The Journey
Sara Vargovic comes from a lovely small town in Croatia. From the age of 6 there was a growing curiosity to explore different types of movement, from Aikido and kickboxing she shifted her focus onto dance arts that she actively pursuits to this day. In 2015 her visit to Australia took her to the first Yoga class, and the journey of becoming a Yoga therapist and teacher has begun.
As Sara was a Pilates and Dance instructor it was a habit to support other teachers and take different classes - modern Yoga, Vinyasa and Ashtanga.
Sara continued exploring the world and discovered traditional Yoga classes, while living in Auckland, New Zealand. The post-class feeling was immediate and impactful. After doing some research she decided to go to the oldest Yoga Institute in India - The Yoga Institute in Mumbai, India and learn to become a Yoga teacher.
She continued teaching Yoga online and in person in Croatia (Osijek, Zagreb), in Toronto, Canada at Hand Over Hand organisation (Yoga for people with dissabilities), in Drey Dance Academy studio and Fairbank community center (Yoga and fitness classes with seniors). Currently she teaches Chair Yoga for seniors at community centers, corporate workshops and Hatha Yoga studio classes across Melbourne, Australia.
Sara’s degrees in PR and journalism led her to Events organisation and networking career to work with people from different places, helping her understand the needs people have. She recognised the need for healthier lifestyle and promoting wellbeing so she currently studies to become a Public Health professional trough Deakin University Masters course.
Certificates
Successful completion of 200hrs Yoga teacher training and 100hrs Yoga for Wellness courses in March 2020 resulted in a major life shift. Sara knew that the knowledge she received was a gift that needed to be shared with others. Being in the heat of the pandemic, the opportunity came to offer services of helping online.
To deepen her understanding of Yoga, Sara took 80hrs Adaptive (Chair) Yoga course with My Vinyasa practice (Texas, US), 50hrs Ayurvedic nutrition course by Jadranko Miklec, 50hrs Yoga philosophy course for Yoga teachers by Ricky Warren (London, UK) and 300hrs Yoga therapy course by Yogavidya Gurukul (Yoga point, Maharastra, India).
Sara holds a valid First Aid CPR Red Cross certificate and Yoga Teacher Insurance.

Today, Sara continues the duty of helping others improve their well-being through the practice. Classes follow traditional Hatha Yoga principles, where gracefulness, humility, and strength meet. Awareness of breath, maintaining a balance of mind and body, and creating a healthy lifestyle are just a glimpse of the healing benefits that come with practice.
Currently, she can be found in the studio and online teaching traditional Hatha Yoga, Yoga therapy for individuals and smaller groups, and conducting specially tailored retreats.
