Sarah Spearin

Sarah started her yoga journey in 2013. She was going through a difficult time, believing her life was lacking authenticity and purpose. Yoga served as a catalyst, leading Sarah to obtain her 200-hour yoga teacher training (YTT) from Rishikesh Yog Peeth in Rishikesh, India in 2013. She taught while also continuing to work as an occupational therapist with adults to assist them in becoming independent in their daily living tasks. With over 13 years of experience as an OT, she has worked in acute care, inpatient rehab, skilled nursing and outpatient orthopedic. During that time, Sarah also worked in travel therapy which gave her the opportunity to work in Northern California, New Mexico, Hawaii, Northern Arizona and Alaska. On the outside, her life appeared to be adventurous, fun, and rewarding, but on the inside, unfortunately it felt like a round peg being forced into a square hole.

​

​Life continued to present various challenges and twists including a cancer diagnosis that required two complex neck surgeries. Unfortunately, she sustained permanent nerve trauma in her left shoulder due to a surgical mistake in 2015. Understanding the why’s and the depth of this experience was extremely challenging for Sarah. With the trauma being extensive physically and emotionally, working in healthcare and as a yoga teacher was challenging to say the least. After 3+ years of consistent hard work, she was able to significantly improve function in her shoulder, but it took several more years before she began to appreciate and have a different perspective for everything that she had been through. The sensations of regret, anger and sadness began to ebb away. Her journey “north” has been filled with many highs and challenges, but with it has come a different perspective and deeper appreciation for all the gifts and opportunities that have come her way. Each day she is learning to embody her true spirit and trust in its guidance. ​

A series of events led Sarah to obtain her certification in Yoga Nidra and in becoming a certified Sound Healing Practitioner. She experienced a download in which the words "yoga nidra and sound healing" popped into her mind after an emotional polarity/massage session. The words came and did not leave. With a huge leap of faith, she made huge changes on her path. Today she views those words as little messages from Source. In 2022, she completed a 100-hour Integrative Amrit Method (IAM) Yoga Nidra training at the Southwest Institute of Healing Arts (SWIHA) and the Level 1 Foundations of Integral Sound Healing (Multi-Instrument) through the Sound Healing Academy (SHA). In 2023, she continued her training with SHA by completing their Level 2 Practitioner Diploma in Integral Sound Healing Multi Instrument Course (1-2-1 Clients) and in March 2024 she completed their Group Work training. ​In 2022 in the midst of her training, Sarah opened Syncing Into Bliss as she had a vision for creating positive change in her community through sounds and meditation. At times, it felt as if she was blindfolded. She didn't understand the why's, but in her heart she knew she was on the right path. Scary and overwhelming yes but aligned. Trust and I Believe in Myself is how Sarah plans to embrace 2024. ​
