About Deborah

I’d like to express my deepest gratitude to you for supporting Yoga Peeps with your love, energy and donations.  Your listening and feedback means the world to me.  You are all up to wonderful things simply by practicing yoga, and I am honored to be a part of your journey.

I am reaching out to you, because my goal is to continue my work with Yoga Peeps. Presently, I am caring for my 2 year old son, Luca, as a stay at home mom.  Many of you have heard him in the background of the interviews.  I began this Yoga Peeps podcast just before becoming pregnant with him.  Sadly, there is a chance that the interviews you download from Yoga Peeps will end, as I have been unable to financially support myself from this work.

I invite you to consider how much Yoga Peeps has enhanced your yoga journey.  Are you, like me, incredibly inspired and educated through the stories you hear?  Has your life, like mine, been positively changed as a result of these podcasts?  Are you a better instructor or practitioner as a result of these interviews?

If so, my request, is that you make a donation to show your support.  Consider giving $5 a month, $25 annually, or simply paying $1 for every interview you have listened to.  The truth is, without your financial contributions, I simply can not continue to offer these interviews.

It takes me 10-15 hours from the first email inviting someone to an interview, to the final interview editing and online for you to listen to.

Know that your donation will allow me to balance both nurturing my son, while continuing to produce meaningful work that is life changing, both for myself and potentially, for you.

Please go to YogaPeeps.com and make your donation today.  Just click on the “Make a Donation” button on the right hand side of the page– it’s very easy.  Share the over 70 Yoga peeps interviews with your friends, and our circumstances will be quickly transformed.

Deepest gratitude for listening, for your financial contribution, and for supporting the yoga community.  May your gift  to us, be returned to you infinitely.

Namaste.
