Sarah Jane shares Buddhist, yogic, and psycho-spiritual methods to meet the stress of modern times and engender inner freedom at any stage of life. Her teaching is trauma-informed, inspired by nature, and motivated by the idea that the more at home we are in ourselves, the more skillfully we engage in the wider world.
Sarah Jane has degrees in religion and communications, and over the years has completed several certifications and trainings in mind-body practices and therapies. She is endorsed to teach Insight Yoga (mindfulness, compassion, and psycho-spiritual methods interwoven with yoga) by its co-founder, Sarah Powers. Additionally she is certified to facilitate mindfulness meditation through a 2-year teacher training with Jack Kornfield and Tara Brach via the Greater Good Science Center of UC-Berkeley.
Sarah Jane engages in ongoing learning and practice in Early, Theravaden, and Vajrayana Buddhism, and is trained in Somatic Experiencing, a body-based method for processing trauma. She is interested in how Buddhist practice supports uncovering unconscious bias, and how body intelligence can heal traumas that result from living in a deeply unjust society.
From 2019-2021 Sarah Jane co-hosted Skillful Means Podcast with Jennifer O'Sullivan. Its first 50 episodes feature discussions and practices to enrich and expand yoga practice and teaching. She offers continuing education to yoga teachers in the areas of meditation and self-inquiry, teaches corporate workers through the well-being tech company Studio BE, and trains incarcerated women as part of Prison Yoga Project.
Prior to the pandemic, Sarah Jane taught in the Massachusetts state prison for women at Framingham. The students and their community live with chronic stress in a prison that has been proven toxic to their health. Please join Sarah Jane in supporting organizations working on clemency and decarceration of women and girls, including the National Council for Incarcerated and Formerly Incarcerated Women and Girls and Families for Justice as Healing.
Sarah Jane is a member of the International Mindfulness Teachers Association, and a Yoga Alliance Experienced Registered Yoga Teacher (E-RYT 500) and Continuing Education Provider (YACEP).
