Welcome to Episode #42 of the Wild Yoga Tribe Podcast! This week, I welcome Eli Marušić onto the show, a yoga teacher from Croatia who teaches yoga at Studio One, in Split, one of Croatia's first and biggest yoga schools. My conversation with Eli Marušić was so inspiring as we took a close look at how to integrate yoga into our daily lives, how to develop not just habits, but a perspective as well for how to help you be in alignment with the present moment.

What to expect in the Yoga In Croatia episode of the Wild Yoga Tribe Podcast Eli and I began our conversation with learning how yoga first came into her life. She first encountered yoga through meditation, and then through books given to her by a friend. At this time, a few decades ago, there were no yoga studios in Croatia. She feels enormous gratitude that she first came to yoga through mediation as Eli says, “After all, yoga is a liberation path to the ultimate truth and to the Supreme. And so meditation is the crown of yoga.” We then shared our mutual gratitude and respect for Thich Nhat Hanh, which dovetailed into a conversation about finding a teacher wherever you look— whether that is your family, your friends, or a cat. Which then progressed into a conversation about how to integrate yoga in your daily life, touching on Ayurvedic practices and perspectives. We wrapped up the episode talking about Croatia and about what the yoga scene is like in Croatia now. Curious?
