun. Highly recommend Sarah’s yoga classes!!!

Sarah was an absolute delight - great fun, learnt a lot and everyone feeling very zen :) Booking process was seamless, and Sarah was very accommodating to our groups needs (moving her normal location to fit around our itinerary was so generous :) ). Sarah catered to all levels, took great pics of our group, and ensured each member had fun. You are guaranteed a great yoga session/experience when you book through Sarah!

We loved our yoga session on my friends hen do! Sarah was very accommodating and the booking process was very simple. The class was really relaxing and she was able to accommodate different levels and a pregnant friend! Loved the partner exercises too, really fun. Highly recommend!

Sarah is a very intuitive lady. I first met her doing her yoga outside on the lawns & we became friends. I've now known her for 12 years. She has multi talents. Firstly yoga which i adore with her & just love the sound of her soothing voice. It's very appropriate. Dru yoga is fabulous as its flowing & not full of strong poses. Great as you age i think. I have done many classes with her over the years. Secondly, she has given me a Reiki session which knocked the socks off my interpretation of relaxed. Beautifully calmed restored & rejuvenated. I felt delightfully floating afterwards. I'd not experienced reiki before so had no idea what to expect. Highly recommend sarah for anything she puts her hands to as she's a grounded individual that takes time to listen & care about her clients.

I first discovered Sarah’s yoga 7 years ago, and still love it; always kind to the body and spirit, intuitive and life-affirming. Sarah’s experience and self-knowledge shine through all that she does.

I have been attending Sarah’s yoga sessions for several years both in the studio, and at her lovely outdoor beach yoga sessions on Hove lawns in the Summer. I have also booked her for a 1 to 1 session which was really relaxing and beneficial. I have also attended one of her fabulous retreats in beautiful Kefalonia. Sarah works very much with energy as well as traditional yoga asanas and I love how she creates these unique sessions. Sarah has also trained me in Reiki level 1. Sarah’s sessions are gentle, healing, restorative, relaxing and accessible for all. I would highly recommend Sarah.

I absolutely love Sarah's yoga teaching. I've been a regular at classes since 2014 - outdoor yoga, indoor yoga, Zoom yoga... I've also been on a few of her retreats in beautiful Kefalonia. Classes are always really soothing, rebalancing and restorative. She has a wonderfully gentle and authentic way of teaching. I highly recommend to anyone!

It was fabulous, I've never done partner yoga before but really enjoyed it. Instructor was calming and had a really lovely demeanor. Right by the sea which was relaxing and peaceful. Fantastic experience

Sarah hosted a wonderful private ocean yoga session along the beachfront especially for our hen do, a rejuvenating start to the weekend activities! The session included fun partner yoga poses which was a great laugh, and a goodie bag for the bride. Highly recommend for a hen party - Sarah is very accommodating and ran an inclusive session for the different level of yogis. Thanks Sarah!

Sarah’s yoga sessions are always exactly what I need and I leave feeling refreshed, relaxed and energised. Whether it’s in person and on zoom, her classes are always a pleasure.

You'll regain balance and flexibility as Sarah gently puts you back in touch with your forgotten self (hello body, it's me!). So relax, stretch and SMILE, then prepare to be transformed.

I experienced Sarah's conscious coaching as part of an integrated yoga retreat in Kefalonia. it added another layer to the whole experience that has stayed with me back at home. planting ideas and enquiry that works on the subconscious in powerful ways. a year on re-reading my notes i realised that much of those seeds have come into fruition in my life! i highly recommend Sarah to guide you.

In the coaching sessions with Sarah I was able to pinpoint the issues that have been holding me back with promoting my work as an artist. Sarah helped me to see that I needed to allow time for myself to plan and give space around the creative process, and to allow it to fit in and around my domestic life as well, knowing that I can move forward and achieve results in bite-size pieces of time, and acknowledge what I do achieve. She is a great listener and offers a safe space to discuss personal and professional issues that might be impacting on someone moving forward with and recognising their goals. She feeds back on discussions at the end of each session, and even emailed notes to help keep me on track, which I found massively useful. I fully recommend Sarah as a Coach. Kate S, Artist

I've been attending Sarah's yoga classes for around 6 years and first experienced her life coaching as part of a soulful retreat in Kefalonia. The session helped me focus on which areas of my life I wanted to work on and gave me the tools to continue independently. More recently, I booked a 30 minute coaching session as I was having a difficult time at work and in general. Sarah helped me see clearly the positives and negatives of my current situation and my options, and helped me feel much more conviction in where I wanted to be! She strikes the perfect balance between pragmatism and helping you see the art of the possible. Thank you Sarah for your warm encouragement and guidance!
