Hey everyone. I'm Andrea Ferretti and this is Yoga Land. Today my guest is Brett Larkin. In all likelihood you are familiar with

Brett Larkin because she has a huge online presence.

She has over 500,000 YouTube followers.

She's been online for more than a decade.

And she's been teaching yoga teacher training

for more than a decade as well. In fact she loves to tell the story

about her students asking her to create a yoga teacher training online and it was so long ago

that yoga alliance did not yet accredit the training and she said,

oh, I'm not allowed to. But they encouraged her and she did. So she was very, very early on in the space.

I will say you can look at Brett and say to yourself, oh my gosh, she is just a pretty,

petite, young blonde woman. It must have all been so easy for her. You can kind of have

that preconceived notion and if you have that preconceived notion I really

encourage you to listen to this interview because she is

hands down one of the hardest working people I have ever spoken to on the podcast and

she's really bright and knows her stuff. I've listened to her

podcast and before I prepared for this one and she studied for a long time with Alan Finger

she knows what she's doing. So I think that it's really helpful to listen to people who have, you know, achieved this quote-unquote amount of of yoga fame to hear how hard and uncertain it was in the beginning and one of the things that she's very honest about is that she kept her job as a game developer for a very long time as she was developing her online teaching business.

She was definitely working two full jobs at the same time while

mothering, might I add? So it's just it's really encouraging and a good look behind the curtain to see that no one's

path is straight and certain and in all likelihood everybody works hard, right?

So I think you'll enjoy that aspect of her.

She's very down to earth, too.
