The Funny Thing About Yoga

Water Cooler Moment with Margo Lightburn:

We Literally Talk About Everything

Episode No. 6

Margo Lightburn joins Giana and Bradshaw on the podcast this week and they honestly talk about everything. Margo shares so much wisdom from her years of teaching and being in the business in a way that is honest, personal, and captivating. From revealing a recent diagnosis to assessing her career path and goals, we quickly learn Margo is so much more than yoga and yet we talk about It all: how to conserve your energy, the process of de-idolizing your teachers and advancing your knowledge, sharing your inspiration, the commercialization of yoga and the over saturation of the field, feeling like a satellite and finding community, agism, music, and so much more. We need to have Margo back because we could have gone on forever and you’ll understand exactly why. It’s so easy to fall in love with Margo, so give this episode a listen and let us know what you think!
