Yovana Yoga Lineage
Sarah DeFoor & Grace Stephen are the lead trainers of the Yovana Yoga Teacher Training Program. We could not be prouder of our Yoga Lineage. We both did our first 500 hours of training under Sue Hopkins. When she was still training teachers, people came in from all over the Southeast to train with her. If she were still training teachers, we would probably just send you to her. Grace & I both taught in Sue’s 200-hour program. I taught restorative and Grace taught anatomy. After we learned all we could from Sue we both went out and found other teachers to deepen our yoga knowledge.
When Grace was recovering from an automobile accident, she sought out an Adaptable Yoga Expert and found Matthew Sanford in Minnesota. Matthew has been in a wheelchair since he was young and is the best in his specialty. After Grace spent weeks at his studio in MN, she convinced him to come to GA and teach other yoga teachers in GA. Anyone in Georgia that has trained with him probably has Grace to thank.
From my (Sarah) first restorative yoga class I was hooked! The more I learned about restorative the more I realized I needed to learn more. So, I trained with the Queen of restorative, Judith Hansen Lasater. Judith has been teaching for 50 years this year and has written over 10 books. Between Restorative and other courses, I have trained over 100 hours with her. She has certified me as a Relax & Renew Restorative Trainer. This year I have been training with Dr. Loren Fishman who is a medical doctor and has been teaching yoga since the 70’s. Dr. Fishman has done clinical studies on healing different conditions with yoga for decades and is still at it in his 80's. I am certified by him in Yoga for Osteoporosis, Scoliosis, and Back Care. I am personally humbled that I have studied with three people who directly studied with B.K.S. Iyengar, one of the foremost Yoga Gurus of all time.

"I am personally humbled that I have studied with three people who directly studied with B.K.S. Iyengar, one of the foremost Yoga Gurus of all time. Each one of these amazing teachers has made me a better teacher. That will allow me to train amazing teachers. Our goal is not to create the most teachers. It is to create the best teachers."
