Elena Brower on Her Yoga and Outreach Journey

The Balanced Being Podcast with Gunny Sodhi

In today’s episode of “The Balanced Being” podcast, I have Elena Brower who is a mother, teacher, artist, best-selling author, and the host of the “Practice you” podcast. She has been teaching yoga since 1999. Her first book “The Art of Attention” has been translated into seven languages and the second “Practice You” is a best-seller. She has recently launched her third book “Being You”. You can find her yoga and meditation classes on glow.com. You can also find her spoken word on above and beyond flow state albums.

I am thrilled to have her on and here is everything we talk about in this podcast:

The journey that got her started on this path and her connection to yoga.

How yoga was a turning point for Elena in steering away from negative aspects of her life.

What is the purpose of practicing yoga for the community - spirituality, reconnecting, or fitness.

Elena’s outreach programs include donating art, teaching benefit classes, girls on fire leaders focused on adolescent girls in Kenya.

Dealing with the ethical dilemma of being in the wellness industry and having a thriving business.

Her latest book is available to local bookshops, Bookshop.org, or bookshop.org/bookshelf/elenabrower. The proceeds from the book go to charity. You can also contribute to the Girls on Fire project: girlsonfireleaders.org. You can connect with Elena at instagram.com/elenabrower/ to find out more.

I hope you enjoy this episode. Thank you for listening.

Wishing you the best of health,

Gunny Sodhi
