Description

Today I sat down with Kimia Hajian for a behind the scenes look into her recent move to Portugal and fulfilling a lifelong dream, her content creation journey, the reality of being a yoga teacher, her experience with body image and learning to appreciate yoga off the mat. I adore Kimi’s energy and this little coffee/tea chat and I hope you enjoy it as well!!
