About Sarah

Sarah Platt-Finger is the Director of Yoga at The Gaja Collective and co-founder of ISHTA Yoga. An internationally recognized teacher, she has guided a global community that includes thought leaders, entrepreneurs, creatives, and public figures, offering practices that bridge ancient wisdom with modern life.

Sarah is deeply versed in the healing sciences of yoga, Ayurveda, breathwork, and meditation, and is known for translating these traditions into accessible, transformative experiences. She is the co-author of Living in the Light: Yoga for Self-Realization, a comprehensive guide to personal growth, fulfillment, and expanded consciousness.

She received her 500-hour certification in the ISHTA lineage in 2004 and was later initiated as a Yoga Master by her mentor, Kavi Yogiraj Alan Finger, in 2013. Sarah has played a pivotal role in developing one of New York City’s most respected yoga teacher training programs, now expanded internationally across Europe, Asia, and Australia. She also created the Chopra Yoga 200-hour Online Teacher Training, accredited by Yoga Alliance and offered in over 85 countries.

In addition to her international teaching, Sarah leads both private and group sessions, working closely with individuals seeking greater clarity, resilience, and alignment. As a founding member of Exhale to Inhale, a nonprofit providing trauma-informed yoga, her work is rooted in healing, empowerment, and sustainable transformation.

Sarah’s approach reflects her core belief that yoga is not confined to the mat—it is a living practice that shapes how we think, lead, and relate. Through cultivating awareness of the body, mind, and subtle energies, she guides students toward a deeper connection with themselves and the world around them.
