Greetings from Kolkata, the birthplace of some of the main characters in the story of Yoga’s journey to the West! In touring the homes of these folks, I’ve felt inspired to share with you a Yoga influencer from history that you might have not heard of! This episode previously aired in September 2022 as a Patreon bonus. Enjoy!

Also, in this replay I’m launching my brand new, small and potent 5-part mastermind you’ll actually make your first international retreat happen. Over two fun, focused months, you’ll ditch the overwhelm and plan, price, and market your first international retreat with clarity and confidence.

By the end, you won’t just have ideas — you’ll have your dates locked in, your offer crafted, and real steps taken toward a retreat that’s ready for your students to buy! This is NOT simply a training course. It is YOU, ME and a small group of inspiring colleagues actually getting this work done and making your dream retreat a reality.
