Sarah Shropshire

Barre Teacher

Sarah has been teaching barre with the Where I Thrive team since they opened their first studio in 2015.  With years of experience in both competitive and recreational sports and dance, she quickly fell in love with Dailey Method barre as her body became leaner and stronger and her posture and alignment improved, helping to rehabilitate many of the injuries she earned from competitive, high impact activities. As a teacher, her goal is to help her students find alignment, strength, and comfort in their own bodies. She prides herself on challenging classes with a supportive, high-energy atmosphere where students and teacher alike continue to learn and deepen their practice. Sarah’s passion for teaching and health promotion also extends outside WIT. As an academic, her work has focused on body politics and promotion of health behaviours and Sarah feels privileged to hold down a day job in public health, working to advance healthy living behaviours and increase health equity.  WIT, with its strong community and inclusive EveryBODY philosophy, provides the perfect place to bring those passions together.
