Ever wondered how to align your passion for yoga with your need to earn a living—without guilt?
Kalina shares her powerful journey from the corporate world in Poland to becoming a yoga teacher and business mentor in Bali. After burning out in a high-stress job, she turned to yoga for relief, only to discover a deeper calling. Now, she helps yoga teachers break through limiting beliefs—especially around money, self-worth, and entrepreneurship.
In this episode, Kalina dives into the emotional and practical blocks many yoga teachers face when transitioning into the business side of teaching. She challenges the belief that yoga and business can't coexist, offering simple mindset shifts and tools like journaling, tapping (EFT), and inner inquiry to explore one’s relationship with money.
Kalina emphasizes the importance of intention: knowing your “why” not just in your teaching, but in how and why you charge for your work. She encourages yoga teachers to evaluate their pricing, move through fear of rejection, and step into the reality that it’s okay to charge—and charge well—for your time and transformation.
Whether you're a new teacher or already navigating your yoga business, this episode will help you shift from doubt to clarity, from scarcity to sustainability.

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage
Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration. The stories we tell are about the heroes who have distinguished themselves by acts of heroism and courage that have saved lives. From Judith Resnik, the second woman in space, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice, these are stories about those who have done the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the name of something much bigger than themselves. Every Wednesday on Medal of Honor, uncover what their experiences tell us about the nature of sacrifice, why people put their lives in danger for others, and what happens after you’ve become a hero. Special thanks to series creator Dan McGinn, to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and Adam Plumpton. Medal of Honor begins on May 28.
