Episode 4: Rebelling against perfection as moms-yogi entrepreneur & mama Chyla Walsh shares her story.
Episode Description
This week’s interviewee, Chyla Walsh, is a yoga teacher goddess, mama of a beautiful nine-month old baby girl, and creator of the Female Rebels Program designed to empower and inspire women from all walks of life. I don’t know if it was her Disney princess long curly red hair, or her illuminating smile and presence, but from the moment I stepped into Chyla’s yoga class, I knew she had something special. You could tell right away she definitely “walks her walk” and practices what she preaches. Yoga for her is more all-encompassing than simply the poses themselves, and she laces each class with rich life lessons and profound reflection.
Her students would agree wholeheartedly with me, Chyla holds a sacred space for women to bloom, without fear of judgment, competition, or scorn. She is fired up about bravely helping women step into their power and live on purpose and now as a new mommy, hopes to inspire other mom’s to do the same. She wants her daughter to know there is no obstacle too big, or dream too lofty, and that is what she hopes to remind our soul mammas listeners.
