Mindfulness and studies confirming its benefits are everywhere these days. But making it a foundation for good living requires an understanding of the practice - its origins, purpose, and methods.

Sarah Jane support students in establishing a practice that is steady and ongoing, which can transform your way of being, and serve as a foundation for doing good and necessary work in the world. 

Note: In addition to working 1:1 with people, in fall 2020 she will be making several new live and pre-recorded classes and courses available as part of an excellent online teaching collective. Stay tuned! 

Introduction to Mindfulness & Compassion Meditation

A 5-week, systematic introduction to mindfulness meditation and complementary compassion methods as a firm foundation for an ongoing practice and a good, engaged life.

While shorter than an MBSR course, many of the same fundamentals are introduced and explored in four 90-minute classes and a four-hour retreat, all online. These include:
How (and whether) to sit
Mindfulness of Breath
Attentional Stability
Walking Meditation
Mindfulness of the Body
Feeling the Tone of a Moment
The Power of the Pause
Mindfulness of Thoughts and Emotions
Stress and Resilience
Mindful Self-compassion
Spacious Awareness
Mindful Technology Use
Mindful Activism
​
​A portion of proceeds from these classes are donated to Families for Justice as Healing, an organization of formerly incarcerated women working to end the incarceration of women and girls. 

August session completed. Please indicate if you'd like notification when the course will run again in fall....

The Four Foundations of Mindfulness for Yoga Teachers

This systematic introduction to the Buddhist underpinnings of mindfulness is for yoga asana teachers who would like to bring mindfulness into their teaching appropriately, with confidence, and with understanding of its original lineage.

In addition to didactic teaching, guided meditation, and Q&A, each class will include a yoga/mindfulness practice to demonstrate techniques for layering body-based and mindfulness methods. The first session includes an overview of the intersections of yoga and Buddhism.
