In this episode of the Horrible People podcast, I speak with Mariam, a yoga and wellness instructor who integrates her love for nature, hunting, and outdoor education into her practice. We discuss Mariam's journey into hunting, her outdoor education retreats, the importance of breathwork, and the misconceptions surrounding yoga.

The conversation highlights the benefits of practicing yoga outdoors and the significance of survival skills in connecting with nature. In this engaging conversation, Mariam shares her insights on survival and foraging courses, daily wellness practices, and the realities of starting a wellness business. She emphasizes the importance of self-education in health and wellness, discusses her future aspirations, and recounts her experiences with fishing and hunting, including her first deer hunt. The discussion highlights the connection between nature, personal growth, and community involvement in outdoor activities.

“I interview people with "misunderstood" lifestyles so we can educate people on the truth.”
