Send us Fan MailIn this episode I talk about how being inflexible nearly stopped me from doing my teacher training, how I turned it into a gift and how it should never be a barrier to anyone in their practice. I also talk about my recent hip/back problem and diagnosis, and share my top tips on how to mentally, emotionally AND physically navigate periods of injury and recovery in your physical asana practice.I reference one of my wonderful teachers: Katja Patel in this episode, she is a fantastic teacher who really lives a yogic life.
