This week on the podcast I am joined by Kara Seymour from Liv Kundalini, joining me all the way from Portland, Maine. She is a yoga teacher, a studio owner and a mother.

Kara started practicing yoga as a single mom, and after falling in love with the practice she decided to become a yoga teacher. Throughout Kara’s journey, she’s followed the “winks” from the universe that she’s received, which has inspired her to open not one, but two yoga studios. Kara shares what it’s been like opening a kundalini yoga studio in a state where there isn’t much kundalini yoga practiced, what she’s learned through the process, advice for new yoga teachers and more.

Enjoy!

  • Tune into those link winks from the universe!

  • You have to trust yourself and you have to trust yourself
  • When you have a burning passion for something, you need to just do it and you’ll figure out the details along the way
  • Ask for support in whatever way you need support – do you need money? Do you need help with the business? Do you need help with a business plan?
