Adopting a yoga practice has physical benefits. It affords us a new kind of awareness around what our bodies are capable of. But the benefits of yoga extend beyond the physical practice, helping us ease anxiety and connect with our body, mind and heart.

Denise Perry is the Owner and Studio Director at Chesapeake Yoga Nook, a yoga studio near Virginia Beach that brings the community together through the mindful practice of yoga. In addition to their in-person classes, Denise's team offers virtual classes and 1:1 coaching. Denise is passionate about teaching Gentle Flow, Restorative and Yin Yoga as well as meditation and breathwork.

On this episode of Wickedly Smart Women, Denise joins Anjel to share the three phases of her yoga journey, describing the sense of wholeness that comes from bringing together breathwork, meditation and the physical practice of yoga. She explains what inspired her to share her transformation with others, first as a teacher and now as the owner of her own studio.
