Lauren Rudick is an international yoga teacher, running teacher trainings in Costa Rica through Yoga Academy International, and running retreats around the world. On this episode, Lauren shares her teaching journey and how she has got to where she is now. She shares the challenges, the ups and downs of being a yoga teacher, and what she's learned along the way. We chat about teaching yoga while traveling, why Lauren didn't like teaching full-time yoga in her home city of Montreal, how she went from yoga employee to yoga entrepreneur, finding gigs at festivals, hosting teacher trainings, how to persist through rejection, how to build a big following on Instagram, and so much more!
