Episode Description
This week I’m talking to Lex Balladon.
Lex is a professional wakeboarder having been ranked in the top six female wake boarders in the UK for the duration of her competitive career, and was also crowned the Masters National Champion in 2017. She’s a BWSW (British Water Ski and Wakeboard) Level 3 Wakeboard Coach who coaches privately but has also worked with the BWSW, coaching the GB Squad on their Development Camp scheme. In this podcast Lex gives us a real insight into the world of wakeboarding and working with sponsors through social media, videos and photo shoots. I think you’ll be shocked at some of the obstacles Lex has faced in such a male centric sport….I was!
Lex is super passionate about getting more women into her sport. She’s a real advocate and for over a decade she has been coaching ladies and girls events around the country creating Wake Daze, which we’ll talk about during the podcast. It’s teaching yoga at one of those events that I first met Lex - we’ll hear how she believes yoga is integral to helping her stay fit and healthy in body and mind. As my first non yoga teacher guest (gasp!), I hope you’ll find it interesting to hear her perspective.

Ahimsa is one of the yoga Yamas and means non-violence towards all beings. The Ahimsa Choice Podcast lives at the intersection of wellness and sustainability. This podcast is made for women who want to live a life that is sustainable for both ourselves and the world around us. We cover every little detail of how to transition to a more non-violent, sustainable and wholesome life. I approach wellness and sustainability from both a personal and environmental angle, giving you the tools not only to get more out of life for yourself but also save the planet while doing so! My goal is to empower women to find peace through meditation and wellness practices and to lead the change to a slow, environmentally focused lifestyle. I'll chat with the women leading the wellness and sustainability movements from business owners to physicians to provide you with all the tools you need to live your most fulfilling, joyful life without leaving a footprint!
The Connected Yoga Teacher Podcast
Shannon Crow (she/her)
The Connected Yoga Teacher Podcast is a place where yoga teachers can tune in each week to learn, connect with community and gain inspiration. After a yoga teacher training it can feel like being left out in the wilderness for yoga teacher entrepreneurs. The business side of yoga is often not talked about as much as philosophy, anatomy and other topics covered in a yoga teacher training. This podcast addresses the questions and challenges that yoga teachers face. Hear interviews with yoga teachers and other professionals on a variety of topics.
