In this engaging episode, I sit down with the wonderful Karen to delve into the essence of being an authentic yoga teacher. Karen generously shares her unique journey into the world of yoga teaching, offering insights into her transformation from working at a salon to becoming the most popular yoga teacher in Long Beach with packed and waitlisted classes.

We navigate the misconceptions surrounding the role, addressing the common belief that being a "yoga teacher" isn't a "real" job. Karen shares her perspective on the 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training (YTT) being just the beginning of the learning journey and breaks down the myth that yoga teachers don't face the same human experiences as everyone else.

Join us in this candid conversation as we explore the real and relatable aspects of being a yoga teacher. From the challenges to the triumphs, Karen's story unfolds, providing a glimpse into the authentic and inspiring world of yoga teaching. Tune in and discover the depth of what it truly means to be an authentic yoga teacher. 🎙️
