106: Aimee Echo: The Responsibility of Teaching Yoga with Integrity

from Full-Time Yoga Teacher · host reika_alexi

In this episode, Reika sits down with Aimee Echo, a yoga teacher and educator devoted to preserving the integrity of classical Yoga while making its tools accessible to modern practitioners. Aimee is the owner of Community Yoga Club, home of Ashtanga Yoga Long Beach, where she leads a daily Mysore-style program and offers Individual Yoga Therapy.Together, they explore what it means to remain a lifelong student of yoga, the humility required to stay in relationship with the practice, and why believing you’re “done” often marks the moment growth stops. Aimee reflects on her decades of study in the Krishnamacharya lineage, her experience weaving together Ashtanga and Yoga Therapy, and her perspective on holding tradition with care while meeting students where they are. This conversation speaks to the responsibility of teaching yoga in a way that is both deeply rooted and profoundly human.Connect with Aimee Echo:Website: https://www.aylb.org/Reika's Nicaragua Yoga Retreat:Find out moreConnect with Reika:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join the online yoga studio for $20 for two weeks!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join Reika's Newsletter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠
