Meet Me On Your Mat Part 1

This week I’m joined by Tori Hicks-Glogowski whose super power is to take a student stuck in the beginner yoga world and move them into something much more challenging and fun, teaching them the foundations and fundamentals to fly, float, and bend in a whole new way to transform not only their practice, but their lives. It’s a VERY fun convo, with more than the usual number of diversions and sidebars.

What Yogananda's 'SRF Lessons' Have to Teach Modern Yogipreneurs: Part 1

Paramahansa Yogananda devoted his life to the spread of knowledge about the techniques of Yoga and meditation. His famous work ‘Autobiography of a Yogi’ is arguably the most famous work for seekers and was famously handed out to mourners at the wake of Steve Jobs. In this Episode we’re taking a look at one of his other important offerings, the ‘Lessons’. Digressions include Meghan Markle, me dragging my friend all over LA and a quick trip to Auckland?
