Leadership and Yoga

Alright, this is a unique one. Today I'm sharing my whole story with you, the "good," the "bad," the ugly and the beautiful.  This fireside chat about my life is intended to benefit two groups of people: those of you curious about the impact yoga can have on your life, and those of you who are teaching yoga or are interested in teaching someday.  In this episode you'll find part vulnerable share, part funny stories, and part insight to help you condense the amount of time it takes you to get from point A to point B. A being where you’re at and B being massive steps in the direction you want to go. Looking for 1:1 support? Check out my signature coaching program, Self-Leadership in Yoga.
