Podcast
Yoga Strong
Hosted by Bonnie Weeks · EN
To be "Yoga Strong" is to pay attention to not only your body, but how you navigate being human. While combining strength and grace creates a powerful flow-based yoga practice, it is the practice of paying attention in the same ways off-the-mat that can be equally impactful.
This podcast is a guide for yoga teachers, practitioners and people trying to craft a life they're proud AF about. This is about owning your voice. This is about curiosity, bravery, sensuality, and building a home in yourself.
