220. Full Circle Yoga Journey: Blissful Spirits & Hidden Pearls - Melanie St. Georges

In 2019, the year before we started Hidden Pearls Podcast, I (Emma) was living in Albuquerque, NM. Being so far away from home, I started looking for connections in yoga studios. After my first class at Blissful Spirits, I was hooked and knew I wanted to be part of it. I was only in ABQ a few months after I started teaching but enjoyed every opportunity to teach at practice at their beautiful studios. A huge reason for my appreciation and draw to the studio was connecting with the owner and...

Happy Holidays Hidden Pearls Fam! Niners are back at home this weekend after traveling out east to Philly to take on the then 10-1 Eagles.

While he was talking some smack he was walking some jack and backed it all up! Shout out to Randy Moss who before the game called Deebo out for talking and not producing in last year’s NFC Champions...
