Sahara is known for making ancient wisdom accessible for today’s people. She’s written the top two best-selling Ayurveda books nationwide, Eat Feel Fresh: A Contemporary Plant-Based Ayurvedic Cookbook and Idiot’s Guide to Ayurveda, both with forewords by Deepak Chopra, who has claimed he is “passing the Ayurvedic torch to her.” She also published A Yogic Path, a Vedic-inspired oracle card deck and will be releasing her next book Discover Your Dharma in January 2021.

Sahara hosts the viral Highest Self Podcast, which has over 11 million downloads. Highest Self Podcast is the #1 top-ranked spirituality podcast on the US iTunes store and the #1 religion and spirituality podcast in the Australian iTunes store, putting it in the top 1% of all podcasts. The show consists of weekly solocasts, as well as weekly interviews with experts including don Miguel Ruiz, Deepak Chopra, Gretchen Ruben, Gabby Bernstein, amongst others. Deepak Chopra has called the podcast “medicine for the millennials” and it was also listed as top 7 podcasts by Yoga Journal magazine. Her weekly heartfelt solocasts are what have built a loyal and dedicated audience who truly understands her values.

Sahara Rose has organically become a well-known personality in the spirituality/wellness space due to her 9+ years of blogging, daily social media posts, two weekly podcasts and a host of videos/ courses. Her community is extremely loyal and she hosts sold-out events with thousands of individuals per event around the country, as well as has been hired to speak at Google Headquarters, Wanderlust Festivals, Penguin Random House offices, amongst others. Her success led to an invitation from Michelle Obama asking Sahara to speak at Harvard Medical School’s 'Let’s Move Campaign' event.

Sahara studied Ayurveda first-hand in India, where has lived for two years and also volunteered teaching Health and Sanitation in the slums. She lived with a family of herbal medicine healers in the jungles of Bali for another six months, and it is there she wrote her first book. She is a graduated of Boston University, Institute for Integrative Nutrition, International Sports Science Association, Sri Kaya Kalp Ayurvedic Institute and American Institute for Vedic Studies.

Sahara is the current leader in the modern Vedic spirituality/ wellness space, following the steps of her mentor Deepak Chopra, but with a millennial flavor.

She is the founder of Rose Gold Goddesses, a sacred sisterhood collective with it's very own app, courses, workshops, monthly Goddess circles, live events and supportive community.

She is loved for her down-to-Earth, grounded approach to these complex topics and for offering pragmatic steps individuals can take to instill these values into their everyday lives.

One of my favorite events of the year is Attune, a thoughtfully curated four-day event at Serenbe filled with opportunities to connect socially, attune inwardly, and get inspired through immersive experiences. I got to record episodes with some of the smartest and most inspiring spiritual leaders around today while I was there in 2019, but few manage to make that wisdom more accessible than today’s guest.

Whether it’s in her bestselling books, the Highest Self Podcast, or Rose Gold Goddesses, Sahara Rose just has a knack for making spiritual and Ayurvedic wisdom fun and relatable so it can serve the needs of today's people.

When you first hear about Ayurveda, a holistic healing system created in India thousands of years ago, it can seem like this mystical, unapproachable thing. But the beauty of Ayurveda is its simplicity, and how easily it can be integrated into our lives. So, today, Sahara shares how she applies Ayurveda to improve her own life — and how you can, too.

I’ll also be back at Attune later this year if you want to meet me and hear from incredible attendees like Sahara Rose, Joe Dispenza, and John Wineland. Head over to attuneexperience.com to learn more and reserve your tickets.
