Welcome to Episode #23 of the Wild Yoga Tribe Podcast! This week, I welcome Shannon Crow onto the show. She is a yoga teacher from Canada. My conversation with Shannon Crow was so informative as we took a deep dive into the world of pelvic health—understanding how it works, what tension we carry there, and about the root chakra.

We talked about yoga in Canada being vast, but now the yoga scene in Canada is now looking to recenter and to really understand the roots of yoga with more education and ethical awareness.

We also talked about the niche work and why it's important for yoga teachers to find their specialities, and also what that looked like for Shannon.If you’re looking to tune into a podcast episode all about pelvic health—the science and magic of the human body, then this is the conversation for you.

Shannon Crow is such a phenomenal resource. As a yoga teacher, yoga podcaster, and yoga entrepreneur, I feel like I could have talked to Shannon crow for hours and hours. The focus of our episode was on Shannon’s two professional pillars— pelvic health and niche work for yoga teachers.
