06: From Monastery to Modern Life: Rich Ray’s Journey of Yoga, Meditation, and Love

Today, I am delighted to have Rich Ray, my partner of 11 years, joining me as a guest on the podcast.

Rich and I had our first proper conversation at a yoga party, even though we had known each other for several years through the yoga community. Rich shared that he had spent four years living in a monastery about a decade earlier. That piqued my interest and made me want to know him better.

Stay tuned to hear his fascinating story and learn about the benefits of yoga and meditation.
