About Sage & Crown
Our Mission
At Sage & Crown Wellness, we believe that true healing comes from within, inspired by a return to nature and the simplicity of life’s essential elements. Our intimate retreats are designed to guide you back to your own inner wisdom through movement, mindfulness, and nervous system regulation, all while immersing you in the natural world. We create a supportive space for you to reconnect with your body, find balance, and rediscover your capacity to heal yourself.
In a world often overwhelmed by the noise of modern life, our retreats offer a chance to escape the concrete jungle and embrace the rhythms of the natural world. We believe that stepping away from external distractions and returning to the earth allows us to hear our own thoughts more clearly and trust the wisdom that lies within.
Our Concept
Our retreats are thoughtfully curated to provide a grounded, intentional experience where participants can shed external noise and reconnect with their own intuition. We retreat to places where nature takes center stage—where fresh air, open spaces, and the beauty of the earth remind us of our innate resilience and capacity for growth.
Through guided movement practices, breathwork, and mindfulness exercises, we support you in cultivating tools to regulate your nervous system and build inner strength. Our focus is on fostering an authentic connection to the elements—feeling the earth beneath your feet, breathing in the freshness of the air, and allowing natural surroundings to inspire calm and clarity.
Instead of relying on external guidance or prescribed spiritual paths, we empower you to trust your own journey. Our approach is rooted in practical, accessible methods that nurture self-awareness and holistic well-being. Whether you are seeking restoration, clarity, or personal growth, our retreats offer a sanctuary for you to deepen your relationship with yourself through the healing power of nature.

about stephanie nicole
Stephanie Nicole is the heart and founder of Sage & Crown Wellness, a natural evolution of a decade-long journey that began with the opening of JTown Hot Yoga in 2015. As the visionary behind one of the most beloved yoga communities in the Philadelphia area, Stephanie has taught thousands of classes and poured her heart into building a space that’s sweaty, soulful, and unapologetically real.
While she remains deeply involved with JTown, Sage & Crown represents a broader calling—an expansion rooted in everything she’s learned from the heat, the healing, and the hustle. This new chapter offers curated, transformation-driven experiences that reach far beyond the hot room: intimate jungle sabbaticals, psilocybin-supported retreats, corporate wellness consulting, global yoga adventures, and the design of custom 200-hour, 300-hour, and fitness training programs for studios ready to grow.
Over the years, Stephanie has mentored countless teachers—some trained directly by her, others drawn to her for guidance after their initial certifications—helping them refine their voice, elevate their presence, and lead with greater purpose and depth. She also consults with other studio owners and aspiring entrepreneurs, offering hands-on support to help bring their visions to life—from structuring training programs to opening their very first studio.
Whether it’s on a yoga mat, in the jungle, or across the boardroom table, Stephanie brings the same energy—sharp, loving, and rooted in real world experience.
