What if the path to deeper self-awareness and healing wasn’t in doing more, but in slowing down?
Cassanie Mckenzie is a yoga teacher, wellness coach, sound healer and my dear friend based in Jamaica. In this episode, we explore Cassanie's journey from discovering yoga in her "party girl phase" to becoming a renowned teacher who integrates movement, sound, and spiritual practices into her offerings.
Cassanie shares how her personal evolution led her from intense cardio workouts to a deeper connection with her body, mind, and spirit through yoga and wellness - because movement is not about weight loss. They we chat into the importance of nourishing practices, the role of the womb as a creative and energetic center, and how retreats and cleanses can transform lives.
