Yoga Stories with Matt and Monica

About Yoga Stories with Matt and Monica

Former Buddhist and yoga teacher Monica chats with Matt, ex-Mormon, about how they came to yoga, how it compares to their religious experiences and what yoga has taught them and continues to teach them. Their lighter style is easy for beginners who want to see what else there is to yoga apart from asana practice. As well as sharing their own continuing yoga story, Matt and Monica interview people with yoga stories that have something to teach us all. The guests range across cultures, religions and philosophies in an attempt to find the unity in yoga and with people of all faiths and none. The podcast is currently on an extended break - everything changes!

Our idea (and we don't claim it's original!) is to encourage you to start a personal (yoga) practice. Something simple. Something sustainable. Something you will do every day, and will see and feel a benefit from. ...

   Farewell to 21 (part 2)

   How quickly and dramatically can things change? In a global pandemic, the answer is "VERY"! In the last episode Monica was looking forward to Christmas in Slovakia and her birthday (and New Year) in Sicily.
