At Skill Yoga, we’ve made it our mission to combine yogic traditions with state of the art training science to make yoga more accessible and effective since day one. Overtime we began to see that for many, the regular practice of yoga was only the first step in moving towards understanding their true self and living a more connected, grateful and holistic life. Now, with our podcast Awaken your Abilities, hosted by Skill Yoga CEO Gerjet Efken, (@yoga_n_rhymes) we want to offer compelling experiences, weird habits, crazy routines, and inspiring ideas from other exceptional humans so you can test and incorporate new methods into your own life. Through the power of intelligent conversation, we want to be an inspiration and the gateway drug to personal growth.
