How does a yoga journey unfold when one decides to step into it wholeheartedly?

What role does self-discovery play in the transformation of a yoga teacher’s path?

How can motherhood and yoga coexist in a fulfilling and balanced way?

In this deeply personal episode of The Spirit of Yoga, Burkhard interviews Arlene Lucassen, a remarkable yoga teacher and Akasha Yoga Academy graduate, about her transformative journey from burnout to self-realization. Arlene shares how yoga became her foundation for growth, both as a teacher and a mother. From discovering yoga in her teenage years to overcoming personal struggles and embracing the challenges of motherhood, Arlene’s story is one of resilience, transformation, and embracing a path that feels true to oneself.

Join us as Arlene discusses the importance of trusting your own journey, the challenges of balancing motherhood with teaching yoga, and how yoga can provide the tools for deep self-acceptance and purpose. This conversation will inspire those who are ready to go all in, step into their purpose, and follow their hearts on the yoga teacher training path.

Tune in to hear her powerful story of growth, transformation, and finding balance in life’s many roles.
