About Discover Your Depths
Discover Your Depths is an ever-evolving philosophy and ‘school of unlearning’. It began as a freediving school, but is and always was, more than a place to learn ‘just’ how to dive.
By teaching people who they really are, and how we all get in our own way, I help people to see beyond their fears and self-imposed limits. Not only did their freediving improve with more grace, ease and pleasure than ever before, they also experienced these qualities in all areas of their life too. Freediving as a methaphor.
More than anything I am passionate about how our minds work, and how they can both serve and sabotage us. My work over the years has encompassed yoga, meditation, pranayama, freediving and the lessons and awareness received through daily life. Most recently, I received the remarkable gift of living through an extended volcanic eruption which gave me insight to relate to my fears and beliefs in a radically new way. My work continues to evolve, as do I.
Discover Your Depths is all of this, and it is also, and especially, the insight, courage, vulnerability and wisdom that each of the people I work with brings to their process.
I work now primarily online because it gives me greater flexibility and allows me to reach more people. I truly don’t need to see you in the water to help you progress in your freediving. Because the challenges you face most likely have their roots in your own thinking, and I can help you with that wherever you are.
have always seen freediving as a metaphor for life and a powerful teacher in its own right. By using freediving as a metaphor, I help people experience the
The seeds of my studies and personal practice of yoga, meditation and pranayama grew and flourished as these teachings came alive as absolute truths that I experienced in the ocean. There I received insights and wisdom that not only enabled me to dive deeper, but made life finally make sense. Since then
I strive to live in unfolding awareness about life, and how my thoughts and beliefs create my own reality. And I teach and support everyone who feels called to work with me to bring the same level of awareness into their own lives.
Life is a great gift, but many of us spend much of it stuck in thought patterns that limit us, generating feelings of discomfort, dissatisfaction or unhappiness. Many of us repeatedly sabotage relationships, our own health, or projects we dream of fulfilling. And we often remain stuck in blaming life, or others, for these unhappy outcomes.
Through ‘unlearning’ I help to guide people to empower themselves once more in their own lives; we can’t change other people, or most circumstances, just as we can’t change the weather. It is a huge waste of energy trying. However, we can - each and every one of us - change our relationship to our own mind.
This is true empowerment, and leads to true liberation. It is available to us all - and I am honoured to be trusted to guide so many of you on this path.
DYD Philosophy
The philosophy of Discover Your Depths is exactly what it says it is! We each have unchartered territories within us, unexplored creativity and untapped potential. Discover Your Depths grew out of Sara's own personal journey through both painful and challenging times, the extraordinary highs of World Records and the life of a top athlete, and the deep stillness and often solitary practice of yoga and meditation. It is about learning through teaching and failing as much as, or more so than, through studying, and succeeding.
Coaching with us is completely personal, no two courses are the same, reflecting our uniqueness as individuals. We spend time getting to know each of you, your background and motivations, what makes you tick and what holds you back, in order to understand your approach to life and how we can help you, personally. We use yoga, meditation and freediving as tools to help each of you experience your authentic self – the self that is courageous, committed and curious and boldly explores this world, this life, in full understanding of how precious it is.
Discover Your Depths is not only about freediving. Discover Your Depths is a philosophy we have developed to help you uncover your own potential and lead a more fulfilling life. If you can breathe, you can get involved. Yoga and meditation are the cornerstones of what and how we teach. We work in the studio, in the desert, on sun loungers over mango juice. And if you love the ocean, you can have fun exploring your potential beneath the waves, but you don’t have to. And if you can’t come to Dahab, we can meet and explore together online, or even come to you.
Whatever your goal, we are passionate about helping you find your own happiness. Working out what needs to be present in your life to feel fulfilled, peaceful and excited about each new day.
