Today's episode is the second in our California correspondence with Erika Pahk. Erika has graced me with her presence in classes training and retreats over the past handful of years. This summer, she’s working in L.A., where she’s agreed to check in as our summer west-coast correspondent. In our first installment, we got to hear a little about Erika’s new home. In this episode we get real about facing challenges, whether they're dramatic or conversely, there's nothing going on. And we talk about philosophy, as we always do.
Erika grew up in the wilds of Los Angeles and has been a yoga person since childhood. She first encountered the Ishta lineage in 2008 at a craft school in North Carolina, with my good friend, teacher Kate Shroeder, and became an Ishta practitioner the week she moved to NY in 2011. 
Erika is an Ishta-trained 200 hour yoga instructor with many additional specialty certifications, and she received her first Reiki attunement in 2018. She also has a BFA from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago.
Some of you already know Erika, and I’m glad to introduce the rest of you as we get her observations and insights this summer.

Podcasts stay afloat as labors of love. But they also need to pay the bills. Some do this through random ads. Others can get by by being infomercials for whatever’s being talked about on the podcast. I’m hoping to support Peter’s Podcast much like a pay-what-you-will yoga class. There’s no box at the door here, so instead I’m using the digital equivalent. That’s why I am asking you to please support Peter’s Podcast on Patreon.com. Instead of a box, there’s a link. It’s easy, it’s flexible if you want to vary your support, and most of all, it keeps this podcast going. And thank you to everyone who is already a Patreon Patron!
