Andrea Marcum

This week on the Spiritual Spiral Podcast, I am super excited to welcome Andrea Marcum to the show. Andrea is an author, musician and yoga teacher based in L.A. where she teaches at Yoga Works West Hollywood and on Montana Avenue. She teaches online classes at Udaya.com and also leads teacher trainings, workshops and retreats all around the world. I discovered Andrea about seven months ago after a friend of mine posted a photo on Instagram of her new book. The book is called Close to Om and while it certainly focuses on yoga, it's about how we can all slow down, take a breath and learn how to live a fuller, deeper and more meaningful life. We discuss Andrea's musical background and ultimately what led her down the path of yoga. We talk about her passion for yoga, what inspired her to write a book and we talk about this idea of "stopping before you can start." We discuss the creative process, the yoga culture in Los Angeles and we even talk about Joni Mitchell and social media. Definitely check out Andrea on Instagram and buy her book on Amazon. You can support my show by visiting my Patreon page and as always, thanks so much for listening.
