Tamal Dodge

I am thrilled to welcome the owner and founder of Yoga Salt LA and Yoga Salt Wilmington, Tamal Dodge to The Spiritual Spiral Podcast. Tamal grew up living in an ashram in Hawaii and it was here where he learned firsthand from his father about yoga, the physical asanas, the history of the practice and the value of living a deeply spiritual life. The moment you step into one of Tamal's classes, you instantly sense a man who is passionate about sharing his love for meditation and yoga with his students. He has been teaching yoga ever since childhood and currently owns Yoga Salt in Culver City as well as Yoga Salt in Wilmington, North Carolina. He co-owns a jiu jitsu studio and he also recently wrote a cook book with his wife called The Yoga Plate which hits bookstores nationwide on September 24th. He and I talk about his new book and the process involved in coming up with over one hundred different recipes. He shares personal stories and perspectives about yoga philosophy, the importance his father played on his life and this idea of dying with dignity and grace. We talk about social media, the value of living a spiritual life as well as what it was like growing up in an ashram. He also tells us how and why he opened up two yoga studios and he ends our conversation by singing a song. You can follow Tamal on Instagram @tamaldodge and be sure to buy his book when it hits shelves on September 24th.
