Being Yoga Podcast
Episode 5 - Julie Smerdon
The Power of Yoga, Community and Sankalpa

Julie Smerdon is an international yoga teacher, writer and storyteller who has studied and taught yoga in the US and Australia for over 20 years.  She is the founder of Shri Yoga, one of Brisbane's most popular yoga yoga centres.
 
In this Podcast we talk about the power of community and how yoga studios can support their students to come together, connect and feel bonded by a common goal.  We discuss Anusara Yoga and it's core underlying philosophy of seeing the good in others, which changed Julie's life for the better.  

Julie talks about Sankalpa and why having clear intentions in life is everything.  She mentions her on again off again relationship with the practice of meditation and that it was in meeting Lorin Roche and the Radiance Sutras that everything changed for her.   
 
We also discuss men and sportspeople in yoga and Julie's work with the Australian cricket team.
