In today's episode I chat with Yogi Bryan. Bryan is one of the yoga scene's biggest content creators.
To me he is truly one of a kind when it comes to making an impact and changing the world through yoga, meditation and spirituality... and I would say others agree since he has amassed over 500k followers on social media with this style...
In terms of his bio, Bryan's goal is to help the world release 100 billion f*cks. He is a Certified Hypnotherapist, Neuro Linguistic Programmer (NLP), and a Yoga Instructor. His Relax with Yogi Bryan Meditation podcast has over 2M plays and he has over 500k followers on social media.
Unfortunately part of our conversation was cut off due to technical difficulties, but in our conversation we get into why Bryan chooses to create content that includes cursing and his direct, down to earth approach, why meditation sometimes aren't enough by themselves for improving mental health, and how Bryan came to set the big goal of helping the world release 100 billion f*cks.
