In developing her own style, she has enjoyed mixing poetry in English with the traditional Gurbani mantras that Master Teacher, Yogi Bhajan, shared with the yogis of the west.

With a thirst for travel and learning about different cultures, Charanpal leads retreats and workshops world-wide. She is honored to call Santa Cruz, CA, her home, where she resides in the redwoods with her two cats and four alpacas.

Season 1, Episode 84: Elsie Escobar – Yoga Coach, Female Voice Advocate & Podcast Host

Today’s guest is Elsie Escobar. Elsie was born in El Salvador and moved to the US with her family when she was 9 years old. As a child,  she loved all types of physical activities and would push herself as hard as she could; however she left athletics behind when she went to college and studied theater.

After getting her undergraduate degree, she was accepted to the National Theater Conservatory in Denver, and spent 3 years there, where she began to live an empowered life. It was there that Elsie started to find her real voice. She also found strength in her body again, as she was introduced to yoga. It helped to both soften and center her while providing her with the tools that she needed to focus.

After graduating from the National Theater Conservatory, Elsie pursued a career as a Hollywood actress, for a while before making her way back to Yoga. Her first ‘teacher’ Naime Jezzeny, introduced her to Anusara Yoga, which is the yoga that she continues to study and teach today.

And, adding a unique touch to her yoga stylings, Elsie also hosts a series of yoga podcasts, Elsie’s Yoga Class: Live and Unplugged.

Season 1, Episode 36: Melanie Elkin – Creator and Founder of Yoga’licious

Today’s guest is Melanie Elkin. Melanie is the creator and founder of Yoga’licious where she passionately supports women in re-creating a conversation around their bodies and themselves that is sustainable, uplifting, confidence building, satisfying, and makes them want to scream on the mountain tops “I am delicious”.

Melanie doesn’t do quick fixes or cookie cutter exercise and yoga routines but instead guides women to create something that honors them, their bodies, and everything else they do in their lives! When she found yoga in her own healing journey, she knew she had found a practice that brought her back to listening to her body and supported her in a radical self-confidence that wasn’t dependent on what she ate or how many chaturangas she did.

Melanie knows how important this message of body love is, and she is committed to bringing it to as many women as she possibly can.

To learn more you can find her at www.MelanieElkin.com.
