About this episode
Sara Klute Behn discusses her journey and the importance of self-awareness in facilitating meaningful change.
In this episode of Emotion Well, host Johanna Dunlevy sits down with Sara Klute Behn, owner of Your Wise Self with Sara and one of EFR’s newest wellness trainers. Sara shares her journey from two decades in nonprofit health care philanthropy to launching her own practice—an evolution she describes as a midlife awakening rooted in curiosity, courage, and intuition. Sara explains what yoga therapy really is and how it differs from a traditional yoga class. She also talks about the mind-body-spirit tools used to support people navigating stress, anxiety, chronic conditions, and major life transitions. Sara also introduces listeners to human design, a personalized framework that can help people understand their energy, decision-making style, and natural strengths, and explains how it intersects with astrology, including why some people may resonate with “true sidereal” placements more than traditional horoscope signs. Listen and learn how self-awareness is the starting point for meaningful change and how wellness is about supporting the whole person, not just physical health.
