Interview with Yogi Cameron
Jill V. Mangino: How did you make the leap from Supermodel to Mystic?
Yogi Cameron: I had a mentor who taught me all about organic health and spiritual living while I was in the fashion business. I was guided by him for 15 years as I worked as a model, left the fashion business, and pursued other endeavors as well. When he passed away I realized that mine was to be an inner journey from that point on. So once I decided that I needed to go on this other type of journey, it just came naturally.
