Join me, Shawna Krueger, for an interview with my guest, Adell Bridges. This is a special episode because Adell is the MOST requested interview on the Leadership and Yoga podcast and today I have the honor of sharing our conversation with you!!
Adell is a yoga teacher, movement motivator, author and creator of the MWA (Move with Adell) method. Based in the UK, she is “an internet personality” according to google.
If you are tuning in today, you will hear insights from Adell on teaching yoga, the brain, handstands, and creativity in teaching. You’ll also find out how she went from taking 3 yoga classes over 10 years and thinking yoga wasn’t “for her” to being where she is today. You don’t want to miss this one!
