Mindful movement is very healing for the body, mind, and soul.
Yoga has been in my life for about 2 decades. Although truth be told, for a large part of this time I wasn’t actively practicing it because I just didn’t ‘feel it’.
In my more than two-year recovery process after my rock-climbing accident, I was doing quite a lot of ‘hot yoga’ and it was really helpful (besides all the other ankle exercises that I was doing) in getting back the flexibility and mobility of my ankle. Then we lost touch again.
But in the last 2 years, I found my way back to the mat and started connecting with my body differently. It gently guides me to be more mindful and more present, which is so important for any kind of healing.
Yoga is very often advised as a gentle form of exercise post-injury. But with all the different forms of yoga available to choose from, how do you know what will work best for your situation?
In this episode, I sit down with Carina Raisman, yoga therapist and the founder of Re:Source Yoga Therapy, who switched from health sciences to becoming a yoga teacher, and now approaches it in a therapeutic way.
We dove into this topic of healing with the help of yoga, using it for therapy based on each individual’s needs, but also so much more about our conditioned responses to stress, our ability to adapt, and how to support all the interconnected internal systems of the body with a holistic approach.
