Human-Centered Health Ep. 17: Rebecca Sparks
Rebecca Sparks is a Director and Instructor at Nashville Yoga Company. She has been a yoga instructor and guide for 8 years, and helps people of all experience levels realize the benefits of stretching, fitness and concentration from the practice of yoga. She first got introduced to yoga as a treatment for anxiety. She found the experience helpful and dove into the practice as a way to release the anxiety and naturally connect with her body and her feelings. Rebecca and Vic discuss how yoga is approachable to beginners, but also can be expanded to challenging poses for those who would like to add on core or learn advanced poses. As we explore redesigning the healthcare delivery system, yoga is one of the best tools for individuals to learn to breathe, become comfortable in their bodies and grow to their full potential.
