“Now I value my body even more than I ever have in my whole life.” -Sarah Thomas ()⁠
⁠
ON THE MAT⁠
‘Listening to the Body & Living with MS’⁠
Exclusive Interview w/Sarah Thomas⁠
Conducted by Allié McGuire⁠
Featured in ‘Innerviews’⁠
Published in ‘The Courage Edition’⁠ of AwareNow Magazine⁠
⁠
This conversation takes place not across a table, but on two yoga mats, where listening matters more than performance. Sarah Thomas (MS warrior, yoga teacher, author & wellness coach) joins me in a shared, embodied space to talk about yoga, multiple sclerosis, and what it means to stay connected to your body when it does not always behave as expected. What unfolds is not a lesson in poses, but a quiet reminder that wellness begins with compassion, presence, and permission to adapt.⁠

Sure, MS makes it harder, but not always impossible. I’m going for distance; I’m not going for speed… Cheers to going as far as can because you can. Be it a block, a mile, or a marathon, it’s your journey. Pick the pace that’s right for you. Why? Because you can. 🙏🏽

Light & love,

Today was prep but tomorrow.
Got my number. Got settled in.
Just now got into bed to get sleep for what tomorrow holds. Tomorrow I participate in the weekend with my 8K run.

Fast or slow, my pace will be mine. I’ll ask my body what it can do and respect its response. With grace and gratitude, I’ll finish and call it a win, regardless of my place or time.
Why? Because I can. 🙏🏽

Go the distance with me.
Run, stroll, bike or roll on your own.
