Episode 141| Margo Lightburn on Being a Real Yoga Teacher

Margo Lightburn is a yoga teacher of 15 years and podcast host of The Lightburn. She’s taught at YogaPearl and the Nike World Headquarters and has since traveled and taught internationally for Nike and partners such as Smartwater & Lululemon. She has been featured on the OWN network’s “Super Soul Sunday” and on Oprah’s Sirius radio station.

 

With a focus on Vinyasa, Margo’s hope is to facilitate physical and spiritual breakthroughs for her students. You will always find an inspiring combination of music and literature for a “complete practice” not just the body but for the mind and heart as well.

 

I loved visiting with Margo and learning from her about finding yoga, what yogi parenting looks like in her life, challenging yourself with new experiences, and more.
