Sage Rountree, PhD, E-RYT 500, has spent 20+ years helping yoga teachers teach with more confidence and less overthinking. She's the author of 13 books (100,000+ copies sold), including The Art of Yoga Sequencing and The Professional Yoga Teacher's Handbook, and the creator of the S.E.R.V.E. Method and 6-4-2 Framework—practical systems that take the guesswork out of class planning for any style and every student.

Sage hosts the Yoga Teacher Confidential podcast and leads Comfort Zone Yoga, an online home for yoga teachers who hold themselves to high professional standards. Through courses, mentorship, a 150+ sequence Movement Library, and a free community of 2,100+ yoga teachers, she helps instructors stop reinventing the wheel every week and start really seeing their students.

Her background includes coaching UNC athletic teams and pioneering yoga for athletes, and she brings that same evidence-based, pedagogy-first approach to everything she teaches.
