Sarah Jane Chapman

Sarah Jane Chapman is a yoga therapist, tarot reader, astrologer and creator based in East Nashville, Tennessee. Everything she offers is centered on helping people find peace with their bodies, just as they are. She describes her aim simply: to help you and your body be buds.

Her path began in early eating disorder recovery, when she was learning meditation and tarot after years of battling and trying to control her body. Those tools, together with years of yoga practice, helped her slowly begin to trust herself again. Years later she started studying astrology and found it another useful tool for insight and self-acceptance. Her own experience of eating disorder recovery, of living as a type 1 diabetic and of being a mom shapes how she teaches, and she shares that lived experience of learning to love one's body.

Sarah Jane is a certified yoga therapist (C-IAYT) who teaches through the lineage of Viniyoga, or therapeutic yoga. Her classes are meant to help you return to yourself one moment at a time, and she describes them as simple, kind and intuitive, like a big hug. Her in-person offerings in Nashville include vinyasa classes often linked to the current astrology and the seasons, prenatal and postnatal yoga, and yoga for kids aged 2 to 10, which uses games and play to explore postures and philosophy.

She is also a co-creator of Be With Your Body Tarot, a deck designed to help people find ritual and peace within their bodies. Beyond group classes, she works with individuals and small groups, and she is available for podcasts, on yoga therapy, tarot reading, astrology and embodiment.
