Maui, Hawaii
Aloha Ohana
For over twenty years, I've been guiding students through the transformative practices of yoga and meditation. My journey has taken me from founding Yoga Nest Venice—a thriving studio I owned and operated for nearly a decade—to the sacred lands of Hawaii, where I now live intimately with the 'āina.
My teaching is heart-centered and presence-based, whether leading a fiery vinyasa flow, gentle hatha, or restorative yin practice. I weave together decades of training in yoga, qi gong, Tibetan Buddhism, Vedanta, somatic healing, and conscious awareness practices to create experiences that honor the whole person.
At Yoga Nest Venice, I served a vibrant international community and taught thousands of hours of classes and workshops. Now in Maui, I've returned to what lights me up most: intimate sessions, workshops, and practices that create genuine transformation.

" I found myself in Sara’s yin yoga class back in 2016 at a cozy studio in Venice, CA. This moment initiated a life enriching journey learning from a master teacher of the Vedas, Asanas, Mantras and Pranayama.
Sara with her multiplicity gifts as a facilitator, teacher and medicine woman has opened up spaces of various modalities aside from yoga with the quality of an unconditional love and compassion.
My life experience has truly been enhanced by learning and working over the years with Sara. If you are ready to begin a journey within or would like to deepen your personal practice, I recommend with a full heart that Sara Falugo will guide you to your true essence."

"Sara is a rare and precious gem ~ a fun-loving, singing, laughing, dancing rock star AND also a sweet, soft place to land. Being with her feels like being held by the Great Mother ~ safe, nurturing reassuring, and full of love. She has a beautiful way of guiding you into remembrance and helping you uncover the gold within the depths of your own soul. Through her writing circle I found my way back to my artistry I had lost for many years, and the most authentic and stunning poems began flowing through me again. I absolutely adore her and am so excited for her next offering!! "

"I have been following Sara for nearly a decade, and watching her evolution — from yoga teacher to studio owner, retreat builder, ceremony space holder, writing container host, and overall sage and mentor — has been one of the great privileges of my life. She is, quite simply, one of the most profound teachers I have ever encountered, and her wisdom and guidance have fundamentally changed how I live.
Sara is a force of nature, and yet somehow the most gentle and nurturing of souls. There is a quality to her presence that feels like open arms — a nest that is safe, warm, and expansive all at once. Whatever she offers, she curates with extraordinary care, and it shows. I have watched people fly in from around the world just to be in her orbit, and I would do the same without hesitation — to learn, to listen, to grow, and to evolve.
I cannot say enough about her as a human being, a teacher, or a guide. She has a rare and extraordinary gift for helping people step into the very best version of themselves, and anyone who has the opportunity to work with her is deeply lucky.
I would follow her anywhere, and participate in anything she creates. That is the highest endorsement I know how to give."

"Working with Sara in her yoga classes, and writers group, has been truly transformative. Through her guidance in yoga and stream-of-conscious writing, she helped me open my heart and mind in ways I never imagined. She is insightful, beautiful, healing, and deeply caring—an incredible human being whose presence alone uplifts everyone around her. Her love and compassion extend not only to people, but to animals, nature, and the world itself. I can honestly say she is one of the most profound, life-changing individuals I have ever had the privilege of knowing."

"I am so grateful to have Sara as my yoga instructor. She introduced me to the world of yoga in the most loving, supportive way. Being in her presence is a gift. Practicing yoga with her is life changing."
