At the Body + Love Workshop you will learn how valuable self-love is in creating your greater life. You will learn tools to help you create a life that fuels YOU. You will be in a SAFE and loving environment, and hear from women who are getting down and dirty in their life, sharing the lessons they’ve learned in order to help you grow.

Imagine a place where people showed up for themselves and, each other, without judgment and bound by the common thread that we’re all worthy of living our most badass lives from the inside out! A place where you’re at home before you even arrive. A big’ol lunch table in the cafeteria of life where everyone is welcome under a few simple conditions - everyone shows up, everyone gets a seat at the table, and we all rise together. 

This is the Body + Love Workshop.

What's It All About? 

Body + Love Workshop is a weekend-long gathering for individuals coming together to create a happier and healthier life from the inside out, fueled by self-love driven changes. This is a size-inclusive experience for persons of every age, shape, and color; a place to connect, dig deep, and learn tools to rise into your  empowered life. Leave with a renewed confidence, a sense of community, and an understanding of the role honoring body and soul play in creating your best life. Body and love.

• If you have ever wanted to create change in your life but felt scared or stuck…

• If you have ever had to buy a pen or a tote bag because the event tee didn’t come in your size…

• If you want to RISE THE F*CK UP in your life and do so with the support of like-minded peeps…. I’VE GOT YOU COVERED!

What You Can Expect.

Community. Soul-work. Thought-provoking panels. Karaoke jam sessions. Questions probing you to examine your fears and passions. Dance breaks.  Laughter. Meditation. Lots of hugs… and a safe space for you to show up EXACTLY how you are without judgment.

You can expect…

• Kundalini yoga and meditation

• Discussions about fear, faith, and the power of making changes fueled by self-love. (Speakers will be announced shortly!) 

• Workshops about shifting your “movement mindset” from being a punishment for your body  to a celebration, and understanding how your “core pain” impacts personal relationships.

• And more to be announced!

What the workshop is...

• A place to explore what your “greater life” means to you personally.

• A chance to think about what your “happier and healthier” life looks like, relevant to your own body journey.

What the workshop ISN'T!

• An event pushing “diet culture” as a means of change.

• A place you will be “skinny shamed” or “fat shamed” for  your body-goals and desires.

• A special “insiders club” of elite women who dress, look, and think the same.

• A “sink or swim”  shark tank of “mean girls.”

• Full of sales pitches.

Where is the Body + Love Workshop located? The workshop will be located at a venue in Las Vegas, Nevada. The address is 3905 W Diablo Dr, Las Vegas, NV 89118. This is located off "The Strip." We advise you plan to take a rideshare (like Lyft or Uber) to the event space, or to drive. 

When is the event? The workshop is Saturday and Sunday, September 29 and 30, 2018. There is an optional mixer on Friday, September 28.

What time is the event? If you opt-in for the Friday mixer, we begin at 7 pm and go till 9 pm. On Saturday, doors open at 8 am and we wrap by 6 pm. On Sunday, those doing the optional sadhana should be prepared to be at the event space at 7 am. The general doors will open at 8 am. On Sunday, the event will wrap in the 4 pm hour. Those wishing to fly from Las Vegas that evening are encouraged to catch a flight no earlier than 7:30 pm. 

What about food? Your Main Event ticket includes lunch and snacks for both Saturday and Sunday. A vegan option will be available. 

Is the event handicapped accessible? Yes!

What hotels do you suggest?  Las Vegas has tons of options for every budget. The event does not have a formal "host" hotel, but we can suggest the following hotels that are in accessible proximity to the event:

• Mandalay Bay Hotel and Casino

• Luxor Hotel and Casino

• NYNY Hotel and Casino

A great place to start is on Hotels.com enter the event address as a starting place.

I experience social anxiety, will I be ok? We take every effort to assure you are comfortable. We will have a "low sensory" space and a counselor on-site for any who need it. 

What do you mean when you say the workshop is a"size-inclusive" space? It means that we take every effort to make sure that persons of every size feel safe and comfortable. For example, the chairs we use are armless and sturdy, and we will offer both sofa and floor seating options as well. 

You’ll never feel pressure to do something that makes you physically uncomfortable, especially in Kundalini class. Join in. Be part of the group. Breathe. That is all we ask for!

Are men welcome at the Body Love Workshop? The workshop is open to persons of every sexual identity. We do anticipate the audience will be largely female identifying. All attendees must adhere to a code of conduct regardless of sexual orientation. 

What if I can only stay for part of the event? The BLW is best experienced in it's entirety, from start to finish. If you have to sneak out early, we totally get it. We'll still totally miss you, though. 

I don't want to go on a diet... I see that Sarah has lost weight - is she selling me a diet plan? No! Sarah has lost weight because she needed to do so for her health and mobility. This event does not push "diet culture" as a means to creating happiness. Instead, it will encourage you to find out what a greater life means to you? The workshop shares the tools that Sarah has used to create her greater life, focussing on changes fueled by self-love. 

WTF is Kundalini? I Googled it and that sh*t looks weird! Kundalini yoga is awesome! LOL. No, really. Kundalini yoga, known as the "Mother yoga" is a form of yoga that combines meditation, breathing, and movement. It is VERY body-friendly! We like this quick definition from Yoga Journal. Kundalini is "An uplifting blend of spiritual and physical practices, Kundalini Yoga incorporates movement, dynamic breathing techniques, meditation, and the chanting of mantras, such as Sat Nam, meaning "truth is my identity." The goal is to build physical vitality and increase consciousness."

May I get a refund on my ticket? Unfortunately, tickets are final-sale only.  

Can I transfer my ticket to another person? Yes. Please email Sarah@Saporacreative.com for help.

Deliciously made with real ingredients, Primal Kitchen offers paleo friendly, and a selection of Whole 30-compliant dressings, mayo, and foods. I love you guys!

Everyone attending the Body + Love Workshop gets a free pair of Bandelettes!! Thank you guys. 

So many people focus on the outside of our body... but what really matters? What's going on inside. I am so lucky to have Well Being Trust on board as a partner for the Body + Love Workshop! Well Being Trust is a national foundation dedicated to advancing the mental, social, and spiritual health of the nation. They support my work and are ready to SHOW UP for you! Not only that, but they will be on-site at the workshop ready to offer support services for anyone who needs them. Working to keep you safe? Yes. Thank you. You guys are the best!

This is my second year joining forces with the amazing people at Fifty/Fifty bottles! They make double-wall vacuum-insulated bottles for hot and cold drinks that are sure to be a staple for you throughout the year. Seriously, we know people still using their bottles from last year every day! In sizes small enough for coffee, or perfect for wine (Yes!) there is a Fifty / Fifty bottle for every occasion.

I have been obsessed with Erin Condren planners for years. Like, YEARS! I bought my first personalized clipboard and Life Planner from them in 2012 and have been in love ever since. There’s something about the colors, the design, the reason it gives me to be organized in my daily life…. Yess! I am wickedly thrilled to have Erin Condren as a sponsor for the event. Journaling is a VERY valuable part of the self-love journey, and I am excited to have their journals be a home for your thoughts.
