In this episode, I’m joined by my dear friend and office roommate, Jodi, who has been a massage therapist for almost 20 years and is also a dedicated yoga teacher. Jodi shares her wisdom on how yoga and massage therapy can help us become more present in our lives, relieve stress, and cultivate a loving relationship with ourselves. Tune in to learn more about how tuning into your breath, body, and mind can support your well-being and lead to a calmer, more balanced life.

We also talk about our upcoming Awaken Retreat with Dr. Debbie Victoria-Seale, happening on Saturday, October 5th, from 1-5 PM in downtown Napa. This half-day retreat is designed to help you rest, restore, and rejuvenate with a restorative yoga practice, guided meditation, and tools for grounding your energy.

You'll hear about:

1. Yoga as a Path to the Present Moment:
Jodi emphasizes the power of yoga in helping you stay connected to the present. By tuning into your breath and body during yoga postures, you learn how to release stress and anxiety, fostering a greater sense of inner peace.

2. The Synergy of Yoga and Massage:
With nearly two decades of experience as a massage therapist, Jodi discusses how understanding the body through massage deepens her yoga teaching. She talks about how combining both practices helps people release tension, strengthen their bodies, and feel more connected to themselves.

3. Meeting Your Body Where It’s At:
Jodi highlights the importance of honoring your body’s current state without judgment. In both yoga and life, meeting yourself with compassion can reduce stress and lead to more meaningful self-care.

4. The Benefits of Restorative Yoga:
Restorative yoga, which Jodi will be teaching at the Awaken Retreat, is a deeply grounding practice that helps calm anxiety and promotes relaxation. Jodi shares how this slower, more supported style of yoga allows your body to open and heal in its own time.

5. Awaken Retreat:
We talk about the upcoming Awaken Retreat on October 5th. Participants will experience a rest-focused workshop, guided meditation, a 45-minute restorative yoga session with Jodi, and an energy-grounding class with Dr. Debbie.
