The Arden Yoga & Wellness Podcast

After a refreshing two-month break, I'm thrilled to be back. This episode is packed with exciting updates and reflections from my summer adventures, including a trip to Canada and some much-needed simplification and decluttering in my life.

We’ll be exploring how this period of slowing down has left me feeling rejuvenated and ready for change, both personally and professionally. I'm also eager to share about the newly revamped Arden Yoga membership, which now offers a comprehensive health coaching course, exclusive master classes, and deeper community connections. I'm also sharing why the podcast is moving to once a month episode releases and what you can expect in this space.

Tune in to hear:

• Why I chose to take a pause over the summer and the impact it had
• My experience being offline this summer and my (unintended but great) tech-free trip to Canada
• How the podcast and Arden Yoga membership are merging for a more immersive experience
• An exclusive sneak peek into the enhanced membership
