Today on the podcast we are so pleased to have Sarah Platt Finger. She is the Director of Yoga at Chopra Global, and the co-founder of ISHTA Yoga, LLC. On this episode we discuss her new book Living in the Light: Yoga for Self-Realization, which she co-authored with Dr. Deepak Chopra.

The book discusses Royal Yoga, an all-embracing path to personal transformation that reaches beyond any approach to wellness and healing that exists today. It also combines a practical thirty-day program that will help you break limiting habits and belief systems with an in-depth exploration of fifty stimulating and restorative yoga poses. Deepak and Sarah provide a thorough and inspiring way to unite the mind, body, and soul. Sarah believes that the practice of yoga can be used as a microcosm for the reality we create off the mat, and that a deeper awareness of our physical, mental, and emotional patterns can bring us closer to the essence of our being.
