Meet MaKenzie:
MaKenzie Fly is a Las Vegas showgirl turned podcast host, international retreat leader, and yoga teacher mentor . Yoga found her when she was only 15 years old and helped her overcome overwhelming anxiety and crippling panic attacks due to a very painful and public scandal that nearly tore her family apart. She often says yoga ruined her life, and then saved her life. MaKenzie loves teaching yoga, but she really loves teaching other people how to teach yoga and has been for the last twelve years. She’s currently fascinated with figuring out what it means to flourish as a yogipreneur and interested in helping other like-minded yoga teachers expand their offers outside the studio. She’s a sagittarius straight shooter, prefers coffee over tea, cats over dogs, and baths over showers. Her greatest wealth is the relationship she has with her husband of seven years, and her luckiest blessing is her baby boy, Finnian, who was born recently 11/11/2023. Praise God!
