Life is a feeling. When we understand this, we can truly live in our own authority and make choices that serve us.​ At Moved By Life: Lake District Yoga and Wellbeing, we have been exploring this idea through workshops and weekend retreats for over 15 years. Providing varied programmes for those embracing yoga for the first time through to experienced yoga practitioners. With the practice and teaching of yoga it is my purpose to remind every person of their pure potentiality. I look to inspire rather than influence and build a safe practice for everyone by working from the ground up. Through pragmatic and passionate delivery I weave the 7 spiritual laws of yoga into a functional and embodied experience.​In order to become limitless, we need limits. The paradox of freedom is that it only exists within limits. Through our workshops we can show limits through structure, establishing freedom to respond rather than react. By creating a relationship with gravity and nature, we can widen our energy field and interrogate our egoic mind, that false sense of who we are, moving from the 'I' to something greater than ourselves.​ Immerse yourself in nature. Set in the centre of the spectacular Lake District National Park and nestled in the natural environment of a mountain forest, I support students in making their own discoveries whilst offering practical methods to achieve this. With 500+ hours of teaching in Hatha, Vinyasa and Somatics my style reminds us that life is in the detail, this way we can re-sensitise to the world around us and move beyond the limiting mind.​ Yoga is about harmony and balance and after your time with us you will have a stronger understanding of what that means for you, allowing you to stay present and live life to your fullest potential.​​ I look forward to welcoming you.​ Sarah Pike – Founder, Moved By Life: Lake District Yoga and Wellbeing.

Loved every moment!
"Sarah's knowledge and experience was obvious and her lovely personality was injected into it making it a safe and very enjoyable experience. Oh my word, I wasn't expecting such a fabulous venue in a very special place. Again, Sarah took care of all the details making sure it was perfectly prepared for our arrival."

I'm Sarah, founder of Moved By Life: Lake District Yoga & Wellbeing. This is my husband Piotr, the person I feel is my home and who lovingly chops the wood to keep us all warm in our yoga yurt. I have been teaching Hatha and Vinyasa Yoga for over 13 years  and practicing for over 25 years. I am a  500hr Yoga Teacher in Hatha and Vinyasa with a Post Graduate Advanced Diploma in Somatics - Connections to the living the body, a 7307 Teaching certificate, Advanced Diploma in Counselling and  TRE (Trauma and Tension Release Exercises) provider certification. ​My approach is focused on embodied practice, waking up connections between each part of the body so we can experience our essential nature.  ​I have trained in Zen yoga at Anam Cara in Scotland and Vinyasa/Hatha yoga in Sampoorna in Goa, India. I love to teach and share embodied practices that support well being, regulation and joy in both body and mind.​
