Bikram, Versace, Paris and a Damp Cat

This week I’m joined by my friend @simon_phelan to talk all things 90s pop culture, travel, training and Yogaland in the 2000s. Simon graduated from the Yoga College of India in July 2009, in Palm Springs California. Since then he has taught and practised in Los Angeles, New York City, Paris, Sydney and Rishikesh. He also worked as a guest teacher in Bali and studios around Melbourne and now Bendigo, which is where he has a yoga studio and Ayurvedic massage therapy business. I’m also introducing Simon to Yogi Cameron, who I met in 2017, and his book ‘The Yogi Code’. Give Simon a follow and enjoy this fun episode!Here are my links:Business coaching: www.amymcdonald.com.au/coachingCalendar to talk about coaching: https://scheduler.zoom.us/amymcdonald/coachingPatreon: www.patreon.com/AmyMcDonaldReferences:Alborzian, Cameron (2017) The Yogi Code: Seven Universal Laws of Infinite Success, Simon and Schuster, New YorkHot or Not?
