For today's episode, I had the pleasure of speaking with Monica Bright to explore how yoga can address chronic pain and deepen our connection to our bodies. Monica brings her extensive background in education and movement modalities to her yoga practice, enriching her teachings with a unique focus on body awareness and intentional movement.
Monica shares her journey from being an elementary school teacher and educational consultant to becoming a yoga teacher in 2012. Her passion for studying the human body and various movement modalities has set her apart in the yoga community. Now, she teaches online through her studio and has classes available on the Yoke Yoga app. Throughout this episode, Monica reminds us of the importance of slowing down, being intentional, and fostering a deeper connection with our bodies.
