Megan Aaron, queen of all things yoga and one of this year’s movement leaders at MTM, is on this pod this week! We talk about her unexpected origins in yoga, including why Buti Yoga is the “cure that has been kept a secret”. (Join us at MTM to experience Buti Yoga for yourself!) She also shares her origins of practicing Ayurveda, the healing powers it provided for herself and her daughter, and how our Ayurvedic constitutions help us show up in the world. Megan leaves us with some major words of wisdom takeaways including how it’s not our job to be other’s favorite or be good at everything, the key theme of simplicity in our lives, and recognizing and honoring our energy capacities. Reserve your ticket for Motivation Through Movement on May 20th to experience a Buti Yoga class with the Yoga Queen!
