Yoga Life
29 episodes - English - Latest episode: almost 2 years ago -Ever wondered why people get so into yoga? Or are you already a big time yoga nerd?
This podcast takes you completely off the yoga mat and away from the postures but takes a deeper look at the many yoga concepts and how they can influence every day life and the struggles that we are faced.
With over a decade of yoga experience between them, struggles with mental health and a huge love of self development, Dawn and Alex take a look at a different yoga concept each week and how these concepts have impacted their lives for the better and how you can experience the same.
