1 小时 0 分钟You know, I have friends who are just so gorgeous and elegant, and they really are the same person inside and outside.
And I thought, I want that.
I want to know what that feels like.
I want to behave in the same way that I behave with my students, with my parents, and with my man.
And I didn't know how to do that.
I had a lot of fun sitting down with today's guest, Elena Brauer, who's a wonderful yoga teacher and meditation teacher, writer, speaker, and a real teacher of teachers, somebody who works with so many teachers to help them go deeper into their own practice and really understand and own and refine and share their true voices so that they can turn around and create a larger ripple in a greater number of people's lives.
This conversation goes deep into her own journey.
We were actually teaching yoga in New York City in very different places.
We each owned our own studios at a similar point in time.
So there's a little bit of inside yoga, and we also talk about the really interesting dynamic between yoga and business and how sometimes they work really well together and how they battle with each other as well.
And then we really dive into her personal journey.
And Elena's been incredibly transparent with some of her very personal struggles and also why she chose not to keep them private, but really to turn around and share them with the world in the hopes that she would both receive accountability and support, but also inspire others to own their own challenges and to step into the actions needed to change things.
Elena also has a really cool new book.
It's actually in his fourth printing now, but it's coming out through my friends at sound true.
Called the art of attention.
And it's gorgeous.
Beautifully.
I'm a total design snob, as you guys probably know by now.
Really beautifully designed.
We talk a little bit about that and what led to that at the end as well.
