A regular yoga practice fortified Bibi McGill‘s courage, stamina and devotion as internationally renowned lead guitarist and band leader for Beyonce. She has found great sustenance and healing in yoga, and her joy in teaching is making yoga accessible to anyone who seeks it.

Her down-to-earth, vibrant nature empowers students to claim their own authentic gifts as they deepen their relationship with themselves on the mat. Bibi leads classes and workshops around the world. Through her work with organizations like Street Yoga, Peace in Schools, Wolf Connection and her artist residency with Open Middle School, Bibi spreads the message of healing and wellness to youth. A rocker on a mission to help the world vibrate higher, Bibi has graced the covers of Yoga Journal, About Face, Edge Magazine and Om Times. When she’s not on the mat or stage, Bibi is often connecting with nature in her garden, on a kayak or in the forest with a cup of tea.

In this episode, we discussed: - Bibi’s journey from guitarist to yogi- Establishing boundaries and practicing your values- How yoga keeps us emotionally balanced- The importance of alone time as a spiritual discipline- Making time to be quiet, alone and in nature- Ditching dogma and creating your own rules
