Meet Sarah Pyrda


Equestrian. Bodyworker. Wellness Practitioner. Human enthusiast .


I’ve spent my entire life around horses—from barn rat to FEI-level groom to certified wellness and bodywork practitioner.

But somewhere between the horse shows, late-night leg icing, and long stretches on the road, I realized something most equestrians eventually face:

We give everything to our horses… and leave almost nothing for ourselves.

Now I help change that.



What I Do


I’m a certified equine bodyworker and wellness consultant offering:

  • Bodywork for horses (myofascial release, massage, reiki, craniosacral therapy,  laser therapy)
  • Wellness consulting for equestrian athletes (yoga, resistance stretching, breathwork + lifestyle guidance)

Every session—horse or human—is completely tailored.
There’s no one-size-fits-all here. I blend multiple modalities to address the root cause, not just the symptoms. And I always lead with respect, intuition, and real-life experience.


My Background


Before launching Live Lightly, I spent 9+ years as a professional groom at the FEI level in show jumping—caring for elite performance horses, managing the daily physical (and emotional) demands of the sport, and learning the unspoken language of horses firsthand.


My training includes:

  • Certified equine massage therapist
  • Myofascial release 
  • Multiple yoga and movement certifications
  • Study of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Ayurveda
  • Advanced training in fascia-focused work and nervous system regulation

But beyond certifications, what sets me apart is simple:
I’ve lived this life. I’ve wrapped legs in the dark. I’ve coached riders through movement. I’ve been the calm presence that both horse and human can lean on.


Why “Live Lightly”?


Because healing doesn’t mean you have to push harder.
It means making space—physically, emotionally, energetically—for your body to do what it’s meant to do: function, feel, and flourish.

This work isn’t just about riding better (though you will).
It’s about living better.


Work With Me

I offer:

  • Equine bodywork (in-barn and at shows)
  • 1:1 virtual wellness consulting for equestrians


If you’re looking for a practitioner who respects your horse and your humanity, who leads with both skill and sensitivity—I’d love to connect.
