I could not be more excited to announce this year’s Sponsored Yogis team! Without further ado…

Jena (Roseville, CA)

Justin (Folsom, CA)

Liz (Incline Village, CA)

Samantha (Washington, DC)

Ty (St. Louis Park, Minnesota)

Deborah (Asheville, NC)

These yogis have amazing stories to share and I am so honored to invite them to the Alive in the Fire team! Welcome, all!

Stay tuned for posts about:

Ayurveda
Yoga for athletes
Meditation
Yoga in nature
Men and yoga (looking at femininity and masculinity and gender roles in the yoga community)
Yoga, psychotherapy, and emotional healing

I’ll be posting profiles of the team members soon and I’m hopeful that a few other applicants will be contributing to Alive in the Fire as guest posters. A big thanks to all who applied – you guys are amazing. It was really challenging narrowing down the group this year, and I am so grateful for the chance to connect with all of you.

I also want to give a shout out and humble bow of gratitude to all of the incredible sponsors who have been sending donations along! I am super excited to share welcome packages with the sponsored yogis soon, and hear about how they enjoy trying new products and taking classes at various studios.

More soon… Namaste!
