Activation warning: Randy shares about his childhood experience with Domestic Violence; please self-reference when this episode is suitable for you to listen.

Randy is a yoga teacher, pilates instructor in training and young professional living in Philadelphia, PA. He is originally from the West Coast (holla!), but has resided in Philly for the last several years. In this episode, Randy shares with us his journey in finding yoga, his health crisis at the age of 35 when diagnosed with an autoimmune disease and his lust for self-study (Svadhyaya) and finding the community spaces/places where others share similar values.

Our paths crossed when doing a 3o hour Advanced Teacher Training at The Well Studio, owned and operated by Marissa Nash in Fishtown - a suburb of Philadelphia. Our kindred soul connection inspired conversations to follow our training & many more to come!

Randy can be found on Instagram @yoga_aficionado & if you are local, you can take one of his classes at The Yoga Habit or Thrive Pilates & Yoga.
