Welcome to my website. I am Sara-Jayne Edwards.

I specialise in creativity, and yoga as a tool for anxiety recovery, and in pregnancy and the postnatal period.

My workshops are about helping you find your magic, both for marketing and purely for joy.

My yoga classes are rooted in aiding emotional regulation by releasing stress and tension held in the body.

This is underpinned by the concept of neuroplasticity and the art of changing your mind. By repeating actions that allow us to feel safe and present, we can create long term change to how we feel and, therefore, how we think.

I weave creativity and mischievous fun through everything that I share.

I did lots of things, over the years, in an attempt to feel less anxious. One of them was drinking too much. Another was continually running away.

Since putting down these behaviours, and getting some licensed help, I have used what I teach to help me to stay sober, stay present, and stay sane.

Creating, writing, yoga and breathwork add a necessary discipline to my life and, over time, that’s created a massive shift in how I think and feel.

My yoga classes are for people who recognise that they do not always like the way their negative emotions cause them to behave, think about themselves and react to others.

Breath, movement and stretching in interesting ways… that’s my speciality.

Everything that I share works to counter what happens to the body and mind in a stress response:

– To release tension and tightness in the major muscles.
– To counter excess stress hormones.
– To reduce negative, anxious thoughts.
– To work with awareness of the vagus nerve and of the fascia to support a relaxed body and mind.

To do these things often is the key. If you come to my classes, you can expect to hear me talk about the importance of a daily practice. Just five minutes per day can make an enormous difference to your life.

The discipline I hope to foster in others goes arm in arm with the encouragement that you have creative outlets for negative emotion and stagnant, or chaotic, ideas.

My undergraduate degree was in English Literature and Creative Writing.

It is important to me that this is woven into what I share. With an anxious mind, the stories that we tell ourselves, about ourselves, can be deeply engrained in our psyche. We’re all storytellers. Only you know your own, but many of us are chained to a story of a past that we loathe and a future that we need to control. The power of presence makes every moment a blank page.

What I teach truly does help when feeling anxious or stressed.

Classes will also soothe you in periods of overwhelm. They will help after a long day, a sleepless night, with low mood, with an inability to rest and with the impulse to constantly, endlessly, check your phone. They inspire the order required for creativity to become productive, and create space in your mind for new ideas.

I share the very best practises from the large assortment of tools I have at my disposal that help me to stay in a place where my mind is a bearable place to hang out.

I aim to teach in a way that is honest, inclusive, dogma-free, and fun.

I am not a healer, a miracle worker or a guru. I am an imperfect human who has managed to put down some bad habits and learnt to better regulate my emotions. I want to share on the tools that have best helped me along the way.

About me…

I am Sara, or Sara-Jayne… the name on my birth certificate. I never really liked or used it much but it began to resonate with me on my yoga teacher training.

In my younger years, Sara-Jayne was heard only when I was yelled at for being naughty. Being, at least a little bit, naughty is part of my nature. For this reason, the reclaiming of my -Jayne feels good.

I have a brain that is fast and creative. It has caused me all kinds of stress over my life. We get on alright now. I am passionate about what I do. I do all I can to make my classes kind, fun, a bit different, and planned and delivered with as much love and creativity as I can possibly muster.

I love non-human animals and find human animals endlessly fascinating. You can read more about me and my life by clicking this button:
