Episode 19: Kat Pither

Rebelling, Recovery and Finding Another Way

My guest this week is the wonderful Kat Pither, Founder at Yogi Bare.

In this episode, we discuss how Kat first found yoga when she was in rehab, and how that experience led her to build a warm and gracious yogi community that doesn’t require you to bend like a pretzel to join in. We talk about how Kat started Yogi Bare, how the business grew and how she learnt the hard way about building proper financial foundations. We talk about personal resilience, sustainable retail and having the courage to be vulnerable.
