Sarah Jayne Rothkopf

My name is Sarah Jayne Rothkopf, a passionate actor and yogi based out of New York City.

I was first introduced to yoga through my Mother, who brought me to a Hatha yoga class at the tender age of 14.  

I fully embodied my experience as a yogi by diving into a 200hr Teacher Training at The Kripalu School of Yoga and Health.  The curriculum included pranayama, yogic philosophy, rigorous asana, yin yoga and Ayurvedic nutrition.  It was mind blowing, to say the least, and opened my eyes to the way in which food can be used as medicine.  From Kripalu, I began teaching in Upstate, NY at a lovely resort called, The Emerson.  I honed my technique while being supported by a wonderful community.  From there, I moved to Los Angeles, California, and began teaching children's yoga at 'The Angel Station,' a nonprofit workspace for creative entrepreneurs.  My life has been devoted to yoga and the arts, specifically Acting, for 20 years and thus, they ran a parallel path.  I received my MA  in Physical Theatre from The Royal Academy of Dramatic Art, in London, and that has bled into my work as a yogi.  My inventiveness, curiosity, compassion and willingness to explore are all applicable to my teaching.  I am comfortable leading restorative and rigorous Hatha yoga classes, as well as teaching pilates.
