Sara-Mai Conway
Sara-Mai is a writer, yoga and meditation instructor who got her first passport before she even had an official birth certificate. (true story!) Since, she has traveled extensively through Europe, Asia, South America, Mexico and all over the US of A. Always open to new adventures, she learned to ride motorcycles and surf in her 30's and enjoys these hobbies as an excuse to explore new places.
In 2006, after a successful career as an NCAA Division I rowing coach, Sara-Mai found yoga when looking for new ways to cross-train for her own competitive racing. She was immediately impressed by the athleticism and physical challenge of the practice. Years later, it is the spiritual side of the practice that keeps yoga part of her daily regimen. Sara-Mai's classes are equally informed by her athleticism and her spiritual studies in Yogic philosophy and Tibetan Buddhism.
Sara-Mai completed a Master's Degree in Sport Management at the University of San Francisco in 2004 and is a 1999 graduate of Tufts University. She is a certified Experienced 200-hour Yoga Teacher under Yoga Alliance and a certified 500-hour Remedial Yoga and Applied Mindfulness Advanced teacher with Bodhi Yoga Spain under the Independent Yoga Network (UK).
As a writer, she is a regular contributor to the blog at Mindworks. She also writes for Mindfulness Exercises in addition to teaching in their mindfulness meditation teacher training certification program.
Outside of working hours, she can be found adventuring throughout Southern Baja and beyond with her husband, Travis, and their two dogs, Sport and Bijou.
