Sarah Jane believes that making peace with our bodies is a direct way to create peace in the world. That might sound trite, but she has witnessed the active work her clients and (herself!) put into creating a kind and respectful relationship with their bodies and how that ripples into their communities.
Sarah Jane has been teaching yoga since 2010 when she did her first training in kids yoga at Karma Kids Yoga in NYC. In 2012, she traveled to Rishikesh, India to complete her 200 hour in Hatha yoga. She taught for many years around Nashville in yoga studios and treatment centers since 2013. In 2018, Sarah Jane began her Yoga Therapy training with Yoga Well Institute and decided to take a break from teaching yoga publicly. After graduating in 2021, she began working both in private practice and also at Neuro Therapy Nashville as a yoga therapist. She specializes in helping people connect totally heir bodies through recovery in eating disorders and neurological conditions.
In addition to her yoga therapy practice, Sarah Jane also does tarot and astrology readings. In 2022, she co-created a tarot deck with illustrator Sara Strese called Be With Your Body Tarot (available in the Hola lobby!). This therapeutic tarot deck is infused with yoga, astrology and herbal medicine theory to help folks connect to themselves just as they are.
Sarah Jane is a type 1 diabetic, so you might see medical devices on her body. They sometimes beep, so don’t be alarmed and know that she knows how to tend to her body’s fluctuating needs.
She is beyond thrilled to be a part of the Hola Yoga team. She has missed the community of studio practice and is so thrilled to be connected with students and fellow teachers, some she’s known for years. She hopes her classes help you to feel some peace with your body, just as you are.
