Walking the Path of Yoga and Soulpreneurship with Hilary Atalina

Ep. 12: Today, I am sitting down with yoga teacher and teacher trainer Hilary Atalina for an illuminating and expansive conversation on the true path of yoga. Yoga has been a cornerstone personally for me on my spiritual path, the first true pathway I experienced to embodiment and emotional healing. It is such a joy to connect with Hilary today, as we explore how yoga evolves from a physical practice into a lifelong journey of self-inquiry, presence, and purpose. Hilary shares her powerful story of leaving behind an unaligned corporate life, traveling through Central and South America, and ultimately finding her way to teaching and leading yoga teacher trainings.Our conversation weaves through themes of transformation, grief, embodiment, leadership, and the courage to follow your inner calling. We'll dive into the modern yoga landscape, the importance of integration, and what it really means to “live your yoga.”In this episode, we explore: Hilary’s journey from corporate life to yoga teacher and trainer  How travel and immersion in nature can catalyze deep personal transformation  The role of grief, caregiving, and life transitions in awakening purpose  Yoga as a path of presence, emotional awareness, and inner stillness  The difference between modern yoga culture and traditional yogic teachings Why yoga is ultimately a training of the mind, not just the body  Why asana (the physical practice) is just the first doorway into deeper inner work  How confidence and leadership are developed through teaching yoga  The importance of being a lifelong student on the path of yoga  How Hilary built her yoga school during the uncertainty of COVID  What truly happens inside a yoga teacher training (beyond the surface)  Why integration is the missing piece in many healing and growth modalities  The role of curiosity as a foundation for empowerment and transformation  How to know if you’re ready to take a yoga teacher training  The power of community and shared experience in transformational containers  Peru as a portal for healing, awakening, and connection to ancient wisdom If you are interested in joining us in Peru this October for an immersion into the art and practice of teaching yoga, you can learn more here:https://rewildsoul.com/yoga-training-peru/https://www.hillaryatalina.com/empower-200-hour-yoga-teacher-training
