The Business of Yoga

The business of yoga is an ever complex, delicate balance of marketing, finances, community, and messaging. Read my interview with Yoga Journal here on my thoughts and insights on what makes a successful yoga teacher and yoga business. “The more you can crystalize your intention of what you want to create for yourself, the…

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!
