Speaker

Sara Black

Certified Yoga and Meditation Teacher at Live Awake PH

Sara Black is a certified Yoga and Meditation teacher having completed her studies in Rishikesh, Himalayas, India. A series of health issues have led her down the path of Wellness. In 2013, through a routine check-up, doctors found a spinicular mass growing in her left breast. Thankfully it turned out to benign, but the traumatic experience with surgery was enough to catalyze her into taking charge of her health.

In 2016, she fractured her hip in multiple places as a result of a bike accident while training for an Iron Man. Complete immobility led her to deepen her meditation practice, which she credits her quick recovery. In just 4 months she was able to walk again, run, and complete a short distance triathlon. Transcending the limits of the mind and integrating that with the energy of the heart have been the cornerstones of her holistic approach to Wellness.

The driving force behind the Live Awake Philippines Wellness community, she has also co-founded sister group Live Awake Retreats, which facilitates group experiences to reconnect people deeply to themselves and find their purpose. She has also taught meditation in corporate settings such as Asian Development Bank, Facebook, Unilever, AXA, Ogilvy, Sun Life and Manulife.
