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 with a Buddhist perspective the truth of suffering--physical, emotional, and spiritual. As a therapist, I feel compelled to reduce the pain and anxiety that exists in the world today using the knowledge and skills that I have developed over the years in building fitness, metabolic health, and positive thinking.
I feel compelled to share what works to feel excellent, healthy and strong--full of energy, excited about what we do, and physically capable--meaning free to move. That’s different for everyone. For me, it means being able to dance, to jog a mile, to wake up feeling refreshed, to eat lots of organic greens and good protein, balance blood sugar, and to have people I love in my life. It's a blessing to be able to help others find this, too!

What Others Say!
"Sara Vogeler's course "A Revolutionary Approach to Pain Relief and Wellness" 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 as soon as possible called the Keto-Mojo
to monitor your test Blood Sugar.
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 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 Plus needs 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
