Sarah Jane has a bachelor's degree in religion and a master's in journalism, and has completed several certifications and trainings in mind-body practices and therapies. She is endorsed to teach Insight Yoga by its founder, Sarah Powers, and certified to teach meditation through a 2-year teacher training with Jack Kornfield and Tara Brach.
Sarah Jane engages in ongoing learning and practice in Early Buddhism, and trains in Somatic Experiencing, a 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. In its first 50 episodes they published 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).
