Summary

For the last interview of 2018, I am so excited to share an interview with Insight Yoga founder Sarah Powers. Sarah has been a huge influence on my yoga practice, my meditation practice, and my life. 


Here's what we talk about:


* Yoga and parenting: How Sarah introduced her daughter to yoga and what impact she believes growing up in a yoga family had on her daughter  


* How Sarah and Ty came to the decision to home school their daughter and how that decision made Sarah a better yoga teacher


* Why continuing to make time to attend workshops and retreats as a student is still an essential part of Sarah's life


* She talks about the amount of time it took for her to feel confident as a yoga teacher, especially since she brings so many different elements of yoga, meditation, Buddhism, and psychology into her teaching


* Plus, she offers some practical advice for yoga teachers
