This week on the podcast I am joined by Megan Mulrine from Yoga Trotter. Megan is a yoga teacher, a yoga teacher trainer, and a digital nomad. Megan joined me from Bali, Indonesia to talk about the Hindu Gods, Goddesses and Deities that are important to the history of yoga and yoga asana.  On this episode, we talk about the importance of learning about the Gods, Godesses and Deities that are a part of yoga history and philosophy, and how we can integrate them into our practice and classes without it coming across as religious practice or cultural appropriation. We also talk about Megan's business, including her 50-hour YTT that she runs on the Gods of Yoga, what digital nomad life is like, how to make our offerings more financially sustainable without making them free, and more.  Enjoy!
