Hi all!!
I’m Sara, 36 years old from Minneapolis, MN and just newly into endurance activities. My mindset has always been about intensity and bursts of power but this is slowly starting to change as I want to explore more of what my body is capable of. I have been a pole dance instructor for about 10 years and have started incorporating Tai Chi Chih, Qi Gong, and Pilates over the last few years (too hypermobile for too much yoga). By day, I’m a mental health therapist in a high school setting with adolescents, so staying active is a big part of what keeps me healthy inside and out.
I’m training for Rainier this July, which will be my first attempt and second ever mountaineering experience. I have an old injury flare going on with my knee so my climb may be delayed if I need surgery but I’m motivated to put in the work from the ground up all while listening to my body’s needs! I feel really grateful to be connected to others in this space and learn as much as I can!
