Celebrating Sally Kempton’s Life of Devotion and Radical Love

This is where the subhead goes where we talk about how you need to do your research and two other things

Sally Kempton portrait

As many of yoga know, Sally Kempton was hugely influential to me. She was an expert guide, a loving presence, and a creative inspiration.

Sally passed away on July 10th and has been on my mind constantly since then. I put together this episode to honor and remember her with my friend, the former editor-in-chief of Yoga Journal, Kaitlin Quistgaard. We had a lot of fun sharing stories and memories of Sally.

The second part of this episode features my favorite episode that I did with Sally a few years ago: The Good, The Bad, & The Ugly of the Ego.

I hope you enjoy it. If you have any stories about Sally that you’d like to share, send me a voice note! You can DM it to me on Instagram (@andreaferretti) or email it to me at [email protected]. You can also read an essay I wrote about Sally and her reminder to Grow Your Heart Bigger.
