I recently attended a Hatha Yoga Retreat co-hosted by Urban Yogis from Everett, WA and Samantha Westerwelle. I was blown away by Samantha's knowledge and her ability to share it in such a way that I wasn't overwhelmed- rather I was encouraged and inspired to learn more! Having never attended a yoga retreat before- I wasn't sure what to expect. I would highly recommend you attend one of her retreats- whether you teach yoga, have been going to yoga for years or never have experienced it at all! You will walk away with an awesome experience for your mind, body and soul.

In this episode we talk about:
-What is Ayurvedic Yoga Therapy?
-What led her down this path
-All the different ways in which she works with people
-Her top 2 tips that you can integrate immediately that will impact your health
