Safara Fisher

Yoga Teacher

(she/her)

Safara found yoga in part by way of her mother’s devoted 40+ years practice and through discovery of “her healthy'' physical, mental and spiritual life. As a person in recovery from 20 years of a digestive dis-ease she is aware of physical illness and trauma in the body. She applies this awareness to her teaching and encourages yoga as a self-love practice accessible to all. Trauma-Informed Yoga trained and YACEP Yoga Alliance Certified training in Accessible Yoga and Chair Yoga for Every Body. It is her intention that she may serve to represent the diversity of racial and cultural community of yogis with invisible disabilities and promote inclusivity.

Fun Fact: My name - my parents made it up while they lived in Mogadishu, Somalia. It comes from the Arabic word "safar" to travel. My father then became a diplomat so I traveled the world- go figure!
