Sarah Spinelli, owner of Breathe Yoga & Wellness

About the Owner:

Sarah Spinelli began practicing yoga while living in Colorado in 2013 and decided to explore a teacher training after seeing the impact a consistent yoga practice, or sadhana, had in her life. During that 12 year period, Sarah moved to Oregon, Naples, Florida, and now, after moving to Morganton, North Carolina in 2023, Sarah joined Breathe Yoga & Wellness as an instructor.

Since then, she has had the great opportunity to teach many classes in the studio, and then enter into an agreement with the prior owner, Lizzie, for Sarah to take over the studio in August of 2025. Her heart and soul is in facilitating restorative and yin classes, but she also enjoys a good sweat in Breathe Energy or even Breathe Fire!

Taking on ownership of the studio has been a huge initiative of the heart for Sarah. She has seen firsthand the power of community in western North Carolina, especially after Hurricane Helene ravaged the region. The studio was a space for care and support as the broader communities rebuilt after the storm.

As the studio moves into its next era with Sarah leading the studio, she is excited about what the future holds.
