Sarah Nelsen

she/her - Portland, OR

LYB Mindset Facilitator

About me: I'm a yoga teacher and yoga therapist and my classes are slow and gentle with an emphasis on grounding and relaxation. Yoga has helped me cope with anxiety as well as increased my ability to flow with the transitions and challenges of life. 

Why LYB: Growing up, my dad had two brain tumor surgeries and me and my family were not prepared for the changes he/we would experience as a result. I love being a part of the LYB community, online and in person, to offer others a place to process and find community as they navigate the challenges of brain injury to themselves or loved ones. 

Superhero: My mum is my superhero. She has been strong and resilient in the face of so many challenges and she continues to be my number one cheerleader. 

Resources: In addition to teaching online for LoveYourBrain and elkrockyoga.com, I am a yoga therapist and I work one-on-one online with individuals seeking more joy and less suffering in life. I'm also in training to become a Spiritual Director. Find out more about me at sarahnelsenyoga.com
