Bringing Your Vision Into Form with Morgan O'Hare

Morgan O'Hare is a yoga teacher, entrepreneur, and founder of Present Practice, an Austin-based yoga and wellness studio home to one of the most sought-after teacher training programs in the country. What started as a studio has grown into a global community, leading retreats and trainings across 30+ destinations worldwide. Her work bridges ancient wisdom with modern building, helping people connect to purpose, self-trust, and the creative process through the chakra system, karma yoga, and embodied practice.In this episode, Saara and Morgan trace Morgan's path from corporate life to founding her own studio, including what it took to trust herself enough to make that leap. They get into the messiness of creation and how failures are realignments rather than setbacks. They also explore the chakra system as a framework for self-discovery, the shift from feeling like a victim to becoming a creator, and what it actually looks like to bring a vision into form.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Morgan O'Hare02:59 Yoga House at SXSW05:51 Following Excitement08:56 Karma Yoga and Living from the Inside Out11:55 Finding Yoga as a Teenager14:47 Tying Worth to Being Impressive18:06 The First Retreat20:53 Trust Is Built in Small Steps23:56 Leaving Corporate27:04 Co-Founding with a Best Friend37:25 Normalizing Realignment42:35 The Messiness of Creation44:34 From Victim to Creator51:09 Manifesting Through the Chakras01:01:35 Desire, Doubt, and Bringing Vision Into Form01:12:44 Closing QuestionsConnect with Morgan@MorganOHareYoga @PresentPracticeYogaPresentPracticeYoga.comConnect with Saara⁠⁠@SaaraLampwalla
