This week on the podcast I am joined by Megan Mulrine from Yoga Trotter. Megan is a yoga teacher, a yoga teacher trainer, and a digital nomad. Megan joined me from Bali, Indonesia to talk about the Hindu Gods, Goddesses and Deities that are important to the history of yoga and yoga asana.
On this episode, we talk about the importance of learning about the Gods, Godesses and Deities that are a part of yoga history and philosophy, and how we can integrate them into our practice and classes without it coming across as religious practice or cultural appropriation. We also talk about Megan’s business, including her 50-hour YTT that she runs on the Gods of Yoga, what digital nomad life is like, how to make our offerings more financially sustainable without making them free, and more.
Enjoy!

This week on the podcast I am very excited to be joined by Veronica Thai from the Curious Monki podcast. Veronica is not only a fellow podcast host, but also a fellow yoga teacher and Albertan! Veronica and I met a few years ago and have had the pleasure of spending time together in person, as well as doing some Desire Map coaching together.
One of the things that inspires me the most about Veronica and her business is that she does everything from a feeling perspective, rather than a thinking perspective. On this episode, we talk about her journey as a yoga teacher, starting a podcast, overcoming imposter syndrome, and how she came to run a heart centered business. Of course, she also shares business lessons that she learned along the way!
