As a child, I loved watching my parents dance at parties, and sometimes swirling with my father around the dining room table. Even to this day, 70 years later, moving my body is the elixir that cures all ills, filling me with joy and excitement!
It was logical to major in dance therapy in college to help others feel good inside. While performing as a modern dancer and choreographer in Europe and the U.S., I also focused on methods that help others move and feel better.
Now, after 50 years as a rehab specialist, trainer, and educator, I have witnessed firsthand the truth of suffering--physical, emotional, and spiritual. As a therapist, I feel called to reduce the pain and anxiety that exists in the world today using my knowledge and skills in strength training, increasing/decreasing heart rate, developmental movement patterning, Neurotraining for balance and coordination, tracking blood sugar to reduce inflammation and dementia, and creating safety with hands-on treatment I call Intelligent Massage®.
Let's be full of energy, excited about life, and physically capable as we age! Eat well, Love deeply, Help others!

Sun-Thurs June 21-25, 5:00 - 6:30PM ET $47
A gentle, science-based approach to retrain your body--
so you can move with confidence, stability, and ease again.
This is for you if…
•You feel stiff, weak, or less steady than you used to
•You worry about losing balance or falling
•You have pain that doesn’t fully respond to exercise or therapy
•You want to feel stronger—but without strain or force
•You know your body can feel better than this
What you’ll experience--
In this 5-day program, you’ll learn how to:
Retrain your body for better balance and stability
Release long-held tension without force
Improve strength through coordination—not effort
Feel more at ease in your body
•You feel stiff, weak, or less steady than you used to
•You worry about losing balance or falling
•You have pain that doesn’t fully respond to exercise or therapy
•You want to feel stronger—but without strain or force
•You know your body can feel better than this
What you’ll experience--
In this 5-day program, you’ll learn how to:
Retrain your body for better balance and stability
Release long-held tension without force
Improve strength through coordination—not effort
Feel more at ease in your body
You can build muscle and bone
Stimulate your heart rate and metabolism
Learn to reduce cortisol, insulin, and anxiety
Follow intermittent fasting
Sleep better, swallow better, reduce snoring
Breathe with pelvic, thoracic and vocal diaphragms
Most people are told their symptoms are just part of aging.
But often, the real issue is this:
Your body is still running outdated movement patterns
that were never updated.
These patterns can affect your:
balance, posture
strength, and pain levels
The good news is: they can change.
What makes this different--This is not traditional exercise.
This is neuromuscular re-education.
You’ll be working with:
your nervous system
your movement patterns
your body’s natural intelligence
So change happens from the inside out.
Sara's TMJ exercises and swallowing lessons
are based on Myofunctional Therapy
with Dr. Keith Marshall on oral health

eat the right foods, enjoy building muscle, have fun doing cardio, sleep better, and connect to others.
Let's share our goals and favorite recipes!
What Others Say!
"Sara Vogeler's 5-day seminar has been life-changing for me. Adopting the practice of monitoring my glucose levels is proving to be a game-changer. I am now thoroughly convinced that with the low-carb diet she recommended, coupled with regular exercise, I can triumph over my health challenges. I am wholeheartedly committed to attending the 6:00 AM (Pacific) dance exercise classes as often as possible.
Sara's method of teaching is not only logical but also incredibly easy to comprehend. A personal favorite takeaway for me has been the advice to avoid sweet potatoes, which I'm not fond of. It's refreshing to have a valid reason to bypass them, especially since they're often recommended in diet plans."
Evie Sullivan, NLP Master Results Coach
Order your Continuous Glucose Monitor called the Keto-Mojo
to monitor your test Blood Sugar (as soon as possible).
Sara tested the new Continuous Glucose Monitor called the Stelo, available online without prescription. The Stelo readings occur every 15 minutes (inconvenient). The FreeStyle Libre 3, the FreeStyle Libre 3 Plus, and the Keto Mojo give real time readings. The Keto Mojo may be the most accurate as it directly measures sugar in the blood, not in the interstitial fluid as the other GCMs do. One drawback--the FSL3 Plus needs a prescription.

"I would like to say that Sara’s movement classes are fantastic!!!
Great rhythm, clear instructions! One can experience her vast somatic background put to music like it’s party time. She is very welcoming which makes it personal and cozy to be online, even in her glamorous environment. Cardio in the most fun way. Simply fantastic sophisticated work out! I highly recommend!”
--Lilia Angello, BMC
I first met Sara through her leadership of a supplementary study group of online Body-Mind Centering® courses taught by Bonnie Bainbridge Cohen. Being a long-time practitioner and certified teacher of Body-Mind Centering®, Sara is masterful in her approach as a teacher and group facilitator. She listens intently while drawing each one of us within the group to engage in ever-deepening ways with the material of experiential anatomy. Sara's knowledge comes from a vast experience as a dancer, teacher, and somatic movement therapist. Her knowledge is embodied, full of wisdom and play!
Recently I've been taking a high-intensity fitness class with Sara online. It has been incredible to have the structure and the challenge of these amazing classes. We are encouraged to modify if what is presented is too challenging physically. I feel more alert and able to negotiate challenges with my physical and mental health which have been a huge problem for quite some time!
In this process of learning, I've lost 20 pounds, and feel more excited about challenging fears, and taking action to move forward in life!
Coming from a professional dance background, I find these classes exhilarating, fun, and challenging! Join us!
--Andrew Olewine
"Sara--you are a gift from God! I can't thank you enough--my spirit feels so uplifted! I feel so energized, so renewed! Thank you for allowing me to join this morning! It has been what I've been looking for during this whole pandemic. You've filled my heart and body with renewed energy and optimism. Thank you, and thank you to God for the glory of this gift!!"
--Amy B.

"The review in your words and your ease of presenting the material Bonnie shows us is really helpful. Hard to describe, but something about your way is immediately communicative, effortlessly transcends the intellectual pieces that we're trying to fit together but instead still swimming around each other. Thanks for everything ..."
Sue in Sara's online BMC Study Group
"Hi Sara, Just wanted to say thank you so much for guiding the study group these past 8 weeks. Having you share your insight & guide us through somatic practices which support and deepen Bonnie's work has been so helpful!"
Alexandra South, E-RYT, in Sara's online BMC Study Group
I thought you highlighted the things Bonnie focused on in class and did a great job leading the study group. I liked how you started with movement-- the starfish focusing on radiating from the navel into the limbs, contrasting with the pattern of overlapping triangles centered around the pancreas connecting head to feet, and tail to hands.
We explored width and the periphery via the solar plexus, contrasting with navel radiation and weight shift through the adrenals. Demonstrating the different initiations for thigh movement from the femur, from the pubic rami, and from the embryological "dragon tail" was very helpful.
I liked how you were observing the students to assist them in initiating from those three pelvic areas. Guiding them and giving feedback helped my observation skills--especially when you pointed out the initiation was not clear in someone. That helped me to be clear in myself. You also added a lot of extra info about research that was interesting, including your own slideshow entitled "Journey through the Pancreas."
Thank you for welcoming me in. It was great being with you!
-Frances Kimmel, ISMETA Somatic Movement Educator & Therapist

Breast Thermograms offer non-invasive, non-toxic, computer-generated thermal readings of heat developing in your tissues.

Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy for TMJ involves manual pressure to relieve jaw pain, exercises to promote swallowing so the tongue touches the roof of the mouth properly, jaw placement to reduce sleep apnea and open the airways for better breathing.
