Sarah Doyle Yoga Teacher

Meet Oviedo prenatal yoga teacher Sarah Doyle

Sarah has years of experience teaching prenatal yoga, including throughout her own twin pregnancy. She uses her unique birth-worker knowledge as well as extensive yoga training to provide practical tips in every class for a more comfortable pregnancy and powerful tools for birth. Each class begins with a check in, so that the flows can be tailored to the students’ unique needs. After savasana, stick around for a mug of tea and good conversation.

What to expect: Our casual and fun classes are a great opportunity to try something new for beginners, or to deepen your practice safely and effectively for more experienced yogis. Music, good conversation, and friendly bursts of laughter throughout the sessions make them approachable and delightful for all skill levels.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q. How do I sign up for in-person classes?

Go to the Zen Space Wellness Studio website and click "explore the studio" for class options. Scroll to Fridays for our yoga class. (Sometimes the scroller can be a little wonky - click within the beige area to scroll.)

Click the "sign up" button, choose between a drop in class and a class pass and pay to reserve your spot. 

Pro tip: Sign up in advance for convenience and to reserve a spot in our small studio.

Q. What should I bring/wear?

If you own a yoga mat, please bring it with you. If not, no worries, you can borrow one of ours.

Dress comfortably in something you can easily move around in, such as leggings or bike shorts (that stay up when you bend over), and a t-shirt or tank top with a sports bra. Racerback tops are helpful to avoid pesky straps falling down.  

Please leave shoes in a cubby. 

Q. When should I get there?

Please plan to arrive a few minutes early to complete sign-in and set up your mat and props.

If you have any requests or concerns, please let your teacher know before class so she can address them safely and offer modifications during class.

While we prefer students be on time, if you are running a couple of minutes late, we hope you will still join us. We understand life happens and pregnancy sometimes slows us down. 

Q. How much does it cost?

Drop-in classes are $20 each (with multipasses available for a lower rate).Â
