Yoga just doesn’t mean the poses, it can mean the breathing, the meditation, it can be devotion to your practice in general
— Emily Goodwin

Most people know what yoga is, and, if asked, might say that it is a stretchy, physical movement of the body that tones and strengthens muscles and keeps us fit. This understanding can be 100% accurate but there is something important missing from that perspective. I have discovered that at the very heart of yoga is self care. I stay with yoga because there is a whole self I discover and learn more about myself, my body, my breath and my emotional landscape.

In today’s episode, we are going to learn from our guest Emily Goodwin about the art of self care through yoga and redefine the benefits of yoga practice for self exploration , alignment and self care. Emily is a holistic occupational therapist, Reiki Master, and experienced yoga instructor including prenatal yoga. She is passionate about helping her clients achieve their greatest potential by using collaborative and integrative interventions.

Yoga just helps to create this feeling of wholeness
— Emily Goodwin
