#12 - Keen on Yoga Podcast with Alex Medin

Keen on Yoga Podcast

Alex runs a yoga retreat for those in recovery from drug and alcohol addition up in the Norwegian mountains, which is where he was when I interviewed him, so excuse any small sound blips. This is just another incarnation of what has been a most remarkable life, starting off as a national boxing champion in his teens he then became a professional ballet dancer, before finally discovering yoga and literally living in Mysore, India for many years, where he bought a house and completed a Masters in Sanskrit. Alex is both an advanced yoga asana practitioner, as well as a most knowledgeable yoga scholar. He was Certified in 2007 by Pattabhi Jois to teach the Ashtanga method.
