A Little More Good

This was one of our FAVOURITE convos of all time so we just had to reshare it with you. If you aren't already a super fan of best-selling author Christopher McDougall you will be after this episode. Chris brought all kinds of passion, energy, enthusiasm and curiosity into the conversation. Which, we're pretty sure is just how he exists on this planet. He is truly an inspiration in the way he looks at the world, allows his curiosity to lead him, and his desire to unearth the untold and yet beautiful stories no one else is looking for.

We have both been deeply inspired by Christopher's work, specifically his book "Born to run" had a tremendous impact on us as runners, would be adventurers, and lovers of great stories... If you have yet to check it out, be sure to grab a copy and give it a read, you WILL NOT be disappointed!

I left a brief description of the book below, to whet your appetite!

But we KNOW you are going to be inspired by Christopher, and this conversation!

Ally she is a writer, entrepreneur, founder of Girlvana Yoga, renowned yoga teacher herself and just an all around incredible human we are so excited to know and learn from. And it is an extra exciting day as Ally just announced the launch of her own podcast “The Ally Maz Show” that will release next Wednesday, January 17th! Her new podcast will dive into all things spirituality, growth and wellness in hopes to inspire and expand you as you continue to choose a life that is authentically yours. And we just know it will be your new go to podcast. It’s already top of our list!

In this episode we go in so many amazing directions including what you can expect from Ally’s new podcast, her connection with Mary Magdalene and her trip to France to discover more, the role spirituality plays in Ally’s life, being a seeker, the power of different healing modalities, how Ally found her authentic self through yoga and SO much more goodness!

We are very excited to share this conversation with two AMAZING humans. We sat down and chatted with Ashtanga Yoga Teacher and friend of the pod, Tiaga Prem and legendary spiritual teacher, leader, mentor and musician Guru Singh.

This conversation was truly inspirational as we talked about Guru Singh's journey from the San Francisco bay area, to sharing the stage with some world class artists and musicians, to a transformative journey into the majestic copper canyons of Chihuahua Mexico. Through sharing his incredible stories we followed the spirit of the conversation and explored themes like, rites of passage, the loss of meaningful transitions into community, the disaster of out current state of "normal" and how striving to mute ourselves for the sake of fitting in is the worst possible thing we could do.

Guru Singh and Tiaga Prem bring a double dose of humility and wisdom, levity and depth as we journey through this enlightening conversation.

We are so grateful for their wisdom, and guidance, and we are honoured to share this episode with you all.
