Meet Me on Your Mat / Yoga with Tori Hicks-Glogowski

Yay! It's time for another great yoga conversation and you are going to love this one. Today on the podcast you're going to meet Deb Connor - career woman, cat mom, beautiful friend, and life-long yogi. 

Through her yoga practice she has uncovered love for herself and her life piece by piece, making hard decisions about her marriage, battling anxiety, healing her high blood pressure, and so much more. 

Deb's yoga story involves the empowerment that comes with truly committing to a yoga practice. Like many of us, she showed up wearing all black and lots of clothes for her first couple of classes. 

And, then little by little as the love for herself grew, the clothes got brighter and skimpier, drawing her mat closer to the mirror at the studio, and giving no cares about what anyone else thought of her. What mattered most is how she loved and thought about herself. 

I know you can relate. Tune in this week to absorb all of the good nuggets of wisdom, have a couple of laughs with us about the practice and fill up your yoga inspiration gas tank.

Are you ready to settle in for another fun yoga chat with me? Today on the podcast you're going to meet Katie Townsend - wife, momma, incredible career woman, and life-long yogi. 

When she first began her yoga journey, she was not totally into it. It was not love at first breath. So,Katie would show up for her practice once a month, liking how she felt afterwards, but not in love with the time on her mat. 

And, each time she showed up, her studio at the time would say there was something wrong with her membership and then brush it off, telling her they'd take care of it later. Until, somehow she ended up with fourteen classes on her account. 

So, she decided to just take all fourteen as quickly as she could and be done with it. What happened? Yoga love. A life-long practice was established from this simple mistake. 

Tune in this week to absorb all of the good nuggets of wisdom, have a couple of laughs with us about the practice and fill up your yoga inspiration gas tank.
