Sober Yoga Girl Alex McRobert

In today's episode I share a short story on something I experienced this past week - an anxious thought spiral around something very silly in hindsight!

I speak about how I use my knowledge of yoga philosophy and the five vrittis (thought spirals), and the strategies of HALT, plus communication skills with my friend, to work through my thoughts!

In this episode I speak about the Yoga Sutra Study which started at the end of March. You can check out the program here! https://www.themindfullifepractice.com/yoga-sutra-study

On this episode I had my friend Megan Wilcox on the show! Megan from Sobah Sistahs is absolutely incredible. She came to be a guest in the Sober Girls Club this week, and shared her story about going alcohol free, and creating the Sobah Sistahs community. Megan has hosted two retreats in Bali as well as in other locations around the world and I have had the pleasure of teaching yoga on both of her Bali retreats and look forward to doing it again in 2025! Check out everything Megan has to offer on her website: https://sobahsistahs.com/

In this episode, I sat down with Rachel Brady, who has graduated from virtually every online yoga teacher training I offer! Rachel Brady is a mum of three based in the UK. In this episode Rachel shares her sober story, her ups and downs with it, how yoga enhanced her sober journey, and her new journey creating her new business post-ytt.

In this amazing episode of the podcast I had my Yoga Philosophy Teacher, Anvita, on the podcast! Anvita was raised in Mumbai and grew up in a yoga institution led by her grandfather and father. She has a big YouTube following where I first encountered her work! In this episode we speak about some of the biggest misunderstandings I had about yoga, such as using the word "yogi", the word "namaste", "pratyahara" time - and more! Anvita teaches about how we can embody yoga and not just practice it on the mat.  You can learn more about Anvita's offerings here. https://www.yogicgurukul.com/

In this special episode I sit down with one of my Yoga Teacher Training Graduates, Niamh, and she shares her journey with yoga healing her Crohn's Disease. Niamh is a yoga teacher, art therapist and counsellor who is originally from Canada but now lives in Thailand. In this amazing episode Niamh shares how the Yoga Teacher Training programs transformed her life. I am so excited to have Niamh assisting me on a 200 Hour YTT this April in Bali. If you're looking for a last minute, small and safe experience to become a yoga teacher - this is for you!
