Back-pain specialist, yoga teacher, mind-body health researcher.
Sara Hauber
|
If it has to do with physical or emotional well-being, you can bet that Sara Hauber has been trained in it, practiced it, and taught it with gusto to clients and workshop participants all over the place.
From her adopted "home" states of Illinois, California, and North Carolina, to southern Italy, to eastern and southern Germany, she has spread her intimate knowledge about how the body works--and how the mind and emotions can control the body's working--to help people heal. Since 2021, Hauber has been pursuing her doctorate in Allied Health, further exploring the connection between mind and body, and people's resistance to the notion of mind-body nonduality. |
