Alexandra McRobert, known as Sober Yoga Girl, is a former party girl turned international yoga teacher and sober lifestyle coach.

In this podcast Alex will offer weekly episodes with insight into her life and journey, including stories, strategies, and sometimes with special guests. Dive into topics such as triggers around alcohol, yoga philosophy, speaking to family and friends and mental health. You’re not alone - and in being her open, authentic self, Alex helps others find and feel that.
