In today’s episode, we sit down with yoga teacher and mom, Sarah Karsten, who shares how yoga found her in the most unexpected way. What began simply as something new to try slowly became the anchor that supported her through back pain, anxiety, and years of struggling with her body image.
She speaks openly about the healing that unfolded through her practice—how yoga helped her reconnect with her body, soften her nervous system, and develop a gentler, more compassionate relationship with herself.
Her story is a reflection on how the right practice finds you when you least expect it, and how small steps taken in curiosity can lead to profound shifts in identity, confidence, and inner peace.
We also explore how yoga prepared her for motherhood in ways she never anticipated, offering her tools for grounding, presence, patience, and emotional resilience. What began as a personal practice eventually became a calling, guiding her into becoming a yoga teacher and sharing the same healing that once found her.
This conversation is a reminder of the quiet ways that healing begins, the power of embodiment, and the unexpected paths that lead us home to ourselves.
