Yoga for Billionaires
Breathe in, Billions out!!! Yoga for Billionaires is a 1-hour immersive comedy that pokes fun at our obsession with extreme wealth. It parodies American culture’s interest in eastern spirituality and its non-stop infatuation with making money.
“We strive for peace and enlightenment but don't we just want to be filthy rich?!
Written, directed and starring Sara Raj featuring Lindita Kulla with sound design by Wendy Cascade. The play was co-produced with the Peoples Improv Theatre in Manhattan in July 2022 and ran through Fall 2022/ Winter 2023. The Yoga for Billionaires team has been accepted into a number of competitive festivals including: SOLOCOM NYC 2023, PHYSFEST NYC 2024, and will participate in upcoming Fringe Festivals in 2024.
THE CAST
THE CAST
Sara Raj plays megalomaniac yoga guru Saraji. Albanian-American actress, comedian and photographer Lindita Kulla plays her hilarious assistant.
The unlikely duo take physical comedy to another level.
Part-scripted, part-improvised every performance is unique because every audience is unique.
Whether you’re young, old or in-between, whether you’ve done yoga before or you’re really not into it, whether you care about politics or not, this show will have you giggling for days after the show. It’s a one-of-a-kind experience that will make you laugh with strangers, do strange things, and leave you feeling better about the world.
Here are some of our favourite pictures from our 6 show run in NYC Fall/ Winter 2022/23.

Other Projects
In addition to expanding the stages upon which Yoga for Billionaires is presented, Sara is working on a number of new works - both prose and comedy. Her upcoming book, “Five Years of Myself” is a set of personal essays and poems she wrote to herself over the course of five years as a way of making sense of heartbreak. Her stand-up and other performance work can be seen on her Youtube channel.
