Reconnect and Refresh
Our retreats offer a unique opportunity to step away from daily life and immerse yourself in yoga, meditation, and spiritual growth in serene locations, both nationally and internationally.
Since 2019, I have curated international spiritual and wellness retreats across Costa Rica, India, Nepal, Greece, and Peru. Having traveled to over 50 countries, I intentionally design each itinerary and destination (high-vibrational centers) to foster profound personal expansion and transformation. Throughout every journey, I hold a calm, grounding space to soothe the nervous system and help you navigate unexpected shifts with grace.
Donation-Based
Outdoor Yoga Classes
Since 2017, I have shared donation-based outdoor yoga across the greater Cleveland region, breaking down financial and social barriers to make practice truly accessible to everyone. Currently balancing motherhood, I host a weekly class on Sundays at 10 AM at Huntington Beachin Bay Village, Ohio. For daily donation-based options throughout Northeast Ohio, be sure to practice with my friends at Yoga For the People (@yogaforthepeoplecle on IG).

I feel so lucky and blessed to have studied and practice with some of the most wonderful, well-respected yoga and meditation teachers on the globe, and through these trainings I am able to share what I have learned. These teachers have not only helped shape my practice, they also helped to shape my life. The yoga and meditation teacher training I offer is a direct result of the experiences I have had while studying and practicing yoga in India over the course of several months, Nepal, Egypt, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Nicaragua, and the US.
My teacher trainings are rooted in the authentic teachings of yoga as passed down from my teachers (who received the lessons from their teachers). My lineages include Ashtanga Yoga as taught by Sarath Jois and Vipassana Meditation, a meditation technique passed down by Gautama Buddha. One of my previous teachers studied with BKS Iyengar directly herself!
My comprehensive teacher trainings teach yoga as a lifestyle rather than a practice that exists only on a yoga mat. My courses are full of yoga philosophy, spiritual insights, practical application of spiritual wisdom, spiritual growth, interpersonal growth, social growth, while also remaining deeply rooted in the ancient traditions.
This internationally acclaimed and Yoga Alliance and American Yoga Council approved Yoga and Meditation Teacher Training is designed for the dedicated, spiritually curious, and open-hearted individual seeking to deepen their understanding of themselves, yoga, and the art of helping others.
More than just a teacher certification, this program serves as an immersive journey into personal growth, healing, and transformational expansion on every level — mind, body, and spirit.

Student Testimonials
Read inspiring stories from our community members who have transformed their lives through yoga and spiritual practices with Sara Syed.
Madison M., 2026
"A life changing experience! Sara is the real deal and there’s no other YTT like this one. I can’t imagine any other studio would be as in-depth and well-rounded. I left feeling confident to teach."
Chloe P., 2026
"This teacher training was so incredibly impactful and transformative for me. Sara cultivates such deeply grounded and loving communities. She is an amazing teacher, who cares so much about understanding traditional/ancient yogic practices. I learned about such a large breadth of things in just 200 hours, and I grew immensely as a teacher and human. I would 100% recommend her trainings to anyone who wants to teach or just dive deeper."
Kelly M., 2023
"The 200 YTT is amazing! Strong emphasis on the roots of yoga and how it can truly be applied in the modern, Western world. Learned the specifics of asanas, including how to practice safely, contraindications, and which poses are best for which demographics. There was also training on specialized areas of yoga (i.e. prenatal and trauma) and what to expect if wanting to open your own studio. Would absolutely recommend to anyone looking to become a yoga teacher or just to deepen their practice."
