Done That, Choosing Not To

See this content in the original post

I'm so excited to finally have this episode out. Alex Auder is an actor, a writer and an incredible Yoga Teacher, part of a very specific OG niche of the NY Yoga scene. Her book, Don't Call Me Home is out now.

This episode gets both personal and very NY-yoga-world-insider-y as she and I reminisce about our beginnings in the movement world, the loose boundaries of our childhood upbringings, and a topic I've been desperate to discuss - how in the world any of us can practice Yoga when pretty much every major Yoga teacher has been "Me-too-ed".

Also please forgive that the first 20 minutes of the episode Alex's mic wasn't connecting so she sounds a bit muffled, my producer hopped on and fixed it and the rest of the interview she's crystal clear.

Alex is a brilliant, hilarious, wonderful guest and the author of the memoir, Don't Call Me Home. I highly recommend it and her extremely rare classes that pop up at Kula Yoga. You can also follow Alex on her Instagram account where hopefully she will grace us with more performance art soon.

I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I did. As always please subscribe, like, share and leave a review. It helps get this podcast listened to.
