Welcome back to the Wild Yoga Tribe podcast, dear listeners! We're thrilled to be back from our break, celebrating our 100th episode and now diving into episode 101 with the incredible Anilda Nocka, a trailblazing yoga teacher from the beautiful country of Albania.
So…. Welcome to Episode #101 of the Wild Yoga Tribe Podcast! My conversation with Anilda Nocka, a yoga teacher from Albania, was so powerful as we really took a deep dive into yoga in Albania and into what Baptiste Power Yoga is, how she studied with Baron Baptiste, as well as how she's been a community driven changemaker in Albania, bringing yoga there and what that has done for her community.
So I hope this conversation has given you some things to reflect on about what yoga can do for a community, what yoga can do for you, and also how yoga can be a best friend to you or a way, a method, a tool, a space, a practice to hold you through hard things. So if you're looking to tune into a podcast episode that is all about yoga in Albania, then this is the conversation for you.
