Yoga is much more than a physical practice; it’s a crucial act of self-preservation in a society that often glorifies the grind over genuine well-being. Danielle shares her own transformative experiences with yoga, highlighting it as a sanctuary from stress and a life not solely focused on survival. Saisha, with her insightful approach, warns against the pitfalls of engaging in self-care simply because it’s trendy. She encourages listeners to find personal meaning in their practices. Together, they discuss how yoga isn't about maintaining a pose for time, but rather about mindfulness, personalized care, and letting go of the ego and time constraints that often block our paths to self-care. This episode is about breaking down barriers, fostering self-motivation, and embracing yoga as a powerful tool for self-care through embodying mantras, utilizing breathwork, and allowing oneself to fully experience and process emotions. Join us as we unravel these rich insights and remind you, our listeners, to pour from a full cup.
