Sarah Fields

Dr. Sarah Fields, founder of OmyGoddess Retreats and long time yogini LOVES gathering in healing spaces with other women. She believes it is imperative that we do in these times. This kind of group bonding allows us to cry and laugh without being judged. To talk about the frustrations and elations of the soul without worry of being labeled or feeling like we have to keep up the pretense of holding it all together. These retreats allow for us to feel our emotions fully, without being named hysterical. Allow for passion, without being called crazy. Allow us to fully realize and express ourselves without fear.

Sarah has taught yoga and acupuncture combined for over 23 years. WHY? Well these practices regulate the flow of energy in the body and mind in order to remove negative tendencies and blocks. The goal is to allow our natural state of sanity and wisdom to emerge.  Yoga practices vary according to each lineage and tradition, though some practices are more common, such as the nine purifications breathing practice in which we will train in this each morning. The quality of meditation is more important than the quantity. It would be better to sit for 10 minutes of alert presence rather than two hours of day-dreaming and we will train in this each morning. When we pay attention to our body, it changes. Our breath changes and our mind state changes with it.
