In episode two, of season two, we meet with our first guest speaker of the season Casey Deschene.

Casey is the owner of Lighthouse Yoga in North Andover, MA, a new mama to her newly born son, and teacher of yoga.

In this conversation we dive into the parallel similarities between teaching a yoga class/teaching students in a yoga certification program and teaching youth in an educational school setting.

Stepping outside of the box, the importance of structure, elevating life skills, safety in self, safety in environment is just a small bit of what is talked about in this episode.
