Podcast Ep 114: Yoga Expert Kathryn Budig

It’s not every day that someone brings up Greek mythology during a podcast interview, but Kathryn Budig is not your average yogi. With Artemis —  Olympian goddess of the hunt — as the inspiration for her “Aim True” motto, the yoga teacher, author, and animal lover seeks to help everyone find joy in whatever form of movement they use.

While you could once find her teaching yoga in California, where she trained at Yogaworks under the tutelage of her mentors, Maty Ezraty and Chuck Miller, she’s now living a somewhat quieter life in South Carolina, teaching online classes at Yogaglo, designing exclusive yoga gear for designer KiraGrace, and co-hosting the Free Cookies podcast with her wife, Kate Fagan. And, you can still catch her teaching at live events all around the world — good to know with International Yoga Day right around the corner, right?

Her recent article in Bon Appetit revealed the extreme lengths some people go through to achieve the “perfect yoga body,” and it’s an approach to health (or, shall we say, “health”) she wants to quash now. Kathryn is all about embracing your body (or “meat suit” as she refers to hers) in all of its unique glory. And if you have a body part that is giving you some concern — well, why not name it and find the humor in the so-called imperfection? (She has the best pet name for her lower belly. Just you wait.)
