Listen Later

Harmony Slater and Bobbi Paidel, host of the Curious Yogi podcast, dive deep into a compelling journey of self-discovery and transformation. From a remote town in Alberta to an ashram in India, Bobbi shares how yoga helped her overcome scoliosis, addiction, and mental health struggles. Her story is a testament to the power of dedicated practice, spiritual teachings, and a life-altering shift toward meditation, pranayama, and asana.

They discuss finding balance between Eastern and Western practices, navigating spiritual awakening, and living with grace amidst life's chaos. Bobbi's insights reveal how even the simplest routines, like creating a "Toilet Temple," can anchor us in moments of stillness and clarity. Whether you're a seasoned yogi or a curious seeker, this conversation offers a refreshing perspective on embracing life's challenges with an open heart.
