This month, Sarah Durney threw open the doors of her new studio, Ashtanga Boise, the first local yoga venue with a daily Mysore practice. Competitive skier, rock climber, environmental studies student, firefighter, tango dancer, metal worker, special education teacher … Durney lives a life as multi-dimensional and fascinating as the postures she teaches in her classes. Although her life has unfolded in many directions, she’s remained consistently devoted to yoga since her teens. Yoga, which originally entered her life as a way to heal sports injuries, eventually inspired a spiritual journey that motivated multiple trips to India, where she studies at the Ashtanga Yoga Research Institute with the innovator of the practice, S.K.
