The Magic of the Body: Insights from Yoga Therapist Sarah Jane Chapman
In this episode, I interview my yoga therapist and astrology mentor, Sarah Jane Chapman, about the profound connection between the body, mind, and spirit. Sarah Jane is not only a yoga therapist but also a tarot reader and astrologer, and she shares her wisdom on these ancient practices through her brand, Be With Your Body. We delve into the importance of self-acceptance, the healing power of rituals, and how various practices like yoga, tarot, and astrology intersect to help us return to our true selves. Sarah Jane also discusses her journey, personal experiences, and upcoming projects, including a retreat and a kids' yoga training.
