Summary

An uplifting yoga story for Earth Day! I talked to well-known yoga teacher and environmental activist Amy Ippoliti about her project to raise awareness for marine life. She shares what it was like doing yoga with whale sharks, manta rays, and dolphins and how her yoga practice supported her. Plus, we talk about her soon-to-be-released book, “The Art and Practice of Teaching Yoga: The Yoga Professional’s Guide to a Fulfilling Career” and ideas for helping young girls maintain healthy self-esteem. For a peek at the gorgeous photos of Amy practicing yoga with sea life, go to the shownotes: yogalandpodcast.com/episode1/
