Yoga: From the Outside, In with Sarah Bell

Week of July 18, 2026

Sarah will teach daily yoga classes focusing on alignment: Coursing your attention through the body from the ground up enables you to engage your mind in the moment. The nature of the mind is to flicker, and by bringing it to focus intentionally, the quietude illuminates the inner freedom that is accessible any time you need it. 

Sarah will teach also workshops about how bringing the principles of yoga to your daily life will impact your capacity for equanimity amidst the challenges of our modern life. 

Afternoon workshops offered for alleviating “text neck,” and restorative yoga classes for experiencing deep rest.

 

Sarah Bell has been a longtime Ranch enthusiast since her first visit (and first formal yoga class ever) in 1989.  

Sarah has been teaching Hatha Yoga since 1994. Her interest in Yoga deepened with Erich Schiffmann in Santa Monica, who became her first teacher-trainer and mentor. She was a sought-after teacher there at Yoga Works for a decade, under the tutelage of the late Maty Ezraty, until she left California to join the fitness staff at the Ranch in 2004. 

Sarah moved to New York City and taught more than 30 teacher-training courses for Yoga Works there, across the country, and internationally.  

She continued to refine her teaching skills at the Iyengar Yoga Institute of New York, where she assisted James Murphy in his beginner classes. 

Sarah moved to Grand Junction, Colorado, in 2018 and continues to teach privately and online. She mentors teachers in communication, methodology, and philosophy. 

 Her love of the ever-evolving practice of Yoga and her joy in sharing the wisdom of its principles with new and seasoned students alike keep her classes fresh, instructive, light, and intuitive. Sarah invites students of every level to be curious about how their minds work to create trouble, and guide them to cultivate a sense of humor so they can take the reins themselves and discover sustainable inner peace.
