Owner of Albuquerque prenatal yoga business, Baby Moon Yoga, Sarah Gorham Silverman (pronouns she/her/they) has been practicing yoga and related types of mindful movement for over 20 years and began teaching in 2008. Yoga to her is a way to de-stress, slow down, feel good – and ultimately be and feel more like herself. Since having children, she has particularly focused on the nervous system regulating aspects of the practice and feeling strong and integrated.
Sarah grew up in the Piney Woods of East Texas and began a steady yoga practice while living in Austin TX. She is grateful to have learned from many exceptional teachers, one being a long-time teacher to her, Christina Sell. In addition, Sarah has extended trainings in Prenatal and Postpartum Yoga and Yoga for Fertility and during Menstruation. Throughout the past 15 years she has taught in many locations around Albuquerque including UNM, Hot Yoga Downtown, Sweat, & Bhava, where she taught for nearly 10 years and co-owned for a short time. At Bhava Yoga Studio, in addition to teaching alignment yoga classes, Sarah created and co-taught special workshops & teacher trainings.
Sarah’s classes are typically an infusion of strong alignment and form woven into slow, juicy, and feel-good flows. When our lives feel in alignment, it feels good – and the same can be true for the body – when we’re moving in a way that is smart and aligned – it feels great.
Sarah currently teaches All Levels of group yoga classes, Prenatal Yoga, Parent and Baby Yoga, Fertility Yoga, and private yoga lessons in-person or via Skype & Zoom. Sarah has been teaching Albuquerque prenatal yoga for over a decade. She began the prenatal yoga program at Nirguna Yoga in 2018 but decided to leave and start Baby Moon Tri-Fit after 2 summers of the owners not being willing to help cool down the room, which resulted in pregnant women overheating during class. Appropriate room temperature is a priority to Sarah for prenatal safety and comfort.
Sarah lives in the foothills of Albuquerque, New Mexico with her husband, toddler, and baby.
Her certifications are: B.S. Nutrition, M.S. Health Education, Anusara Inspired 2012, Certified Labor Doula 2014; E-RYT 500 (Experienced Registered Yoga Teacher), RPYT (Registered Prenatal Yoga Teacher), and Spinning Babies ® Parent Educator. She has accumulated over 200 hours of specialized Prenatal Yoga Instructor training and yoga for menstruation and fertility. Sarah is a Continuing Education Provider for the Yoga Alliance, which means that yoga teachers may receive continuing education credits by attending her classes, workshops, and private sessions.
