Kara Seymour on Owning a Kundalini Yoga Studio & Following Your Gut

This week on the podcast I am joined by Kara Seymour from Liv Kundalini, who is joining me all the way from Portland, Maine. She is a yoga teacher, a studio owner and a mother. Kara started practicing yoga as a single mom, and after falling in love with the practice she decided to become a yoga teacher. Throughout Kara's journey, she's followed the "winks" from the universe that she's received, which has inspired her to open not one, but two yoga studios. Kara shares what it's been like opening a kundalini yoga studio in a state where there isn't much kundalini yoga practiced, what she's learned through the process, advice for new yoga teachers and more.

Enjoy!
