Sarah Jane Shangraw is a Boston-based mindfulness, compassion, and Insight Yoga teacher, with more than a decade of experience encouraging presence, peace, and purpose among her students and clients.
Sarah Jane's interest in Buddhism, yoga, and psychology is long-standing, and in her teaching she weaves together their methods in an informed and inspired way. She considers herself a student of the buddhadharma and feels passionate about using practice as support for meeting life's ongoing changes and transitions, including those related to relationships, parenting, loss, and end of life.
In 2018, after years of studying and retreating, Sarah Jane earned a rare endorsement to teach Insight Yoga from its founder, Sarah Powers. She has numerous certifications and is currently immersed in a 2-year teacher training with Jack Kornfield and Tara Brach.
Sarah Jane works to uncover her unconscious bias in an effort to avoid causing harm and keep her teaching responsive. In addition to her classes and courses, she teaches corporate workers through the wellness tech company Studio BE, and incarcerated women as part of the Prison Yoga Project.
Prior to the pandemic, Sarah Jane taught in the Massachusetts state prison for women, including a leadership training to support the women's agency on their path. During the pandemic, these women, some of whom have served decades-long sentences and all of whom have transformed their being, are in serious danger of falling sick with Covid-19, if they have not already. Already dealing with chronic stress and the effects of living in a prison that has been proven toxic and dangerous to their health, the women must be released. Please join Sarah Jane in supporting organizations working on decarceration right now, including the National Council for Incarcerated and Formerly Incarcerated Women and Girls, and in the Boston area, Families for Justice as Healing.
