Alex McRobs, known as Sober Yoga Girl, is a former party girl turned international yoga teacher and sober lifestyle coach. Originally from Canada, Alex spent her twenties partying in Dubai, the land of bottomless brunch and unlimited drinks. Alex now supports other women in finding spirituality and sobriety through Sober Girls Yoga - which is part of The Mindful Life Practice, an international online yoga community she founded. In this podcast Alex will offer weekly episodes with insight into her life and journey, including stories, strategies, and sometimes with special guests. Dive into topics such as triggers around alcohol, yoga philosophy, speaking to family and friends and mental health. You’re not alone - and in being her open, authentic self, Alex helps others find and feel that.

Decolonizing Yoga with Susanna Barkataki
It was SO COOL to have Susanna Barkataki on the podcast! I have followed Susanna for years and really admire her work. Susanna focuses on decolonizing yoga, and inclusivity in yoga. She authored the book "Embrace Yoga's Roots" which I recommend to all of my 200-Hour YTT students. In this episode, we discuss cultural appropriation versus cultural appreciation and the work that students of yoga and teachers of yoga can do to uplift, inspire, and educate each other on this important subject.
If you're listening to this episode and want to learn more about Susanna's work, check out her website: https://www.susannabarkataki.com/.
