Cyndi Lee is one of the greatest yoga teachers on the planet. She's a teacher of mine, an inspiration, and I wouldn’t be where I am in my career as a yoga teacher without her. Was a blast (and honor!) to chat with her on this podcast. 

What we talk about:
  • Why women (and men) have negative body image and how we can start to shift that through Meditation 
  • Women changing Buddhism from the insight out 
  • The importance of daily meditation practice 
  • How you're basically good at your core (yes, you!) and how to access that 
  • How we can't help others before we really look at our own habitual suffering
  • Anger being a fuel for positive change 

Cyndi Is the founder of OM yoga, and is the first female Western yoga teacher to fully integrate yoga asana and Tibetan Buddhism in her practice and teaching. 

Her newest book is the The New York Times critically acclaimed May I Be Happy: A Memoir of Love, Yoga and Changing My Mind. Her frequent TV appearances include the Dr. Oz Show; Live with Regis and Kathie Lee; Good Morning, America and she has a cameo in Cyndi Lauper’s Girls Just Want to Have Fun video, which she choreographed in 1983. Cyndi holds a MFA in Dance from UC Irvine and is a long time student of Gelek Rimpoche.

To find Cyndi and her many wonderful offerings and trainings go here.

*Don't forget about our Book-giveaway! If you leave a review on Itunes for the show between now and Next Wed (1 week!) till the 25th, You'll be entered to win Cyndi's Book, "May I be Happy".

what a lovely podcast. It was a really power idea to think that resolutions can be shifted so that they can be acts of self care and love.
