Ep 1: Yoga for the Stressed and Obsessed - Not Your Grandma's Yoga (Insights)

What if everything you’ve been told about yoga… is only part of the story?

In this kickoff episode, I share the messy, real-life story behind this podcast—and why I almost gave up on yoga myself. Spoiler: it wasn’t the poses that changed my life. It was learning how to use movement and mindset together to stop reacting and start leading with clarity.

This isn’t the kind of yoga you find on Instagram. It’s not about flexibility, incense, or slowing down until you feel stuck. It’s about using simple, strategic movement to clear mental noise, shift your nervous system, and show up as the leader you actually want to be.

If you're someone who’s exhausted from being “on” all the time—this podcast is for you.

You’ll get a mix of:

• Short, science-backed solo episodes on stress, burnout, and leadership energy
• Movement-based episodes you can follow with your eyes closed (because yoga is an internal practice, not a performance)
• Personal stories from my life in tech, running a yoga studio, and learning how to stop white-knuckling through life

 This isn’t your grandma’s yoga. It’s movement and mindset for people who are moving fast—and want to keep doing so without burning out along the way.

Please remember to move within your own range and skip or modify anything that doesn’t feel right in your body today. This podcast is for informational purposes only and not a substitute for medical advice or personalized instruction.
