This studio was created from the hearts of sister in laws, Sabrina Bennett and Tobi Guillian.  A dream space designed to connect people from from all walks of life to follow their own path of wellness through the teachings of mindfulness and self love.  Raised in the lush, green San Bernardino Mountains of southern California, both girl's paths eventually lead them to the beautiful, serene desert of Yucca Valley, near Joshua Tree, Ca. where they both have lived for over 20 years, planted roots and raised their families. This is where the name Cedar & Sage was birthed. From mountains to desert. Each of the girl’s paths of wellness are very different and they have each dedicated themselves to their own calling yet have come together to share their gifts and the gifts of fellow teachers with you.

Sabrina has always held a deep to connection to health and wellness. Growing up in the mountains, loving nature and living life mindfully has been engrained in her since childhood. The love of fitness began in her early teen years and carried into adulthood with a consistent workout regimen and healthy way of nourishing the body though a clean, whole foods based diet. Once yoga was introduced into her life in 2008, it just made perfect sense that this ancient practice aligned with her lifestyle.  Sabrina fell in love with the practice of the challenging style of Ashtanga yoga and then after completing her teacher training in 2012, found the love of Hatha and Vinyasa Flow and blended them together to find a yoga practice that encourages strength, balance, grace and complete connection to the subtle body as well as connection to the mind. Opening a sacred space to offer wellness classes to the community in 2017 was a dream come true.  Her main focus is to stay true to the essence of yoga. To honor the sacred practice and philosophy and to weave that into her teachings. Incorporating the guidelines of the 8 limbed path both on and off the mat is a constant practice for her.  Making deeper bonds with her students and community, living this practice becomes the most important connection of all.  

Tobi’s passion lies within soundbowl healing and meditation. She experienced the vibrational sounds of a Tibetan sound bowl during a visit to a small Himalayan restaurant and within seconds could feel it’s ability to calm and heal the nervous system. She completed her 200 YTT in 2014 followed by a Reike certification that same year. Then in 2015 attended a sound therapy training in Sedona, AZ. She has recently completed a 200 Kundalini Certification with the Kundalini Research Insitute and Yoga Aliance in 2023. She now has over 30 crystal alchemy bowls along with metal Tibetan bowls to provide an unforgettable experience for anyone who attends.

Sabrina and Tobi created a very special class that combines hot yoga with sound bath. They introduced it to the desert over 12 years ago and it continues to be one of the highest attended classes at Cedar & Sage. From this unique class, a union was born between these two women. To uplift, encourage, laugh, support and build inner strength within each student is the essential goal each and every teacher here.  Above all, a sense of community and connection.

Sabrina & Tobi have also shared these classes at Bhaktifest in 2023 & 2024 in Joshua Tree
