Gwendolen Warnick l Unpacking Trauma and Honouring the Complexities of Life Through Yoga
<p>Introducing my dear friend Gwenny! In this episode we touch on many things such as unpacking trauma, being a female in tech, how Yoga helps Gwenny remain present and aware, and harnessing our vital energy. I've learned so many things from my dear friend and she's been so helpful/supportive during my own transitions. Forever grateful for the long lasting friendships I have made while living in Australia.

Elena Cheung l Please stop saying "that's so Asian", White folks...Speak Up, and Ways Yoga can Start to Step it Up
<p>Introducing my dear friend, Elena! In this episode, we discuss her East Asian American experience, racism, and ways she has observed the Yoga space adding to this harm/ ways the Yoga Industry can begin to hop on the anti racism train. We both didn't expect how difficult it was to articulate 25/30 years of internalized messages and how painful it sometimes was to verbally share for fear of rejection. Halfway, we take a break and sit in a stress relieving meditation before hopping back on to discuss ways Yoga can step it up. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions and check out Elena's IG/website! She's super cool :) </p> <p><br></p> <p>Where to find Elena:</p> <p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/elenashapeshifts/">https://www.instagram.com/elenashapeshifts/</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.elenashapeshifts.com/">https://www.elenashapeshifts.com/</a></p> <p><br></p> <p>Donate to AAPI Charities/ If you have been touched by the Yoga Industry please consider donating to help India through their humanitarian crisis! </p> <p><a href="http://mbongyoga.com/resources-to-find-support-education-and-community/">http://mbongyoga.com/resources-to-find-support-education-and-community/</a></p> <p><br></p> <p>Come join the family!</p> <p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/__offthemat__/"><strong>https://www.instagram.com/__offthemat__/</strong></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.facebook.com/offthemat.mbongyoga"><strong>https://www.facebook.com/offthemat.mbongyoga</strong></a></p> <p>off the mat is a one woman production platform.

My Story: an exploration of how trauma informed yoga found me and ways to support an unstable nervous system
<p>I thought it was important before we dive into conversation with my guests for you to get to know me better. Therefore, episode 1 is about my story...my journey understanding, processing, and soothing a nervous system post traumatic event. My intention is to create space for all of us to learn, respect, and appreciate each other's experience so we can cultivate a more compassionate world. </p> <p>I have to say it was really odd to record this on my own in my tiny bedroom! I sat on my bolster in my jammies, a cup of tea in my hand, and spilled my heart out. It was another major learning curve and although I feel like I could edit and re-record forever...I have to trust my own self and know that similar to teaching a 60 min yoga class, I can't get everything I want to say in one go!</p> <p>Please reach out if you have any questions or are interested in sharing your own story. </p> <p><br></p> <p>Om Shanti Shanti Shanti </p> <p>xx Madeleine xx</p> <p>---</p> <p>Come join the family!</p> <p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/__offthemat__/">https://www.instagram.com/__offthemat__/</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.facebook.com/offthemat.mbongyoga">https://www.facebook.com/offthemat.mbongyoga</a></p> <p><a href="http://mbongyoga.com/">http://mbongyoga.com/</a></p> <p>off the mat is a one woman production platform.
