The Nancy Stevens Lifestyle Show | Episode 61 | Joanna Konefal local yoga teacher

In this episode, Nancy is joined by local yoga teacher Joanna Konefal for an inspiring and deeply insightful conversation about wellbeing, mental health, and the true meaning of yoga beyond the physical poses. Joanna shares her personal journey into yoga, explaining how the practice evolved from simple movement into a powerful tool for self-awareness, emotional resilience, and inner connection. Together, Nancy and Joanna explore how yoga can help manage stress, improve mental health, and support long-term psychological wellbeing. The discussion also dives into “Yoga for Health,” an NHS-supported programme designed to make yoga more accessible, combining breathwork, education, and guided relaxation to support both mind and body. You’ll also hear practical advice, including simple breathing techniques you can try straight away to reduce stress and bring calm into your day. Plus, Joanna talks about organising the International Yoga Day event at Willen Lake North in Milton Keynes — a unique, free, community wellbeing experience featuring multiple classes, teachers, and holistic practices designed for all abilities. Whether you’re a complete beginner or a regular on the mat, this episode offers something for everyone — from practical tips to deeper reflections on how yoga can become a way of life. #Yoga #MentalHealth #Wellbeing #Mindfulness #MiltonKeynes #YogaForHealth #Breathwork #HolisticHealth #SelfCare #NewHorizonRadio #NancyStevens #Podcast #WellnessJourney #InternationalYogaDay
