In this heartfelt episode of Mindfulness in Real Time, Clayton Platt welcomes Sarah Platt-Finger—renowned yoga teacher, co-founder of ISHTA Yoga, director of Chopra Yoga, and co-author of Living in the Light. But most meaningfully, Sarah is Clayton’s niece.

Together, they explore the deep intersections of mindfulness, parenting, leadership, and the spiritual path—all through the lens of real-life moments. From Sarah’s early years as an upside-down gymnast to the humbling lessons of motherhood, she shares how embodied practice becomes a compass for navigating uncertainty, intensity, and joy.

Listen in for stories of teaching yoga with a crying newborn, finding flow on a four-inch balance beam, and how surrendering control can be a form of strength. This episode is a meditation on being present—especially when life doesn’t go to plan.
