In this thought-provoking Part 2 episode, Yogi Cecily returns to the Disrupt & Discuss Podcast for a deep dive into aging, wellness, and what it really means to live—and die—with intention.
From ancient African and Indian healing traditions to modern medicine's slow embrace of holistic practices, Yogi Cecily breaks down:
The mind-body connection and why it's not "woo-woo"
How early yogis approached healing through breath, movement, and meditation
The role of routine, awareness, and anatomy in self-care
How affirmations, visualization, and even sunlight can aid healing
The difference between aging and practicing for longevity and death with peace
✨ You’ll also hear powerful personal stories from Just E & KayCee about overcoming health scares through yoga, affirmations, and lifestyle change.
