Every class I’ve taken here has been a joy, and the beautiful, open space only adds to the experience. I wholeheartedly recommend this studio to anyone looking for a vibrant and local fitness community." —C.B.

"Sarah takes me inward to places I couldn’t access myself. I really cannot find words for how grateful I am to Sarah for taking her vision and making it a reality in our community. What she channels with passion and purpose—with a divine connection between the micro and the macro through divine feminine healing—is truly revolutionary." —E.W.
We integrate knowledge and innovation, blending academic expertise with accessible, holistic wellness offerings.
Meet Sarah Hentges (she/they/we), the founder of The Spiral Goddess Collective and Spiral Studio, its vibrant community hub.
As a cultural critic, dance & movement facilitator, professor, and visionary she brings decades of experience in fitness, yoga, dance, and academia into an embodied, liberatory practice. Her offerings blend trauma-informed care, creative movement, embodied social justice, and radical joy. She holds a Ph.D. in American Studies, multiple yoga and fitness certifications, and JourneyDance™ facilitator training—but her deepest wisdom comes from walking the edges, questioning the rules, and daring to move differently.
Through her classes, workshops, and mentorship, Sarah creates space for those who have spent their lives putting others first to reconnect with their own power. Her work is a practice of softening and awakening, of truth-telling and transformation.
She invites you to move and be moved. To come as you are. To find freedom in your body, your story, and your path forward.
