A Conversation with Becky Pell
When yoga prompts the question:
Are you nourishing or numbing yourself?
In this episode, I share an everyday burnout conversation with the fabulous Becky Pell, a.k.a The Rock ‘n’ Roll Yogi.
Becky Pell is a sound engineer with 25 years of experience in the live music industry. She is regularly in charge of monitors at the world’s largest festival, Glastonbury as well having toured with Westlife, Take That, Il Divo, Muse, Kylie Minogue, Bill Wyman, James Brown, Jennifer Lopez, Sarah Brightman, Natalie Imbruglia, A-ha and Anastacia.
Originally from the UK, Becky now lives in Australia. As a qualified Yoga Therapist, she loves teaching yoga to the musicians and artists she travels with. Between tours, you can find Becky running yoga retreats around the world and she’s the author of the beautiful book Yoga Journey: a contemporary guide to a timeless tradition.
I’ve been following Becky on Instagram for a good few years now and I had so much fun chatting with her that it quickly became one of those conversations where I completely lost track that I was recording a podcast episode and I found myself diving into a good old heart-led chat to learn more and soak up all of Becky’s wisdom.
