Collecting wisdom is a space where you’ll find intimate conversations on life, yoga, philosophy, ancient and modern healing traditions, and what it’s like to live on purpose from those that I’ve personally met & have collected wisdom from in my own life.
I’m Marissa, your host and I’m honored to be on this journey with you. As a yoga teacher & founder of The Well Studio, Human Design Reader, Holistic Life Coach, and Meditation Teacher, I'm here to support the development of your soul’s innate knowing as you journey on the path to uncovering your own potential.
On today’s episode, I get to talk with one of my mentors from this past year, Elena Brower. Our conversation will take you on an enlightening journey of holding space for others as yoga teachers, growing beyond our edges, deepening our meditation practice, evolving into who we're meant to become both on and off of the mat, and so much more.
Elena Brower is a mother, mentor, poet, artist, volunteer, bestselling author and host of the Practice You Podcast, Elena Brower has taught yoga and meditation since 1999.
