Hi, I’m Sage Rountree, PhD, E-RYT500, former endurance sports coach, and 13x author.
I also spent six years as a public radio announcer, so I’m comfortable with a microphone! I host the Yoga Teacher Confidential podcast.
speaking
I love to speak on topics including:
- yoga for balance—for athletes, healthy aging, and everyone
- the importance of athletic recovery: why rest is the key for peak performance
- how to design a career—or more realistically, a side hustle—as a yoga teacher
- writing and reading
- owning and running a yoga studio and a spa
