Sarah Mangan Yoga
Mobility, Stability, Flexibility
About Sarah
I’ve always been an active person with a keen interest in sports and fitness. I did ballet, tap, modern and jazz dancing until I was 18 which first gave me an understanding of the importance of flexibility and movement. My awareness of how to use the breath effectively to control anxiety and enhance focus came as I gained my PADI open water diving qualification. I love the outdoors and hill walk & paddle board (when the weather and schedule permits). I’ve also run multiple 10K’s and half marathons such as the Liverpool 10K and the Great North Run.
I fell in love with yoga back in 2018 when I began to attend classes just for my own fitness. I quickly discovered yoga was the sweet spot that brought together all of the benefits from my previous activities, strength, balance, stamina, and flexibility. Before my family (or my bank balance) knew what had hit it I had booked myself onto a yoga teacher training course in India. I travelled to India and trained with some very well known & respected teachers to get my 200-hr Ashtanga Vinyasa teacher training qualification. I just love everything about yoga and how it can change people’s lives and fitness. I’ve subsequently continued my learning by taking a tonne of courses since my first YTTC, including Rocket Yoga Teacher training which is what I practice myself on a regular basis and absolutely love. I have also specialised in Yoga Sports Science, as I have a real passion for helping transform the mobility, stability and flexibility of everyone from those who just want to improve their overall health & fitness or recover from an injury using a tailor-made yoga practice right through to elite sports professionals.
Thank you!
I just also would like to add here that I couldn’t have done any of this if it wasn’t for a very supportive and patient family! They’ve backed me all the way and understand when I disappear to do yet another course or go on a retreat that I really cannot miss!!
Thank you also to my absolute superb teachers – you know who you are!!!! And to my great yoga friends and students who have encouraged me and been super kind enough to write testimonials to put on this website.
You all Rock, thank you!!

To turn a pretty much impromptu photo shoot into so many amazing shots of someone who is not comfortable in front of the camera is a real skill .
I salute you @gemma.b.photography @gemma.bringloe .
Also an equally last minute drafting in of @carinaflows who made an excellent beautiful assistant.

I’ve been working with Niall since the beginning of March as he came to me after an injury hoping I may be able to help.
The first photo was taken on 3rd March after we went through a variety of passive range of movement tests to get a baseline reading to determine where he had restricted movement in the body which may have contributed to his injuries. This guided my sequencing.
Over a period of months we worked on mobility, flexibility, stability & breathing techniques to bring him back towards normal ranges of movement . Last week I reassessed him and he his ROM had improved significantly moving from restricted to normal ranges in the majority of areas.
These two photos of sit & reach, although only showing one small example of what we had been working on, are an easy visual to show his progress in just this one posture.
His determination and commitment to improve his body means he can return to preseason with confidence. Ready for the season ahead .

Last Wednesday my wonderful Dad passed away peacefully in his sleep on the day I was due to leave for @rocketbeatslondon yoga retreat @the_quaives in Canterbury.
The retreat was kind of bad timing but actually amazing timing because it really helped distract me, I was able to start to process my loss and it helped to prepare me mentally for the next stage of sorting out his funeral and belongings.
I’m so glad I went.
It was the most amazing experience.
4 days of full on hardcore Rocket yoga with the absolute legends that are @alanellmanyoga & @imiwiseman.
Plus I had the absolute pleasure of practicing side by side with the amazing @lauramcvicker @rafaelk_3 @kristin_1972 @callyaudrey @moniyogilondon and all the rest of the most welcoming, fun loving, upbeat & happy bunch of like minded rocketeers.
It is a moment in my life that I will never ever forget as @rocketbeatslondon got me through some of the toughest days of my life and the wonderful Mary & Pablo made sure we all ate magnificently to feed our souls.
Honestly I cannot thank all of you enough for such a fantastic retreat full of fun , laughter , food, walks, booze, hot tubbing , techno and very very very sweaty mental yoga as we were put through our paces by Imi & Alan. What a team.
All done with the stunning Quaives countryside retreat as our backdrop - once home to @christinemcvieofficial from Fleetwood Mac.
Perfection ❤️❤️❤️

On Tuesday night I had the absolute pleasure of teaching yoga to the Hoppers first XV rugby squad.
I think it’s fair to say they enjoyed themselves.
It was a bit of a tight squeeze but that added to the atmosphere and enjoyment of the night.
The players embraced every moment of it and the coaching team and the club really made me feel so welcome.
It was great.
Thank you for having me @rugbyhoppers.
I am really looking forward to our next session and thank you for the introduction @paulgraysonrugby

Today is National Stress Awareness Day and to help the pupils of @maricourtchs relax their busy minds and calm down their nervous system we practiced the ancient Indian technique of Yoga Nidra, which can amongst other things help relieve stress.
We also practiced yogic breathing.
I hope over the course of my sessions with them they will really start to feel the benefits long term.

After being unwell early September I’ve struggled to build my strength back and I’ve found it frustrating as my practice is my way of meditating …..my moving meditation!
It enables me to find clarity and strength not just in my body but in my mind.
Finally after small consistent steps of practice, focus & concentration I can feel myself coming back.
Some of my Instagram friends have reminded me lately to trust this process, focus inwards and it will happen.
When you practice you find
Discipline.
Become disciplined in what you want to achieve, it’s those small consistent steps that we take each day that add up to our goals and help us get to where we want to go.

The gym in the hotel we were at has these statements on the wall to inspire you as you train.
They got me thinking
as yoga ticks many of those boxes.
A well rounded yoga practice can cultivate
-coordination
-flexibility
-strength
-balance
And can enhance your agility
So if you want to join me and improve your fitness with rocket vinyasa 🚀🚀🚀🚀 yoga then I’ll be at the brilliant & very welcoming
Fitness Lab this Thursday night
And every Tuesday & Thursday at 7.30pm
See you there.

I’m my own worst critic , I look at this picture and think ……..
well my hips aren’t quite aligned properly and my raised leg isn’t as straight as it could be…….etc etc etc ……
But really yoga isn’t about the perfect pose it’s about devoting energy to working on the body and the mind to reach the soul …….. it’s the journey of the self, through the self to the self (The Bhagavad Gita)
Are we really willing to let go?
Can we drop the expectations and relax into steady progress without giving up ?
Without getting frustrated ??
Can we ?
Yeah course …… isn’t that how we should approach everything in life.
“Nothing in life worth having comes easy” 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Be grateful for where you are right now ❤️🧘🏻♀️

One of my own yoga teachers, the wonderful Imi Wiseman told us recently during our practice “to come out of our comfort zone” in a pose and try something new, maybe change the direction of the gaze, or release the grip on a pose and trust our strength or flexibility in an asana.
Yoga teaches us to focus on the breath to guide us through a challenging posture and help us channel our concentration.
Yoga reminds us that we can make it through difficult times and that we can handle uncomfortable situations and move onto the next posture without having attachment and to just let go of what did or didn’t happen.
The lessons we learn in our asana practice can be applied to physical , mental and emotional challenges in our everyday life .
Yoga teaches us to respond and to not react, to be mindful and to be patient.
Yoga really is a way of life,
The skills we develop on the mat really can impact our life in positive and powerful ways.

Eka pada rajakapotasana
King pigeon pose
Stretches the entire front of the body, the ankles, thighs, groin area, abdomen, chest and throat.
Builds strength in the back muscles
Stretches the hip flexors (psoas)
Improves posture.
The physical practice of yoga brings you to stillness, makes you present in that moment, makes you come inward -
Drawing your attention/ your concentration to the breath and to the body.
Just Be.

Every Friday morning two gorgeous sisters come to me for a private yoga class, today we took it outside in the sunshine and practiced with the sounds of the birds as a backdrop and a few drills. 😂😂😂😂😂😂
It was absolutely lovely not only to share the energy outside but to see them develop their practice in their own way.
I love teaching you both thank you for sharing your energy and your breath with me this morning ladies xxxxxxxxx🧘🏻♀️🧘🏻♀️🧘🏻♀️🧘🏻♀️🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Post practice Yoga high🧘🏻♀️🧘🏻♀️🧘🏻♀️🧘🏻♀️
Yoga makes me so happy 😀
A variety of yoga practices such as postures, meditation, breathing and relaxation techniques positively impact the main endocrine glands responsible for the release of the happy chemicals - dopamine, endorphins, oxytocin, seratonin
Do you get that happy feeling after your chosen exercise?
If you would like to benefit from this positive energy come practice with me.
I will be starting teaching at the Fitness Lab, Birkdale this coming Tuesday at 7.30 pm.

Yoga teaches us to remain calm and focus on the breath to quieten the mind when faced with challenging asanas or stressful situations.
Inversions also increase the blood flow to the brain giving it more oxygen, boosting concentration allowing you to think clearly amongst other things.
I personally love being upside down it helps me think
and it’s @fionaraikesyoga that got me started and I’ve not looked back since😘
Beautiful beautiful yoga studio

After thousands and thousands of vinyasas and asanas I felt it time for a new mat as my old trusted friend was pretty worn thin at either end.
Then when I put the two mats together old and new -
I realised how worn out the old one actually was .
But it got me through my 200hours in India and yoga practice every single day since, so it’s just going to be placed to one side for now🥰🥰🥰🥰

Can’t recommend Liforme mats enough, I’ve tried several and for me they are the very best.

Anyone who has been to my classes and practiced with me knows I place a great deal of emphasis on the breath.
I teach many different breathing techniques to help my students take conscious control over their breath and help them calm the nervous system down and activate the parasympathetic.
With it being Mental Health Awareness week I thought it necessary to highlight the benefits of breathing deeply and consciously and how it can help quieten the mind and nervous system.
Deep conscious breathing can:
Calm us down
Reduce stress
Increase alertness
Improve blood flow to the brain
Boost the immune system
Help control concentration
Improve vitality .
All this leads to contentment .
Most people breathe incorrectly and only use a small part of their lung capacity, and shallow breathe.
Irregular breathing disrupts the rhythms of the brain and leads to physical, emotional & mental blockages which can cause stress.
In Yoga we give a lot of importance to breathing/ pranayama and how the mind and the emotions are linked.
It is difficult to control the mind, But it is possible to control the breath!
Conscious breathing has an emotionally calming effect.
Even developing simple breath awareness without even taking active control will result in a regular and relaxing rhythm which will help still the mind, enhance our mood positively and improve our physical health .
Do you actually know how to breathe properly and effectively ?
Did you know that the breath and mind are linked ?
Would you like to learn techniques to help you activate the parasympathetic nervous system - the rest and digest response which releases positive endorphins?
Rather than the fight or flight response which is often triggered when we shallow breathe?

Reiki is a Japanese form of alternative medicine called energy healing. Reiki practitioners use a technique called palm healing or hands-on healing through which a "universal energy" is said to be transferred through the palms of the practitioner to the patient in order to encourage emotional or physical healing.
It can also been done from a distance, and does not require me to be “hands on” or even in the same room.
The word Reiki comes from 2 Japanese words
Rei = universal
Ki = life energy
This energy is the same as Chi in Chinese Medicine and Prana in Indian Yogic Philosophy.
When this energy flows uninterrupted in our bodies there is harmony and balance within and around us and we experience a sense of well-being.
But when there has been physical injury or emotional pain the energy can stagnate in the body and cause blockages which can result in stress and even physical & mental illnesses.
Reiki aims to help the flow of energy in the body and clear the blockages and restore balance.
Reiki is an alternative healing therapy which enhances the body’s own ability to self heal and should be used as a compliment to other treatments to facilitate the healing process in the body.
If you are interested in knowing more about Reiki or having a session please contact me.

I took my first in person Yoga Nidra class today with one of my lovely one to one regulars. It was an amazing experience as I know my client won’t mind me saying this but they went very deep and really did experience the healing powers of Yoga Nidra!
For those who don’t know
Yoga Nidra is an ancient technique where the practitioner enters a deep state of conscious relaxation.
It is a practice of moving the awareness from external to internal, Where the brain activity reduces and the body relaxes.
It is said that one hour of Yoga Nidra can give the same benefits as a four hour sleep!
YN can be practiced by anyone and holds immense benefits for all of those who :-
Struggle to let go
Suffer from lack of sleep
Trauma
Burnout
Anxiety
And much more
It’s also holds great healing powers for anyone who wants to experience
A deeper sense of peace
And reconnect more profoundly with themselves and become free from the fluctuations of the mind!
If done regularly Yoga Nidra can lead to deep healing and reprogram deep habit patterns and emotional disturbances rooted in the subconscious.
“It is a state in which you are neither asleep nor awake”
Swami Satyananda
If you would like to learn more or would be interested in trying yoga nidra for yourself then please do reach out to me. 🧘🏻♀️😍
