ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Mātrikā's Muse is the story.Lara is its steward.
Born with an artistic, sensitive spirit, Lara first channeled her creativity into dance and theater. From early on, she was drawn to profound expression and unseen worlds—threads that later spun into her spiritual path.

Lara Sanderson is a lifelong student of yogic wisdom and inner practice. Formerly a public yoga teacher, she now writes from the garden—literally and figuratively. Her work explores the transformative power of inner peace as a catalyst for collective healing.
Before devoting herself fully to a yogic life, Lara spent over fifteen years working across nonprofit organizations, private industry, and political organizing. She contributed in research, communications, development, and government relations, and was awarded a Marshall Memorial Fellowship in 2006 for emerging leaders in transatlantic relations. She is also a graduate of The Center for Women & Democracy and a member of Alpha Sigma Nu, the honor society of Jesuit Universities.
