IRIS BAHN-LOGAN
Iris Bahn-Logan grew up in Boulder, Colorado, where her early exposure to yoga came through her mother and the strong wellness culture of the community. From a young age, yoga was less about performance and more about presence, planting the seeds for a lifelong relationship with the practice.
Drawn to exploring yoga at its source, Iris completed her teacher training at Mimamsa Yogshala in Rishikesh, India. During her high school years, she worked in a singing bowl shop, where she developed a deep appreciation for the healing resonance of sound and vibration—an influence that continues to shape her teaching today.
Iris’s classes are guided by pranayama and an invitation to slow down and turn inward. Through mindful movement, breath, and sound, students are encouraged to attune to subtle energy, cultivate awareness, and experience a sense of unification between the inner and outer worlds. Her teaching creates space for reflection, integration, and embodied presence.
SARAH HEMPHILL
Sarah discovered yoga in 1995 at Integral Yoga in New York City and fell in love immediately—the chanting, the breath, and the sense of calm it offered amid a high-stress career in book publishing. To her surprise, yoga also helped relieve her chronic lower-back pain, and she was hooked.
In 2003, Sarah moved to Los Angeles and completed her first teacher training at The Center for Yoga in Larchmont Village with Diana Beardsley, where she apprenticed and studied Anusara yoga. She has been teaching ever since.
Her teaching is rooted in alignment, but today Sarah is most drawn to yoga as a mindfulness-based practice. Rather than striving to get somewhere, the practice supports meeting yourself exactly where you are—physically, mentally, and emotionally. Classes emphasize breath, deep listening, and cultivating awareness through a balance of effort and ease. Movement and stillness are explored with sensitivity, allowing space to go deeper, pause, or recalibrate as needed. Classes may include a theme, pranayama, and mudras.
With over 5,000 hours of teaching experience and more than 700 hours of continuing education, Sarah continues to study and train so she can share this practice in meaningful and accessible ways.
I'm honored to be a part of Still Yoga, where some of my most admired teachers have led classes over the years.
