Yoga Chat

Jessie, CeeCee chat with our teacher and life guide Veronica Parker on Access Consciousness. She also leads us through a beautiful short guided meditation to help use lower our barriers , expand our consciousness and tap into more possibilities of our life.

This is a great chat with Christina Flory. She is a Bikram Certified teacher who teaches yoga for us at our Yoga studio in Voorhees, NJ. She also works for TD Bank and was kind enough to come on the show and help piece together some common questions regarding PPP and and financial aspect of owning a yoga studio. She does not give financial advise but she has helped me immensely to understand what small businesses are eligible for, language to use when talking to banks, and how to better understand the information and sometimes the misinformation. If you are a small business owner and unsure of where to start to understand the basics this is for you..

A published Author, accomplished Yogi and Mom she comes to us from Switzerland to talk about yoga in quarantine as well as her experiences with moving to teaching yoga in an online platform and her experience in Switzerland and Geneva with the Co-VID 19 virus. We met at the Barkan Teacher Training about 4 years ago and became great friends and peers. We admire her knowledge and teaching ability as well as her accomplishments on and off the mat. This chat is a little longer than others but, in my opinion, is worth it to hear her thoughts on the scope of the yoga industry going forward.
