#14 Steph Paolini

"What you're trying to do is find a little bit of space between emotion, the knee jerk reaction within you, and the action. And the bigger space that we can create between the two, the better we act." In today's episode with Steph Paolini, we talk about her journey of becoming a yoga studio owner. She was previously an analytical math teacher who only did teacher training because she wanted to go deeper into the practice, literally starting every journal entry during that time with, "I will never teach a yoga class, but if I did..." From that experience we get into the importance of continued growth while giving yourself the time to figure out who you are and what makes you happy. Naturally we discuss how yoga can be an incredible tool for this as it helps to create the space necessary for change. We talk about how it allows us to converse deeper and take control over what is going on inside our body. It's this connection that helps us understand that everyone is doing the best they can with what they have. We are in this together. Steph is the the owner of 3 Bridges Yoga, a vinyasa based practice that also offers kundalini, hatha, and restorative practices for people of all skill levels. She offers yearly teacher training and has brought over 100 new teachers to the seacoast through her offerings. Steph talks about how creating community is actually the number one goal of 3BY and another way she does this is by bringing people on retreat. The benefits of taking intentional time for yourself and to connect to others cannot be understated. By offering both an international option, that she does with another yogi, Sarah Oleson, and a local option that she does at Alnoba, a truly breathtaking piece of property, she makes it accessible for everyone to be able to unplug and heal.
