For the woman who’s ready
for something more
A space to slow down, to listen
and to build a more intentional way of living
Hello, beautiful soul…
I’m so happy you found your way here.
I’m Sara, founder of Fina Collective.
This space was born from my own journey ofhealing and from the love my grandmother Fina,once planted in me.
She once told me to never stop caring for peoplethe way I do. Somehow, those words stayed.
Over time, that care became a space for women to slow down, reconnect, feel held and simply be.
A space rooted in softness, presence and the quiet power of women coming together.
Before Fina Collective
Before there was Fina Collective, there was a woman trying to find her way back to herself.
For years, I lived with depression, anxiety and a quiet feeling that something was missing.
I knew there had to be more to life than simply getting through the days, but I didn’t know where to look for it.
So I began searching.
And that search changed everything.
Kenya - The first call
In 2017, something inside me whispered that I needed to leave everything familiar behind.
I didn’t go to Kenya looking for answers, I simply felt called to go.
I found myself living with a Maasai family in a small village, far away from everything I knew.
There, life was simpler.
Days were spent helping wherever I could, sharing time with the local community, teaching, learning and giving what I had to give.
For the first time in a long time, I stopped focusing on what was missing in my own life.
Instead, I found myself connecting with others through service, kindness and human connection.
And although I couldn’t explain it then, something inside me started to awaken.
Coming back home
When I returned home, I thought things would be different.
But life has a way of showing us what still needs healing. Old patterns returned and the questions were still there.
And despite everything I had experienced, I still felt lost, I couldn’t fit anyomore in the life I used to be.
Then life hit even harder.
I lost my grandmother, Fina.
The world shut down during Covid.
And once again, I found myself searching for solid ground beneath my feet.
Kenya - The second call
A few years later, life brought me back to Kenya.
And somehow, it felt like coming home.
For the first time in a long time, I stopped rushing.
I began living at a slower pace, following the rhythm of the days rather than constantly chasing the next thing. I found joy in simple moments. Barefoot walks. Long conversations. The ocean. Sunsets. Shared meals.
The kind of moments that remind you what it means to truly be alive.
Little by little, I started reconnecting with the woman I had always been beneath the anxiety, the expectations and the noise.
And it was there, in that slower and simpler way of living, that yoga found me for the first time.
And it was there, in that slower and simpler way of
living, that yoga found me for the first time.
Following the feeling
After meeting yoga in Kenya, something in me wanted to understand more.
I was curious about what the practice was doing to me beyond the physical movement.
Why did I feel more present? Why did I feel closer to myself? Why did something so simple feel so deep?
So I followed that curiosity all the way to Rishikesh, India, the birthplace of yoga.
There, I began to understand that yoga was never just about the body. It was breath. Presence. Self-inquiry.
A way of listening. A way of remembering.
But perhaps the greatest gift I found wasn’t yoga itself. It was the women.
Women living from their essence, women who saw me, heard me, held space for me and reminded me of my own strength, women who cried with me, supported me and encouraged me to keep going when I doubted myself.
For the first time, I truly experienced what can happen when women come together, not to compete, but to support one another.
A seed was planted there. And slowly, that seed began to take shape as Fina Collective.
My path
My approach is shaped by both professional training and lived experience.
Before discovering yoga, I studied Nutrition and then mastered for becoming a Biology teacher, so I worked as a Biology teacher, developing a deep curiosity about the human body, health and wellbeing.
Later, that curiosity led me to Rishikesh, India, where I completed my 500-hour Ashtanga-Vinyasa Yoga Teacher Training, as well as specialised training in Pre- and Postnatal Yoga.
Today, I continue to deepen my studies in meditation and pranayama, exploring the connection between breath, presence and the nervous system.
Everything I share through Fina Collective is an invitation to bring together science, wisdom, movement and lived experience in a way that feels grounded, human and accessible.
The Women Who
Reminded Me Who I Am
Along the way, I met extraordinary women. Some stayed for years. Others crossed my path for only a
season.
Each of them reflected something back to me that I had forgotten. My strength, my softness, my courage,
my voice.
They saw me before I could fully see myself. They held me through heartbreak, uncertainty, growth and
transformation.
This space exists because of them too. Because none of us are meant to walk this path alone.

Why women?
For a long time, I thought healing was something I had to do alone. I thought I had to be strong enough, clear enough, ready enough. But again and again, life showed me something different.
Some of the deepest shifts in my life happened in the presence of other women, not because they had the answers for me, but because they created spaces where I could finally hear myself.
Spaces where I didn’t have to perform, where I could soften, where I could be honest and I could fall apart and still feel held.
Through those women, I began to understand the kind of space I wanted to create, a space where women can come back to themselves, not through pressure or perfection, but through presence, softness, movement, breath and connection.
That is why Fina Collective is a space for women.
Because I know what can happen when a woman feels truly seen, and I believe every woman deserves to remember that she doesn’t have to walk this path alone.
Why Fina?
Fina was my grandmother.
She had a way of being with people that made you feel at ease without even trying.
You didn’t have to explain yourself, you just felt safe around her.
She taught me a kind of love that was quiet, present and steady, the kind that listens, stays and doesn’t need to prove anything.
Fina Collective comes from that, from what she showed me.
And from what I later realised I needed in my own life.
In many ways, this is my way of honouring her and carrying a small part of who she was into everything I create.
Welcome to Fina Collective
You don’t have to have it all figured out.
You don’t have to be anything more than who you are in this moment.
Fina Collective is a space to return to your body, your softness, your truth and the quiet wisdom already living within you.
