Hello Yogaland!
On this episode I talk to Kathryn Budig. Kathryn (@kathrynbudig) is an internationally celebrated yoga teacher and she’s just come out with her second book, Aim True: Love Your Body Eat Without Fear Nourish Your Spirit and Discover True Balance.
I’ve known Kathryn for about a decade and she’s the real deal — a gem in the yoga world. She’s hard-working, deeply knowledgeable, an adept practitioner, a compassionate teacher, and a creative, funny soul. In the course of our talk she shared:
- The story behind her “Aim True” message
- The surprising pose that was out reach for her when she started practicing
- Thoughts on body dysmorphia and creating healthier body image within the yoga community
- The importance of honing your craft instead of focusing on popularity
- Her favorite and least favorite yoga poses
- How she came up with the term “meat suit”
And many more interesting tidbits. I hope you enjoy it.
“I get comments like, ‘Oh it’s so great to see you be so comfortable with your body.’ I’m a size 4. If my size 4 body is viewed as something that isn’t tiny in the yoga world, we’re doing something severely wrong.” — Kathryn Budig
