Awaken Interviews Sarah Finger – How Does Yoga Help Us to Awaken To Higher Consciousness?

My interview with David Welsh about the awakening practice of yoga was so enriching. I'm grateful for the opportunity to share it with you here!

I have found in my own experience that without my daily dose of inner connection I cannot fully provide for…

I am honored to share with you the launch of my own personal website. For over 13 years I have had the privilege of being able to teach ISHTA Yoga, and as the roles I have taken on in my life have evolved from Teacher to Business Owner, to Mother, so too has a new…
