The Lightburn with Margo Kellison Lightburn
Summary: The Lightburn is a podcast about living a real life through a yoga lens. Host Margo Lightburn and guests from all walks of life talk about the influence of yoga in their everyday life. When we look at life through a yoga lens it helps us find the unity, the compassion, the forgiveness, the flow, the light. And when we can find the light it takes the sting out of the burn and turns that flame into strength. Margo has been teaching yoga and capturing the hearts of students since 2003. She grew up in Los Angeles and attended Crossroads School for Arts and Sciences, and later graduated as a theater major from Columbia College Chicago. Margo's passion as a teacher has always been to make the "non believer" a "believer" not just in yoga, in themselves. Women's health, happiness, strength and empowerment is the nucleus of her message through everyday mindfulness and self awareness. She sets her classes to music to motivate and inspire. You leave feeling challenged and changed physically, mentally and emotionally. As an experienced teacher of 14 years she is a mentor to many and integrated deeply in the yoga community. So if you're new to yoga or a long time practitioner Margo meets and inspires you where you are, she draws you in with compassion and sense of humor. Warning: She is known to bust into song at any moment. She has traveled and taught to yogis by the hundreds for Oprah, Smartwater, Lululemon, KIND BAR and is currently teaching and consulting for Nike at the world headquarters in Portland OR where she now lives. She is an innovator and pioneer in new platforms of yoga and fitness and works hard everyday to connect people to yoga and more importantly to themselves. She does this because she knows and believes that yoga IS for everyone, and for every BODY.
