Yeah, you read the title right. This is a true story that I had the pleasure of experiencing personally. This episode does a deep dive on my first heroic dose of psychedelics.

Another highly requested topic: all things yoga. So many of you submitted questions about yoga topics, that I thought: why not do a live reading Q & A style?I covered a wide variety of topics, everything from questions about my personal yoga journey, to broader opinion-based perspectives on differing styles of yoga. Trust me, we’ll definitely be revisiting this topic. And, I’ll turn some questions into entire episodes, because they deserve that kind of deep dive. For now, enjoy this juicy inside peek into the yoga portion of my brain.Connect with us on social media: IG: @thewalkhomepod, Facebook: The Walk Home PodcastFollow our host on Instagram: @kaylalanielsenEdited by: IG: @alaunarobyADS:Studio Dusa Code: KAYLA10 for 10% off in the month of August 2022Still Salty EscapeConnect with us on social media: IG: @thewalkhomepod, Facebook: The Walk Home Podcast Follow our host on Instagram: @kaylalanielsenProduced by: @alaunaroby
