Started a month ago and I’m already feeling more flexible. Absolutely love the sense of peace I feel after each session. Sarah is a great teacher, she understands my limitations as a beginner and not only helps me move through the yoga poses with ease but also makes it enjoyable. Highly recommend!

About IRL YOGA-Practical Traditional Lessons
IRL YOGA employs traditional Ashtanga Yoga as its teacher . IRL Yoga offers thoughtful, personalized yoga for individuals, groups, workplaces, and life’s meaningful moments — including private, partner, prenatal, mental-health-informed, recovery-friendly, corporate, and community-based practices — all grounded in traditional Ashtanga yoga. Alongside movement and breath, IRL Yoga also offers Ayurvedic lifestyle assessments, gently translating ancient wisdom into daily living. These assessments create personalized rhythms that may include supportive daily routines, nourishing food guidance, relationship awareness, and movement recommendations — all tailored to your unique body–mind constitution. This work is beginner-friendly and works within your own framework of belief. It is not about perfection — it is about steadiness, ease, and learning how to live well. ⸻ The Eight Limbs of Ashtanga Yoga Ashtanga yoga is a complete system for living, not just a physical practice. The Eight Limbs offer a gentle framework for balance in daily life: • Movement (Asana): mindful postures that build strength, mobility, and awareness • Breath (Pranayama): breath practices that calm the nervous system and steady the mind • Personal Ethics: cultivating kindness, honesty, and care toward oneself • Social Ethics: living with integrity and awareness within community • Sense Withdrawal: learning healthy detachment from overstimulation • Meditation: gently training the mind to focus • Sustained Meditation: developing steadiness and presence • Realization : a natural sense of ease and inner balance Together, these limbs cultivate stability and ease in equal measure. ⸻ A Traditional, Human Approach IRL Yoga is taught in a traditional, student-centered way. Teacher and student work together so that, over time, the student becomes less dependent on instruction and more rooted in their own breath, body, and awareness. Yoga, at its heart, is the stilling of the fluctuations of the mind. With Peace, Sarah Skinner , Founder IRL Yoga
Reviews
I scheduled a session with Sarah on September 29th for a girls weekend yoga session on 11/8/25 at 10:00am. We had clear communication and I paid the deposit when requested. After I paid the deposit I didn’t hear back. I texted her 2 hours before she was supposed to show up and never received a response. We were really looking forward to this experience and it not only affect our weekend I am also incredibly embarrassed. I’m hoping she will refund my deposit.
Very pleased, would repeat when back in the dfw metroplex area
I recently had the pleasure of hosting a private yoga class with Ashta Yoga for some friends visiting from out of town. The class took place on my pool deck, and she provided everything we needed, including mats and blocks. The entire experience was nothing short of amazing and incredibly relaxing. She was so lovely and kind to work with, making us all feel comfortable from the start. On top of that, she shared some wonderful stories, adding a personal touch that made the session even more memorable. I highly recommend Ashta Yoga—it’s a fantastic activity that left us all feeling rejuvenated and peaceful. Truly a great experience!
Listens to my needs. Not only offers great service but is an excellent teacher.
I am so impressed with the quickness in which I was replied to and my session is booked already! She's very punctual and professional!
I recently met Sarah for a private yoga session in my home and was beyond impressed with her yoga knowledge and experience. She understood my needs and concerns as I recently recovered from knee surgery. She knew which specific poses would help me strengthen the areas I need to as I continue to recover. She backed up everything she taught me from her yoga book and explained how and why they should be my targets. She can focus on yoga theories as well as the various poses. In the hour we were practicing, I learned so much! I do recommend Sarah for any types of Ashtanga yoga sessions as she seems to know her stuff and has the perfect personality that would seem to fit any environment!
My husband and I have been working with Sarah since spring of this year. It's been fantastic. Sarah does a great job of assessing her client's needs and tailoring each session to meet those needs. My husband's flexibility has improved greatly and we've consistently been able to accomplish more each week. It's also been a uniquely special way for us to connect. Highly recommend for anyone whose curious in the practice of yoga!
Sarah is very professional and knowledgeable and teaches with enormous passion.
I love Ashta Yoga, It has helped me tremendously in my healing journey. The traditional yoga techniques I learned currently help with the physical, mental and spiritual aspects of self. It’s a practice I didn’t know I needed until I tried it and took it seriously. By Highly recommend Sarah as an instructor, she is amazing!! 💕
Of the many methods I’ve tried, this is by far the best type of therapy for me. The perfect blend of physical and mental strengthening I’ve been searching for. I will keep coming back. “Yoga is stilling the fluctuations of the mind” and boyyy does my mind fluctuate! Through each visit I learn something new and Sarah has a way of knowing what I need each week as I’m forever changing. Thank you Sarah! 🙏 See you next week! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I am very happy to have met Sarah and try her enriched yoga class. She is very kind and patient. She guilds you and helps you even when you’re a beginner like myself. I value the traditional aspect of taking Ashtanga Yoga in this setting as it truly opens up the full potential and healing of the body as a whole. She is very well educated and the value for her classes go beyond the buck. You’ll be happy working with Sarah as your instructor.
I’ve had my second session/lesson and so much has already begun to change for me. I didn’t expect her to care and address the mental aspects of yoga. I expected to just get on a mat and start bending (tells you what my knowledge level is at this point :)) The care and though she puts in to help you address your overall health is exactly what a person needs. After all we are a mental and physical body. Quite relaxing and comfortable. She is so kind and generous with her knowledge. Whether you’ve begun in the past and stopped or you’ve never bent over to touch your toes (btw you will when she gets finished with you lol) she’s what you need. Be prepared to put in the work, you’ll feel energized and renewed in a different way-for sure. If your skeptical take her first session and you’ll see. You owe yourself the very best kind and body but you’ll have to get started at some point.
